Crazy that no one is talking about Killer Croc. At the end of the first movie Gotham is severely flooded. A flooded Gotham is paradise for Killer Croc. Not to mention how scary and badass Killer Croc could be in this Batman universe.

[@zachgillingham5601]

You nailed it. They could do a lot with croc, especially with the darker tone this Batman has. They could even bring in some horror elements

[@NPClownumber81googolplex]

Just a brute that looks fantastical

[@luke1397]

Yes either him or Solomon Grundy.

[@semipro1100]

I'd be all for that, brilliant mention. Killer Croc in a big budget version of like the Arkham City type croc cleaned up a bit would be epic and 100% a horror type element would be bring in new types of fans to the theaters too! @luke1397How would Solomon Grundy though be introduced in this universe? Definitely would watch that movie day ONE with either of those two as a big bad.

[@joesplace2960]

I personally don’t think croc could be a main villain. I would like to see him as a tough guy working for the main villain though.

[@Reese_Owens]

Mr. Freeze is a definite yes for me. In The Batman part 2, we need a villain that clashes with Bruce’s notion of what being a hero means. Vengeance was the main focus of the first part, and I think that theme of identity will play well in the sequel, as Bruce learns how to balance his ‘Batman identity’ with his ‘Bruce Wayne identity’. Since he has already embraced his heroic/hope side as ‘Batman,’ in my opinion, the absence of 'Bruce Wayne’ will continue cause harm in some way. Perhaps Mr. Freeze could play a role in helping Bruce realize that 'Bruce Wayne' is just as important to Gotham. Bruce Wayne's lack of involvement in Gotham could be what causes Victor’s situation. I think Mr. Freeze's tragic backstory would be the best opportunity for Bruce Wayne to exercise his empathy and to reconcile with the idea that he can be heroic by simply being Bruce Wayne as well as Batman.

I’m one of the few that doesn’t want Clayface in the Batverse, I just don’t know if the golden age version will resonate a lot of fans. Scarecrow or Mr Freeze would be the best picks for PT 2’s villian I can just see the amazing potential.

⁠@@LifeofZaydenthey wouldn’t do that. The monster version of Clayface is too fantastical in the Batverse, but they could save it for the DCU.

[@HonestJohn_01.19]

They never claimed that Matt Reeves Batverse wouldn't have fantastical elements. The first movie simply had a less than fantastical villain. And even if that does turn out to be the case, there are ways to make Clayface compelling, AND grounded.

[@The.Usurper]

​​@@HonestJohn_01.19 I think what people are referring to when they say he won't be doing fantastical elements is his answer to weather or not Superman could make an appearance in the Batverse. “You mean if it could? Is that what you’re saying? I mean, if something like that did happen, because I was very careful about … To me, what I try to do is take … I did this in the Apes films too, and even Cloverfield, this idea of taking the one fantastical element and then have everything around it, so it’ll be as grounded as possible, so that it could feel … I want it to feel emotionally real and to make everything feel very believable. In this movie, even further I think than what I did in those films, I tried to find the practical, believable version. If suddenly in the Batman world, you discovered that there was an alien that was Superman, there’d be a lot of shock. I mean, people would have to say, oh my God, and maybe that would be the one fantastical element.” It really does seem like he's trying to shy away from, or atleast tone down the fantastical elements of Batmans mythos. But as you said, there are ways of pulling off compelling and grounded villians who are usually not so grounded.

[@JD_1776]

@@HonestJohn_01.19 i think that it has been stated at some point by the director that it would be more grounded

[@pixelshark6809]

I personally would love to see the Mad Hatter. The mind control aspect from BTAS in a more grounded setting would be fun. Using hallucinogenic drugs to control people or causing random suicides as he’s “testing” wouldn’t be too far out of the grounded setting. Then Scarecrow reverse engineers it later for his fear toxin.

[@plasticweapon]

what is it about reeves that makes you think he would use a high concept character like freeze?

