Hey Eric. What villains would you love to see in The Batman 2? And who do you think should play them?

[@etabiansosin]

I don't mind having progressive messaging in superhero movies, tv shows, video games or comics, just make sure still focus on making sure the superhero characters are saving lives and protecting people from evil. Also, make the sure the stories are good with well-developed characters, great writing, great action scenes, great CGI and practical effects, great cinematography and a well written climax.

Something I really hope in Matt Reeves' The Batman movie is that he doesn't make the Joker a main villain yet, I hope they don't make him the main villain until probably the last film, and his plan should be like the plot of Batman Live from 2011 where all the villains join together and try to beat Batman. Also Eric, I bet you're not able to mention the MCU in a non-MCU related video.

[@spider-man500]

Definitely. Have him been the villain of the finale, where he has been watching Batman, studying him, "Falling for him". Then by the time the finale of the Matt Reeves universe, he will break every villain he ever dealt with out of Arkham for an all out attack. With him being the final "Boss" in a sense.

[@levlarl1463]

@@spider-man500 Exactly. That's exactly what I hope Matt Reeves does. In the second film, more villains could show such as Mr. Freeze, Two Face, and I really hope Scarecrow, and when they're defeated by Batman and sent to Arkham, the Joker, with possibly the Riddler's help, manipulates the villains into waiting for the right time to take over Arkham, and if this will be a trilogy, more villains could come and in the end, all the villains could take over Arkham and Batman will have to stop them with some help by either Catwoman, Robin or both. Just like in Batman Live.

[@countprophet5881]

I don’t think he’ll make the Joker the main antagonist just yet, but I can definitely see him in a supporting role in the sequel, similar to the Penguin, and later build him up as the main villain for the third film.

[@kevi5872]

The reason Riddler flooded the city was because something that was established throughout the movie was he wanted attention. He didn’t actually really care about the orphanage, he just wanted attention. For example all the info he had on the politician’s if he really cared he would’ve given the evidence to the authorities rather than doing it himself. And he thought he would never be forgotten for flooding the city but that’s changed when Batman says he will be forgotten and Gotham will rebuild.

[@thefanwithoutaface8105]

Personally I heavily disagree with the whole "Batman's parents are secretly corrupt or flawed individuals who were killed for that reason rather than simply bad luck." I always liked the fact that Bruce's parents were legitimately good people who were sadly gunned down by one of the people they were trying to help. What's more the fact it wasn't planned but a simple random accident also helps explain Bruce's motivation. He wants to ensure no one ever goes through what he did, namely a completely random, unplanned mugging. Having his parents be corrupt people killed by some person for that exact reason is obviously not something other people can relate to and obviously not something that happens on a regular basis.

This might be my favorite versus you had ever done for a trio of films, and you highlight something these 3 films have that is worth all the praise they all get, the use of great MUSIC, Cinematography and practical effects and costumes, is defined something have been lost in modern blockbusters, and I'm so happy Tim Burton, Christopher Nolan and Matt Reeves understand this so well (Tim obviously for the time but still counts), Batman films always have this level of care and I'm so happy this is still retain. I love the 3, but as you say, Batman Begins is the more complete of the 3, but The Batman came very close and I love Robet Pattison as Batman, he is so far the best BATMAN when it comes to the mask persona.....still Christian Bale is my overall favorite Batman/Bruce Wayne, he did such and incredible work as both Batman and Bruce, and Michael Keaton is unique, but still his Batman interpretation to this day is iconic and I love that costume.

I get it: he’s the best of Batman’s rogue’s gallery, but there are a TON of iconic other villains out there, too!

[@spider-man500]

You are missing something though. It's not that he is Batman's best villain(Which he is), it's that he is Batman's other side of the coin. Batman is only truly put to his final test when the Joker is around. So I am with you 50/50. I don't want him to come soon, let other be the villain instead. But I do want him to come at some point. I think the best way to handle this Joker is to have him cameo in every movie and series apart of this new Batman universe. Have him built up from the ground up, and then have him be the villain of the finale to it all. Have him be the ultimate villain.

Riddler's overarching plan is strongly biblical. The use of Ave Maria, the bible verses, the film's very direct reference to Se7en, it's clear that religion plays a large part in this character's ideology. The flooding of Gotham harkens to the great flood of the old testament, washing away the unclean and the sinners. It is still a little silly that his plan included screwing over countless other people suffering in poverty such as himself, but I feel like that at least explains why he went with a flood.

I think for riddler's sudden motivation for the third act for the seawalls to explode is rushed and contrived, but it does make some sense. The seawall is built using the money from the renewal fund.

Will look forward to the follow up once we get the Reeves/Patinson sequel and it can be compared with Batman Returns and Dark Knight For the sequel I really have my fingers crossed for Mad Hatter, Mr Freeze or Ventriloquist/Scarface as the antagonist, they would all be incredible in this iteration of Gotham

I'd love to see what Matt Reeves can do with the villain Man Bat/Dr Kirk Langstrom

It sure is. :) I hope you found the video enjoyable! I spent many hours and weeks putting it together.

