1. Hush - Jude Law
I was initially going to choose The Riddler, and many may argue why he isnt on this list. I felt that he was too akin to the Joker and Hugo Strange. He possessed the strangeness of Joker and the mental abilities of Strange. Personally, I think The Riddler is a little too cartoony and hokey." He could definitely be grittier and made darker but the challenge he serves Batman mentally can be given by Strange or even Hush and Joker. Hush, Tommy Elliot, was a childhood friend of Bruce Waynes His parents, who were also wealthy, were friends of the Waynes. Tommy, however, was a cruel child. He planned his parents deaths to acquire their wealth. His father died but his plan failed when Thomas Wayne performed surgery and saved his mothers life. Elliot blamed Bruce. He had to wait years to attain his fortune, waiting for his mother to die from cancer. As an adult he became a surgeon and began planning an elaborate multi-faceted scheme, involving the utilization and partnership with Batmans rogues gallery, too exact revenge on Bruce. Hes a villain who has such a close connection to Bruce. It would make for a harrowing trilogy seeing as how I believe his attack should span a trilogy. Additionally, Riddler is a patsy of his during his battle with Batman. I would like to see that on film but, not in such a huge capacity. At the point he uses Riddler, hes a drunk and not really significant. And Jude Law is an amazing actor who is known to be a huge comic book fan. I think its time he brought his talents to the comic book movie realm. Hes a proven actor whos had many great performances in various movies. He even favors Tommy Elliot as hes drawn in the comics. The Talented Mr. Ripley, Road to Perdition, Cold Mountain and A.I.: Artificial Intelligence are all films that showcase his immense talent. I just think hes perfect for this role. His being a comic book fan makes it all the better.
There you have it. Im open to opinions. I love criticism. Please leave your comments and arguments. I love feedback, especially from avid comic book and Batman fans like myself.
