See Aidan Gallagher As Robin For Robert Pattinson’s ‘The Batman’ Sequel

9. Blockbuster

Blockbuster is extra properly established as a Nightwing foe, however he did really battle Batman and Robin first. I don’t need this to be an extended confrontation, however with the information of a Nightwing film being in growth, it’d be cool if Blockbuster was a barely established character earlier than Nightwing got here out.

Blockbuster needs to be featured in a flashback scene that exhibits Batman reminiscing about his days with Dick Grayson when he was Robin. He shouldn’t be given an excessive amount of of a backstory within the film, simply be featured in a terrific battle scene to get followers enthusiastic about him for a future film. Not solely does Roland Desmond have brutish energy and is impervious to most accidents, he’s extremely tactical and clever. He shortly asserts himself because the Kingpin of Bludhaven and begins controlling the town how he sees match.  Seeing an acrobatic hero take down a foe who fights just like the Hulk can be a enjoyable second in both The Batman or Nightwing.

8. Firefly

Right here’s one other foe that will work higher within the background or as employed muscle for one more villain. As you’ll be able to possible guess, Firefly is an arsonist who makes use of flamethrowers and particular results rigs to terrorize Gotham. He’s a low-level thug that discovered a strategy to harm lots of people. He’s not manipulative like Riddler or scary like Bane, he’s simply bored and in want of some bucks. He’ll work with different decrease tiered villains when vital, however he’s cocky sufficient to assume he can survive engaged on his personal generally.

I need to see Batman save kids from a burning constructing and must take care of Firefly on the similar time. That’d be an incredible strategy to begin the film to ascertain simply how a lot crap Batman has to take care of on a daily day.

7. Woman Shiva

We noticed Talia Al Ghul in Darkish Knight Rises, however Woman Shiva is Batman’s most dangerous feminine opponent on the subject of hand-to-hand fight. Skilled by the League of Assassins, Shiva is likely one of the most feared and famend killers within the DCU. Whereas she would possibly use weapons when it’s vital, she prefers killing her opponents together with her naked fingers.

She is such a talented fighter and tactician that she will be able to predict her opponent’s subsequent strikes primarily based on their physique actions. At totally different factors all through Batman’s timeline, the 2 of them have been allies. She even helped develop his coaching routine within the Knightfall story line after he had his again damaged by Bane.  

It’d be enjoyable to look at a reluctant partnership like this unfold on the big-screen. Whereas they’ll’t keep allies ceaselessly, it’d be neat to look at what in the end comes between them and the 2 outdated pals meet on the battlefield.

6. Professor Pyg

Professor Pyg is likely one of the latest Batman villains on this checklist and he already seems like a basic. He’s one among Grant Morrison’s twisted characters he developed particularly for his collection when Dick Grayson was Batman. Professor Pyg was Morrison’s try and create one of many weirdest, most twisted Batman rogues but.

Lazlo Valentin desires to make everybody round him good. The one downside his model of good means drugged and became a senseless minion. He kidnaps folks and performs dangerous cosmetic surgery on them that leaves them scarred, drugged and below his management. When he tries to kidnap Damian Wayne, he bites off greater than he can chew although and brings the total rage of Batman down on him.

He’s a chemist and surgeon who has been identified to make use of viruses and his data of the physique to try to assert management over Gotham. It’d be enjoyable to look at Batman race in opposition to the clock to try to cease a Contagion like occasion from going down that dismantle Gotham.

Professor Pyg is a novel, twisted foe that belongs on the large display as quickly as potential! I simply need to watch a person in a Pyg costume function on younger kids listening to shitty pop music. I can’t be the one one, proper…?

5. The Ventriloquist

The Ventriloquist is a tragic character in my view. Arnold Wesker is a puppeteer with a number of personalities.  Underneath the psychological stress from a gangster character named Scarface, Wesker walks round with a scary trying doll killing folks and operating a legal empire. Whereas many individuals assume Wesker is simply hiding behind the puppet, actually he actually considers himself Scarface’s lackey. The grasp turns into the puppet as Wesker turns into scared and even feels threatened sometimes by Scarface.