@@EricCarter12 if you did a 4 way versus video it should have included the lego Batman movie. But it would probably obliterate the other movies.

I Love all of these 3 Movies in Different Ways,Batman 1989 is Still My Favorite Live Action Batman Movie,It Keeps a Mystery than Not Many Batman Movie Had,Michael Keaton can portray both the Person In and Out of the Mask,you see the Same Person but a Different Image and Jack Nickerson is the Best Joker and the reason why He Works better is because it was the First Time they Made the Character Darker than a Goofy Prankster,the point of the Characters is that He was Always Crazy but His One Bad Day liberated the Insanity Inside of Him,the Actor is Having Fun as the Joker Suppose to be but be a Different Version than Coping the Dark Knight Joker,He's a Tactical Genius but Playfully Mad keep in Mind this Movie came a Year after the Killing Joke Comic so it Kinda a Coincidence,and come on Nickerson is the Only Live Action Joker that can be Both Scary and Funny,No to Mention it's also interesting of One Creating the Other and this is a Gotham that Feels Realistic,this Masterpiece is a 10 out of 10. I'm going to be Honest I'm not a Fan of the Dark Knight Trilogy,Christopher Nolan,and Christian Bale,there's alot of Issues that are Difficult to Ignore that are Both Underrated and Overrated,Batman Begin is the Only One I can Appreciate other than the Dark Knight,I Love the Build Up,Origin,and Transformation of Bruce Wayne to Batman and even though they Butchered Scarecrow I Love Ra's Al Ghul in this Movie and portraits Gotham as A Corrupted City,8 or 9 out of 10,also your telling me that Michael Keaton's Batman kills when Christian Bale's Batman LITERALLY KILLS Ra's Al Ghul,Harvey Dent,and Talia Al Ghul with Who Knows How Many so Yeah. The Batman Movie I Coincidentally Watch it After the Cancellation of the God Awful Batwoman Series,and all I can say is that I Love it,Robert Patrickson portray a Reality Batman that 80% on the Mask and Suit which is Rare Nowadays in Coming Book Adaptations and tries to Save the City but it got Worse when the Waynes Died and the Method of Vengeance wasn't Enough he Needs to Become the Beacon of Hope and Protector Gotham Needs,the Characters and Gotham are the Best in any Live Action Batman Adaptation,and Riddle got Himself a Upgrade because He is Fantastic and He's a Villain that makes Us Question something that we are Noticing from Years in Batman Lore,did Gotham Inspired these Villains or was it Batman's Influence that Accidentally made Them,for Now I will say the Movie is Great and since I Watch it Once maybe it will get Better as Time goes By,9 or 10 out of 10.

The Batman was much darker than even Zack Snyder's vision (ie. Man Of Steel, Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice Ultimate Edition, and Zack Snyder's Justice League). There were several striking, strong visuals, and the main theme was damn fucking good. And there were a few nice twists, but that is it. #UsUnited

Hey, could I make a suggestion for a comparison? The Divergent Movies vs The Hunger Games. I haven’t seen any solid videos comparing the two series and stories in an in-depth analysis. The stories and characters are quite similar. I know you got a lot of stuff that your working on right now so you don’t have to. Great video and can’t wait for the Spider-Man comparison

[@MinecraftWorld1954]

The Batman is currently my 3rd favorite Batman movie, behind The Lego Batman Movie for Nostalgia reasons, and The Dark Knight for obvious reasons This [The Batman] was my most anticipated movie of 2022. Here’s hoping Jurassic World: Dominion, my next most anticipated, is just as, if not, better than The Batman. Also, I had a brain fart and forgot who Liam Neeson was until I remembered: Qui Gon Jin.

There’s so many things wrong with your comment but I respect that Lego Batman and the dark knight are baller

your videos are amazing. you only compare those movies which are relevant to each other and explain it wisely 💯💯

[@CommanderShepard-wq3wo]

28:42 *Lol, I love how most people claim that Christain Bale’s Batman “never killed” And yet he blows up the dojo full of ninjas, also killing the prisoner in the process. The very one he refused to execute. Fake Ra’s AND the real Ra’s. And don’t give me that “I wOn’T kiLl yOu bUt I dOn’T hAvE tO sAvE yOu” crap. He had Gordon to blow up the train track. Which mean Batman’s plan resulted in Ra’s death. Killed Harvey Dent by tackling off the building, and Talia by shooting her with the Batwing* *And the very same people have the audacity not like Batfleck because he also killed* 🤦🏻‍♂️

Nolan’s trilogy has not been topped and likely never will be. I hate that even tho Reeves’s is GREAT and i loved it, people are already humping it like a doorknob. Bale is still the GOAT.

I’ll make one comment about Batman not killing, cos yeah Keaton and Affleck’s Batman have no problem killing, but bales Batman does cross the line several times in the series and about twice in the movie, he kills almost everyone in the league of shadows when exploding the building and though it’s technically manslaughter not murder he lets Ra’s Al Ghul die on the train. Other than that, great vid