[@killerviper8251]

5 villains I really want to see in the Batman universe are: 1. Scarecrow: honestly he would just fit perfectly in this universe. I also believe he has the potential to be the main villain of the story (I still love the Batman begins version but I think there was a missed opportunity there). 2. Mr. Freeze: the only fantastycal villain that could work imo, with the right casting and portrayal he has the potential to be one of the best villains we ever saw. 3. Deathstroke: I barely see anyone talking about him and I don't know why. He might be the best villain that never made it to the big screen. I do think however that James Gunn might be saving him for the DCEU, which would make sense but I think he could fit in the Batman universe too...just imagine how epic the fight scenes would be. 4. Profesor Pyg: So underrated... Honestly a duo with him being a side villian and Scarecrow as the main one would be perfect, especially in this dark realistic universe. 5. Two Face: I usually want to see new characters but this one would also fit like a glove tbh and Matt Reeves can honestly make a very compelling story with this character. If they decide to do Two Face I want Jake Gyllenhall to be the actor who plays it. Honorable mentions: Mad hatter Scarface and the ventriloquist (but he would fit more in The Penguin series I think, but would be cool to appear in The Batman as an easter egg) Btw I'm not really a fan of Hush because in my opinion he is way too similar to the Riddler. (especially with the appearence). Even when I saw the first movie I thought that Paul Dano's riddler is more of a combination between Riddler and Hush. I'm not really a fan of Clayface either because I don't think the monster version would fit in this universe and I don't really want the golden age version either.

I keep thinking on how Clayface could work in this universe. Colin Ferrall's makeup as The Penguin would be my inspiration. Mike Marino was able to change the way Colin ferrall looked so well that it took people a while to recognize him after that first teaser trailer. I imagine that clayface could just be a guy who is extremely good at making masks and transforming himself to look like somebody else.

@@hexum7 an unknown couldn't have pulled off the Penguin the way Colin Farrell did. He played the role to the point many people didn't even realize it was him. That's why they greenlit a penguin show to further develop the character with a terrific actor in Colin. To answer your question his best performance was in The Banshees of Inisherin. One of my favorite movies to come out recently and Colin Farrell does his best work in it along with the other actors/actresses.

[@samspurgeon4222]

Make Clayface chock full of nano machines that make him change his appearance. An accident makes him have the melted, blobby look and he's able to control them for a period of time to change his appearance to whatever he wants, then loses control and reverts back. One thing I always wondered, why is Mr. Freeze "Mister" instead of "Doctor". He was a Dr. Before the accident, seems darn disrespectful to not call him Dr. Freeze...lol

[@JoshuaBallinger]

Mr Freeze is so iconic but also just a great story. He is not a quote on quote villain he is just a man who loves his wife and has come down on hard times and poeple as well as the enviorment around him pushed him down a path of fighting for his wife in a medical sense but also a criminal sinse. He doesnt wan't to hurt anyone. and 90% of the time he only keeps to himself. But people wrong him so often & get in the way of his mission to save his wife that he just comes off as a villain.

And I could see Clayface (golden age version) to be absolutely terrifying. Of course, professor pyg would be disturbing as well…so I’d love this duo. Hush…not as much because we’ve already gone that route in the first film.

Scarecrow deserves to truly shine as the big bad on his own. Still really want Pyg and Hatter in this world! We’ve gotten enough jokers.

[@shapesnatch1341]

I really don't know about having Clayface as the villain of Battinson pt 2. I just really don't think he fits into the much more realistic tone of the Battinson verse. I think he feels way more at home in the more fantastical Batman series like the Arkham games or the various animated shows. In that same vein, I think some villains, like Two-Face or Penguin can seem a bit wasted when put into the more fantasical Batman media, since in the end, they're mostly just guys that want money. So for Battinson pt 2, my personal picks for the Villain would be: Scarecrow (My favourite Batman Villain) Deathstroke Two-Face Two-Face could be good as a rising power in the crime world after the events of pt 1. It could also set up maybe a rivalry between Penguin and Two-Face, maybe encourgaing Penguin to help Batman more. Deathstroke is just a plain badass in every sence of the word. We've seen the Riddler challenge Batman at an intellectual level, so now it would be awesome to see someone challenge him physically, and not just someone how is a big brute, but rather someone with an equally sharp mind to Batman, but with the physical prowess to stand up to him. It could also show us another side to Batman, given that he and Deathstroke are not so unlike, they just chose different paths. Scarecrow is probably the most underrated Batman villain. Both of them use fear as a weapon, but in entirely different ways. Batman uses it on wrongdoers, letting them spread his fear via word of mouth, like what we saw in the intro of Battinson pt 1. Scarecrow does is by becoming fear itself. His toxin makes turns your own brain against you as it conjours up EXACTLY what you fear. Not to mention that at the end of pt 1, Batman talks about needing to become more than just fear for criminals, but hope for the good people of Gotham. The in steps Scarecrow to replace Batman as fear, only this time, it's the good people who are subject to his fear.