Whereas numerous Batman’s foes are shortly written off as mentally unwell, Wesker is genuinely sick. He acts out evil tendencies as a result of the voices in his head inform him to do them. This makes him a genuinely empathetic character that audiences can relate to. Everybody has dangerous issues they need to do, however most of us have the willpower to beat these baser tendencies and work ahead in a productive method. Watching Batman determine one of the best ways to take care of Wesker on the battlefield and determining one of the best ways to get him assist might lead to a Batman film not like something we’ve ever seen. Let’s make Batman sympathetic concerning the villain for as soon as simply because he’s a great man and never as a result of he’s the rationale he’s evil now (a la Two Face in The Darkish Knight).

4. Black Masks

Black Masks is likely one of the most twisted figures in Gotham. Roman Sionis is a kingpin with a fetish-like love for masks who will do something to stay on the high of the legal underground. Roman was born right into a rich, elite household that all the time cared extra about cash than his personal well-being. Upon his start, he was dropped by the physician. As a substitute of freaking out about their son’s well being, the rich dad and mom coated up the entire fiasco to make sure their pals wouldn’t hear about it. He grew up and was pressured to endure the social fakery of the social elite as his dad and mom continuously sucked as much as the Waynes regardless of hating them. Roman quickly grew to become obsessive about the totally different masks folks placed on to get what they want.

Roman has no limits on the subject of getting what he desires. He has tortured Robins and burned folks alive simply to safe his place. He’s one among DC’s most sadistic villains, and I feel his backstory and emotional head house might work properly in a Batman film.

3. Clayface

Whereas there have been fairly a couple of totally different Clayfaces with numerous origins all through Batman’s historical past, I feel he would serve finest on the large display as a boogey-man esque monster with out a lot of a backstory. I do know a few of you is likely to be offended at that call as a result of DC Rebirth has fleshed out his character a bit and made him one among Batman’s allies, however Clayface ought to stay a scary monster for the large display. Clayface even began as a film character contained in the comics and he jogs my memory of a few of the basic Common monsters. You bought your vampire, wolfman and mummy, now all you want is your mud monster.

I’m to not certain what his motivations needs to be within the film, however I simply need to see Batman must battle a dwelling cement wall for somewhat bit. I didn’t like Spider-Man 3, however I nonetheless have fond recollections of the Sandman battle scene, and I’d like to see that dealt with in a extra mature, darkish style.

2. Hush

Tommy Elliot is one among Bruce Wayne’s oldest pals. He additionally simply occurs to be one among his deadliest rivals. It looks as if an outdated Batman rival trick at this level, however Hush is aware of tips on how to manipulate the opposite Gotham villains to do his bidding. In contrast to characters just like the Joker or Penguin who would possibly pay different villains to work for them, Hush can usually have folks do his bidding with out them even realizing it.  

Certain, he asks some folks for assist generally, like my boy Clayface is a really emotional confrontation I don’t need to spoil within the authentic Hush story line. Hush is aware of precisely what buttons to push to get Batman extraordinarily offended and emotionally weak. Not solely is he a bodily match for Batman, however he’s a psychological equal to him that forces Batman to dig deep and assume in another way as a way to take him down. A battle between two outdated pals is likely to be a drained trope at this level, nevertheless it might be dealt with properly if gifted screenwriters are hooked up to the mission.

1. Hugo Unusual

Hugo Unusual is one among Batman’s most mentally imposing and oldest foes. Not solely was he the primary foe to infer Batman’s secret identification, he usually manipulates different villains to do his bidding to maintain his personal fingers clear. Dr. Unusual (yup, he’s really a health care provider) works at Arkham Asylum. So a part of his job is direct contact with Gotham’s most wished, making all of it the better for him to slowly twist them to his bidding. Not solely is he educated in psychology, however he’s additionally a grasp biologist and chemist, usually brewing up horrible issues for the inmates and residents of Gotham.
