8. Rogues Gallery
Batman has, probably, the best rogues gallery of any hero in comic books. The Joker, Riddler, Bane, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Killer Croc, The Penguin, Mister Freeze, Two Face, Catwoman, Clayface, Hush, Victor Zsasz, Hugo Strange, The Falcone Crime Family, other Organized Crime establishments etc. The list goes on. Preferably, among this list, the need for the unrealistic villain is vital. Wouldnt it be great to see a good representation of Mister Freeze in screen? The freeze gun? What about Killer Croc? Poison Ivy? Its a fanboys dream. Then there are the more intricate villains. The Riddler would pose a great mental threat to Batman. Hugo Strange would attack Batmans psychology. Hush as well. Then theres the elephant in the room; The Joker. Id save him for a sequel; dont use him right away. You can never match Heath Ledgers legendary performance. You can only hope to honor it by attempting to get close to it. I want the Joker from the comics. Devilishly dangerous. That mix of humor and carnage. A brilliant serial killer who mixes jokes with bloodshed. Also, a joker whos obsessed with Batman. One, who wants to kill Batman. It should be a rivalry between the two. A hatred. Nolans Joker transformed to the fact that he wanted to battle Batman forever. He liked the fun they had battling one another. He learned that he didnt want to kill him. This Joker despises Bats and wants him dead. Overall, the rogues gallery had got to vary and use the more unusual and supernatural villains.