I think mr freeze being set up through the movie and the main baddie at the end but in the beginning of the movie we see how far Batman has come and the difference in his fighting and stealth changed as he fights a professor pyg and maybe even firefly and have Brendan Frazier return for the role since we never saw it

[@JD_1776]

i could see that but just without pyg. i like the combo of having an arsonist and an ice villain in the same movie. (there was an ep of the 04 batman show like that) It could be called the batman fire and ice or something cheesy like that

[@lxn3ly706]

would love to see a depiction of Hugo Strange played by someone like Giancarlo Esposito who can switch the entire mood of a scene or his entire character in an instant, like when Walt meets Gus for the first time in Breaking Bad for example, as the last film ended with Selena leaving Gotham and leaving the impact on Bruce’s morality that was mentioned in the video, as well as Bruce putting his vengeful and rageful attitude on the shelf to help the struggling people affected by the flooding, i think it would be really interesting to delve deeper into the psychological state of Bruce and what better way to do that than to have him be studied and obsessed over by Strange with Strange discovering that Bruce and Batman are the same person and building on that dynamic. I know that Strange isn’t as much of a physical threat to Bruce as he is a mental one so i could also see Strange bringing in someone to compete physically like a Bane who could be a mix of the TDKR Bane and the comics version, inhaling a dangerous steroid like gas through his mask to give him a physical edge as well as increase his focus and reactions to match Bruce’s training, a great casting for this Bane would be Dave Bautista as he does have the size and build for this hybrid Bane design and the acting ability to display emotion physically as well as experience as a pro wrestler, harlingen back to Banes luchador origins and Batista has expressed interest in the role of Bane. This muscle character could also go to a Deathstroke or Lady Shiva but I feel as if Bane fits this role better and could build a rivalry between Bane and Batman leading to Bane wanting to break him and a potential sequel with Bane as a fully main antagonist, likely inspired by the Knightfall comics. - kinda went off the deep end there lol but love the videos and would love to hear any thoughts on this idea

this stuff isn't truly complicated it writes itself. It's crime detective where the characters are a little bit more eccentric. They have all their distinct theme, you get to be creative with their backstory and motivations. There doesn't necessarily have to be one big bad. You can have multiple villains running around. but that's why it worked so well as weekly theme, one episode or couple episodes could feature a villain then the next episodes could be different villains.

[@StanleyJjo]

You need a poll with much more villains, like: Poison Ivy, Talia, Ra's, Court of Owls, Killer Croc, Bane

[@MizzAnthrope]

I also voted for Mr. Freeze, via the KZbin poll. He's been my pick from the second I walked out of the cinema after watching the film. I allowed myself to think up a whole scenario (depending on the timeframe) where Victor and Nora may have been victims that were caught up in the current flooding. Even if that weren't the case, I could still see Fries being a cryogenics expert as a Wayne employee, frustrated by Nora's cancer diagnosis. In a desperate, anguished bid to save his wife, he has Gotham's female citizens kidnapped for the purposes of experimentation. This is where Cryogenic chambers can be used to further the horror element of the film. But, as others have said, it's precisely because of Fries being a sympathetic character that he works to help along Bruce's psychological evolution. Fries' primary motivation for doing what he does for his dying/dead wife is his own *UNdying* love for her. If done right, it could be a poignant theme in Reeves' more grounded, crime saga interpretation of Gotham, further highlighting the very human struggles of every day Gothamites.

