Raptor here, regretting ever introducing McBane to Tegan and Sara.
So by now everyone’s seen The Dark Knight. And if you haven’t you are no one (That’s right I’m talking to you my Amish readers). Heath Ledger gives an excellent performance as one of Batman’s greatest archenemies the Joker. But who will be the next villain in the Nolan line of films? It’s time to look at a list of Batman’s greatest nemeses that are left, so we aren’t left with some of the more worthless characters like Calender Man or Crazy Quilt.
5. Harley Quinn-
Pros: Created for the 90’s series Batman: The Animated Series, Harley became a surprisingly well rounded character that found her way back into the comic series.
Cons: She’s a Joker disciple, and unless Ledger’s death is the most brilliant and uncouth marketing hoax of all time it’s not going to happen.
4. Mr. Freeze-
Pros: A mad scientist who’s failed experiments to save his wife lead to his own disfigurement/personality problems. If re-imaged and toned down a bit, he could fit in well with the what seems to be a no superpowered villain universe Nolan has so far imagined.
Cons:
3. Bane-
Pros: He’s incredibly strong, and while smart, he keeps his plots to overthrow things simple and grounded. He’s a ‘roided out freak who wears a luchadore’s mask. He also did the unthinkable when he broke Batman in ways Ivan Draco only dreamed. Sending Bruce Wayne into self exile is no small feat. Tell me you couldn’t see the rock playing this guy.
Cons: He keeps his schemes simple and grounded which doesn’t exactly jive in the Nolanverse.
2. Black Mask-
Pros- Let’s start with him killing a Robin. Granted it was a girl Robin, but it’s a Robin none the less. He’s ruthless and sadistic kingpin of a drug trafficking ring. He killed Catwoman’s brother-in-law and made her sister eat him. If that didn’t run him up the charts for the level of darkness appropriate for the next Batman movie nothing will.
Cons: He pails in comparison to the evil of….
1. Joel Schumacher
Pros: No one has done more damage to Batman than Joel Schumacher, and that’s including the campy 60’s television show. His crimes include Batman Forever and Batman and Robin. But most damning of all where the bat nipples.
Cons: None, but it won’t happen because no film company has the balls to hold him accountable.

Real List
1. Riddler - Jake Gyllenhal
super easy to pull off in a "no actualy super power world" it would essentially be a SAW movie but PG-13 and in Batman, but same premise - you will die if someone doesn't figure out this riddle - this one is Dawn's
2. Poison Ivy - Scarlett Johannsen
Also easy to put in Nolan's word. She is a master of plants and plant extracts making her a master of poison and pollen. You could probably give her some wierd poison immunity for all her time fucking with them. Johannsen already did Prestige with Nolan and Cain AND Bale - i mean shit, how does this NOT happen
3. Catwoman Jessica Biel
Good lord please don't, but I don't put it past hollywood
4. Joker - Jake Gyllenhal
Perfect. Who i wanted to play Joker before Heath Ledger got it, however he did a badass oscar worthy job. Only Heath Ledgers death changed my mind.
5. Penguin - Paul Giamatti
This is really because the Actor fits the character, I think Penguin is boring as balls. But according to Dawn the REAL penguin is like an aristocrat which would mean you could update the character for Nolan's deal thus making him new, different, yet still iconic.
