Who will be the next Batman villain? (no spoilers in first post)

for the eleventybillionth time .....

> ANYONE

perfect origin story too, as langstrom's gradual change into it would be perfect ..... oh yeah and seeing batman chase the fucker in a new batplane .....

in THIS MOTHERFUCKER!!!!!
 
When Batman was being shown his new armor by fox batman said
"How will this do against dogs"
In fox's response he says "It'll do fine against Cats"


So I think catwoman is next
 
I'm suspecting it would be someone that is popular with the common audience, my choice goes to The Riddler since its already been done.
 
if david tennant is vying for the role of the riddler, does that mean that mr. reese is out of the running? guess we're wrong on that one
 
the only thing against riddler, penguin and catwoman is that nolan was saying he wanted to do characters that hadn't been portrayed before.

then again, i need to see when that interview was as he's 2/4 on that one. (ra's and scarecrow being "original" with two-face and joker having already been done)
 
even though I know Nolan has said he won't, I think Penguin could be done realistically. While Danny Devito's portrayal was a physically deformed maniac, there was a previous more "normal" Penguin... From his wiki bio:
Born Oswald Chesterfield Cobblepot, the Penguin is bullied as a child for his short stature, obesity, and beak-like nose. Several stories relate that he was forced as a child to always carry an umbrella by his over-protective mother, due to his father dying of pneumonia after being drenched in a downpour. These traits make him an outcast in his rich, high society family; their rejection drives him to become a criminal. In keeping with his family's tradition of wealth, the Penguin lives a life of crime, yet executes it with his own self-proclaimed class and style. In keeping with his pretensions of being a refined gentleman, he also prefers to wear formal wear such as a top hat, monocle, and tuxedo during his jobs.

The Penguin received his alias from a childhood nickname, bestowed by his peers, who teased him because of his grotesque appearance and love of birds. (Retellings of his origin suggest he also suffered from some sort of hip ailment, which caused him to waddle when he walked. The Penguin shows no signs of suffering from this affliction today.) Some comics suggest that he tried to abandon the nickname, which he hates, but it has been permanently brought into popularity by his high-profile criminal career. He has cashed in on its popularity with his Iceberg Lounge nightclub in Gotham City.That could set up an interesting story, imo. Bruce Wayne deals with him in various social circles since Penguin is in the same economic situation as him, while at the same time fighting as Batman to keep him and his minions from taking over the city's underworld from the remnants of Carmine Falcone's operation.

It could be done.