Mr. Freeze in Matt Reeves’s “The Batman” trilogy is one of, if not the most exciting prospect as a main villain ever for me. Once we saw the overall tone, style, and attention to detail in the first film, I’ve been so extremely excited about the possibility of Reeves and co. tackling that character. I have a couple of favorite fancasting choices-like Joel Edgerton-but I trust this team completely. I just hope we get freeze in part 2 or part 3 as the MAIN villain.

[@Werewolf914]

I agree that Mr Freeze and Scarecrow are the 2 I want to see most, though controversially I actually have always enjoyed the Golden Age Clayface, sure it's not as cool as a giant Shapeshifting blob Monster but he's still an interesting character Also what I'd like to see is like how The Batman had Penguin, or how The Dark Knight had Copybats and Batman vs Scarecrow I think it would be fun to see maybe a small scene of him stopping like the Ventriloquist, Dollmaker, or Jane Doe just a smaller Villain that probably wouldn't be big enough to be the big bad but still would be awesome to see, or maybe like Penguin and Catwoman their someone he encounters a long the way So for example say the Villain is Mr Freeze and Batman gets word of a break in and assuming it's Freeze robbing the place he shows up only to find it's actually The Ventriloquist and Scarface just something small like that, I don't know maybe that ruins the pacing of the movie I'd just like to see smaller Rogues that aren't big enough to carry a movie still show up

[@JD_1776]

I think scarecrow is the safe pick. Freeze in my opinion could either be amazing, or lackluster. He would be my #1 pick, but I think scarecrow would be a guaranteed hit with no risk. And if he had been on the pole killer croc would be my first pic I’d love to see him.

My first choice is Scarecrow. Have the movie be called "The Batman Part 2: City of Fear." Scarecrow basically shows Bruce why he shouldn't lean in so much on fear, and have Bruce confront his own fears head on. So he becomes a better Batman. My second choice would be Mr. Freeze. Have the movie be called "The Batman Part 2: Heart of Ice." Mr. Freeze shows Bruce why he shouldn't look at everyone with a black and white filter. Then Bruce learns to help the public by helping Freeze find a cure for Nora, by giving him the resources from Wayne Enterprises. You could have Mr. Freeze in Part 2. Then have Scarecrow in Part 3. Or vice versa.

I would love to see a more modern take on Mr. Freeze. All these villains would be great though. But I feel you could totally do a grounded Ivy. Like yeah, she wouldnt command plants but she could be a horticultural scientist. An unsuspecting femme fatale teaming up with Scarecrow. She helps him make the toxins. Maybe play her like Talia from DKRises, where Bruce/Batman trusts her, even working with her a bit never knowing she's actually Ivy. She could make hallucinagions, poisons, truth serums, and much more. Ivy and Scarecrow in a more modern Batman would be an incredibly cool movie.

Very nice video and overview take of the polls, of possibilities, and of your view. I feel also that whatever Reeves chooses will probably work.

Mr. Freeze would be, in a way, a natural progression. First movie tackled corruption through the police and mayor’s office. Second movie could focus on corruption in a corporate level while also looking into the Bruce Wayne public persona.

I always thought the implication was that Reeve's Riddler was Edward Elliot's son, and was an amalgam of both Riddler and Hush. He was left in the orphanage after his father was murdered and both this and his interaction with Bruce as a child led to his hatred of the elite. His costume in The Batman is way closer to Hush than it is to the traditional Riddler outfit and as far as I know, comic book Riddler has never really had an obsession with Bruce the way Hush or movie Riddler did.

I honestly think Clayface as we know him today would fit perfectly in this universe, Reeves’s Gotham feels gothic inspired & the greatest gothic villains are all reflections of what we fear & what can we fear more than a loss of self & identity. Not to mention that Clayface is another rather sympathetic villain who Batman tries to cure.

