That's good news, as I have more faith in these writers from the Penguin show than I do from the first movie.

That I have to agree with

I’m really curious who the big bad is going to be in The Batman II

My money is on Clock King, but Egghead and King Tut are also strong contenders.

Two-Face or Freeze or Scarecrow would be my guesses. I know, been there done that.

Was thinking about this earlier - they absolutely have to have Dent / Two Face in the trilogy, he’s too big a character to not feature, particularly with the mob storyline being so prominent. But I can’t see them making two face the main villain in Batman II as they would need to establish Dent first. So that leaves the possibility of establishing Dent as the DA in the second and then him going through his transformation toward the end or even in the third. But that would make Batman III with two face and joker too similar to TDK in the villain lineup department.

So yeah scratching my head on this.

With them having mentioned Batman II will be in the winter, it could well be MR. Freeze.

court of owls has been suggested too but it feels too early for that

I sincerly hope and pray it's freeze tbh. We need redemtion and we need everyone to see that ALL the batman villians are just as interesting as the joker.

I always said ManBAt would be amazing in a fly like scenario but WB is to stupid to commit to that and Clayface (an actual Clay monster who shapeshift) would be amazing. And Poison Ivy would be top tier aswell. Honestly Make The second movie Poison Ivy and Freeze.

Either of those would be cool. Especially if you gave Batman to del Toro ...

I don’t trust WB to make really cool decisions like that. But I really do want to move away from “grounded” Batman and dive into more fantastical villains. That’s what made Batman interesting. There were literally monsters in Gotham and then there mob things but they were only a little problem.

I honestly want to see scarecrow again.
I appreciate Nolan for what he’s done for the brand but the “realistic” approach to these characters has gotten tired.

Yup years later I still hate tdkr