[@matthewwiederhold3946]

Please be Mr. Freeze

[@worldview3182]

I want Freeze and Two-Face. I do wanna see Barry’s Joker escape from Arkham but save that for later

[@dcmastermindfirst9418]

Nah those two are always used. Let's get Slade!

[@mattduncil]

its going to be poision ivy, who is Bella Real’

[@elirobyt2288]

After a final fight with my freeze, the ice cracks open a wall in arkham and joker escape or something wouldnt hurt

[@asorlokirunarsson9864]

I think we'll be getting quite a few villains in the next installment. In the first one we got Riddler, Catwoman, Penguin and Falcone. I would love to see villains that don't get a lot of attention in secondary roles. Black Mask, Great White Shark, Scarface, Solomon Grundy, Firefly. The list goes on. Personally I want Bane as the main villain in the second movie

[@claudiabcarvalho]

I think we will only be able to speculate about Part 2 when we learn what Reeves wants to do with Bruce, and what kind of story he wants to tell next. The Court of Owls and a realistic version of Poison Ivy and the League of Assassins seem to be steps that would push things forward - at least in my understanding. I would mention Hugo Strange, but I have a feeling he will play a huge part in the Arkham TV show as a "villain to the villains" sort of thing, and he might as well be the narrator of that story.

[@sidoGold1980]

I think arkham asylum isn't part of the reevesverse anymore but for the DCU if i read that right some time ago?! 🤔

[@ImTheReverse]

Pretty sure the Arkham series is cancelled

[@zachgillingham5601]

I’m a huge killer croc guy and I’d love to see a version similar to the one in the Arkham games (especially where the city flooded at the end of the first movie, a perfect setting for him)

[@charliesmith4331]

We’ve not seen deathstroke in a movie yet and I reckon he could be helping freeze get what he needs if the can go with a grounded version of him. There would be great fight scenes between them and maybe someone else in the background like Hatter instead of scarecrow another villain who’s not been in a film.

[@aliensdidntdoit.2101]

for future polls will you do it on blue sky? when it become open for the public its better than twitter (X)

[@BlutigeTranen]

Clayface could be amazing if written correctly. They had such a unique take on Riddler... the idea of a man who changes who he is to do crime reflects changing who you are to be Batman.

[@GabbieJHammond]

I think a problem some people think is that there will only be one villian mentioned in the sequel, In the Batman we got Falcons, penguin, riddler and cat woman- while the riddler was the main catalyst we will defianlty probably get more than one villian cameo in part two- my guess considering this movie has been stated to have a more emotional focus so our main spot light contenders would either be A.mr freeze because of his villian motivations paralleling Batman's issues with his parents or B. Scarecrow with his ability to manipulate would pose a emotional Catalyst for Batman to overcome the realization about his parents - with maybe side cameos from Hush, clay face or another rouge ie: mad hatter possibly two face or court of owls ect seeing as a lot of fans saw the riddlers cards in the first movie as Easter eggs to other rouges if this is for sight to villains Matt reeves plans to add to his universe or just fun details I'm not sure but I'm more focused on what mix of charecters would make the most since- I think most likely part two will have Mr. Freeze taking riddlers position in the spot light while scarecrow has a supporting role but that's my take on what I think is most likely to happen

[@johntrek187]

I want a fun, classic villian. My 5 are Joker. The Ventriloquist. Mr. Freeze. The Court of Owels. Two-face. Poison Ivy.

[@ImTheReverse]

Court of Owls aren’t classic. They debuted in 2011.

[@mattthefratman]

Scarecrow, mad hatter, or hugo strange would be done really well by Matt Reeves. also like the idea of Reeves portrayl of ivy. black mask would be interesting with how they have set up penguin and falcone in the first one.

[@guitarhero8110]

Azrael would be interesting. Gotham is a disaster zone and Batman going public could inspire copycats like John Paul Valley. He carries the vengeance torch when Bruce is trying to go beyond that, creates conflict and an opportunity for Bruce to examine how he's gone about this and what he needs to change. Definitely sleeker suit with more mobility and a need to up his game to beat Azrael. Theres something there.

[@scelonferdi]

I think ultimately, whoever Reeves chosses, they need to serve the story being told. Scarecrow can hold up a mirror to batman in terms of weaponizing fear, but riddler already did that. Hush can really work with a bruce that embraces the Wayne legacy and tries to build a force of good in Gotham there, the same goes for the court of owls (who'd be better for a trilogy finale imho). Now freeze can't only draw compassion from bats, but he also serves as a mirror in terms of obsession and being unable to let go of the past. Also imho there's zero fantastical elements needed for a good freeze adaption. The entire having to live in the cold and ice tech stuff is cool in a comic and gives batman interesting stuff to deal with and problems to solve. More importantly it's great symbolism in more way than one (victor not letting go and not living his own life due to Nora "dying", freezing in time. also his indifference towards the rest of the world). But the thing that makes freeze great is the emotional side of his story and that doesn't rely on the fantastical stuff.

[@neilscottfaulkner]

Well, now we know you have a glorious head of hair…and the info you give us fans is also amazing.

[@alexstovall4620]

I had the thought the other day but Professor Pyg would make an amazing villain for a future installment in this universe

[@carryingfire286]

I think Mr. Freeze is very logical. I mean the ending of The Batman ends with the entire city being flooded... what a better set up for FREEZE. Also the entire color theme of the first movie is red, blue would be a logical choice for Freeze too. It could totally be done.

[@cybrid37]

A good duo that could work here is Hush & Black Mask. Both are childhood friends of Bruce Wayne, both come from rich families and both (Tommy Elliot & Roman Sionis) are public figures in their own right. Batman 2 could literally be billionaire hermit Bruce Wayne reuniting with his childhood friends only to discover that he's not the only one with a double life.

[@schlock159]

I would love them to keep it grounded and make Two-Face the villain. I think it would be great if this one will have a legal thriller/courtroom drama kind of vibe.

[@carnthecorby]

I would love Freeze as the main antagonist with minor background villains or other characters being introduced. Such as was done with Penguin and Catwoman in the first film.

[@connorbullerwell900]

The Batman 2 scarecrow , The Batman 3 … Joker and the court of owls , the sheer contrast of Batman trying to contain the jokers chaos whilst trying to deter the court of owls lust for absolute control would be really interesting , the two tones of the antagonists would really keep the viewers on their toes I think

[@someguy42093]

It has to be court of owls. It’s the perfect material for Matt reeves Batman and could easily be set up in the second one and be the main focus of the third. The penguin could become mayor of Gotham with the forty of owls pulling the strings in the back. Leading Batman into a massive conspiracy. The scene in the labyrinth is one of the greatest scenes in not only Batman but also comics in general. Imagine it on film.

[@ATVOffroadFurry]

for the Batman part one/hush comparison, it’s more like they threw the Riddler into the long Halloween storyline. but also, they used a lot of elements from hush in that as well, there’s two sides to this is all I’m saying.

[@swift8448]

I think it would be so cool for him to come back in the second one slightly bigger than he was in the first one because he has the perfect year one batman build rn but as he evolves like in the comics he gets bigger and looks more like batman, if he was slightly smaller than affleck but still bigger than he is now would be so cool just because of what it would do from the comics

[@NotSpoiledMilk]

I feel as though there could be a new version of scarecrow and it could be that he is somehow connected to the drops and how they are mentioned so much throughout the film, even when they could be replaced by any other drug. I feel as though the dropheads will come in later again

[@johnrios8972]

with the city being rebuilt i lowkey want like an arkham city typa deal, can bring in lots of characters while clayface can still be the main villain and could be 2 batmans in arkham city

[@semipro1100]

An intense and high stakes Poison Ivy would be interesting...to see maybe Batman falling for her tricks/charm and then a close one is ACTUALLY killed this time(or whoever is the main villain) to prepare him for an encounter with the Joker in the third film or near the end of the movie would make sense. Poison Ivy could make something as epic as the flooding of the city but instead its her vines surrounding everyone in and maybe she's turning everyone into wood/trees like how she did to Alfred in the animated series. Nightmare fuel it was as a kid and wish more of it was put in the animated films but in a movie.....would make Poison Ivy scary as hell to the general audience.

[@adamrudkin938]

I would love pyg as an early villian leading up to Hugo strange, maybe even hired by strange. Then leading to the end of the film, that strange is actually working for the court of owls which would be in the third film

[@Deathskiss04]

For part 2 I'd love to see hush or Killer Croc. Killer Croc would be nice cuz you could have him be grounded and real. It'd give part 2 a horror/action batman movie that would be something new that we havent seen. You could save hush and or joker for part 3 and have part 4 be the court of owls. That would make perfect sense to me.

[@Modern_Hippie]

I haven’t read any comics with the original clay face but honestly I thought professor pyg could fit rlly well in Matt revives universe and also could add a body horror type element to his second movie (pyg is also my top 5 Batman villains)

[@PhantomFlick]

Anthony Hopkins for Ventriloquist. Make it kind of a spiritual sequel to the movie Magic (1978)

[@christopherlamb7250]

for me joker and the riddler go on a rampage due to the deleted scene, it was so good and the guy who played him was awesome, like a book you cant put down.

[@jmdnelson4891]

My choice for the villains? - Mr. Freeze (Main) or Hush (Main) - Dr. Hugo Strange (Supporting) - Joker (Hannibal Lecter type villain he was in The Batman Deleted Scene) 'Escapes with Riddler at the end of Part 2!!'

[@KirkBonesJones]

Imagine Scarecrow, defeated at the end and placed in Arkham….with Joker, Riddler and any other villains. Now imagine a Matt Reeves Arkham Asylum….

[@MultiSpeedMetal]

If we're doing a character like Freeze it makes sense he would hire muscle to keep Batman out of his way. Someone like Slade Wilson (Teen Titans villain but who cares) could work. I just don't see a freeze gun as being believable in this version. The Freeze costume could be done somewhat grounded if he's wearing some kind of insulated outfit to keep warm while working on cryo science. I just wonder how you could keep the stakes as high as the first one unless Freeze is working with a higher force or something. Although that could work with the sympathetic character angle where Batman tries to convince Freeze to switch sides maybe offering Waynetech help which also gets him more invested in his Bruce persona when he sees the potential good of the company he inherited contrasting his rejection of it in the first movie.

[@youngko4667]

I tried writing a batman 2 movie starting scene were penguin and mr freeze were the main villains instead of just one and it was so much fun

[@Tshegg08]

Including Edward Elliot in name, and having “HUSH!” in the riddlers video kinda feels like clear foreshadowing

[@YYOUNGG.ZZEUSS]

I want to see Black Mask and the court of owls.

[@erycM3]

As always, excellent video! However, I remember you once commented that Matt Reeves stated that this saga will be a trilogy. I didn't see this being reported anywhere. If eventually that's not a reality and there's an opening for four or five films in total, that's definitely what I want most. Pattinson's Batman, intentionally punctuated in the first one's script, is still not an example of a detective... he makes many mistakes and poorly develops his power of deduction in an investigation. I would therefore like this to work in all films, until his skill as a detective and intelligence become an unquestionable fact. Furthermore, this is still a very immature Bruce Wayne who has no self-knowledge, psychologically; This should be equally laborious gradually. I also find the idea of ​​a JASON TODD terms very exciting, so that he can help with Bruce's personal and narrative development, enhancing his imbalance, seeing the child being killed in a hypothetical fourth film, at the end of this feature. It would be great to see the Joker adapted as a truly ruthless, intelligent, and thorough person, knowing how to hurt Batman and how to instigate a cat-and-mouse hunt - all while having fun. We would see Batman even more unbalanced, fully understanding his brutality, and, in the end, after so many deaths and destruction, he would need to choose between killing or serving justice, demonstrating moral resilience and arresting the Joker. How about we see Leslie Thompkins as a psychologist? Bruce reuniting with her in the third film...

[@44heartz]

Im kind of disappointed its not the joker like we saw in the end of the first movie but i guess they gotta build it up somehow. Im gonna lose it tho if they do some major tease in part 2's ending lol
