Dark Knight Rises - Your Two Cents

Hey, don't diss Killer Moth. He's...a serious villain. He deserves RESPECT! He's also my favorite character in Lego Batman haha.

I actually liked Killer Moth as a kid. I always hoped he would show up in the Animated series. But it was probably for the best that he didn't. I think his only claim to fame is that he got taken out by Batgirl on her first night out.

He was my favorite villain in LEGO Batman! He just looked so CUTE. Oh my gosh, his little orange wings, and the little cute way he flaps and flies, I didn't want to hurt him! :c But I took that sucker down with the hammer of Gotham justice!

Totally serious though... Ahaha. c:

No! If there's one word to describe Killer Moth, it's menacing!

FALSE. Killer Moth simply allowed you to defeat him, because otherwise you would never have been able to win the game.

(That's funny though)

@Dane, Killer Moth >>>>>> Gorilla Boss!

I wasn't sure of it at first, but between reading some pages of his past experiences over at S_D, and his recent appearance in the Arkham City trailer, I think Hugo Strange would actually make for a very awesome villain.

I'd also include Catwoman, but less as a villain and more like a foil/temptress, maybe someone tempting Bruce to go further since he's already wanted by the law...

I still stand by Hush. He's incredibly villainous and menacing, and mysterious. Imagine him in a dark alley or empty building. Breathing. Standing. Eerie!

So many villains to choose from.. endless combinations. Tricky Nolan!

Thinking about it more, I think that the Black Mask would make a good villain in the new movie. With the whole Gotham Underworld in disarray after the whole Joker situation it could make perfect sense to introduce the Black Mask. I think if Nolan introduced Tommy Elliot in Batman Begins then Hush would be the villain for this new one.

Yes! I sure do hope Nolan does! I would love to see Black Mask in "real life". Ha!
Yippee!

If Black Mask were to be in the movie, what design would you guys like to see them use? The original black mask mobster look? or the current version where the mask is a skull? I would personally like to see the skull version. Mainly because you can get real creepy performance with that look if you get the right actor.

Well, there are pros and cons to both, I think:

For the mask, it could look very creepy if done right. However, that would severely limit what the actor would be able to do with the performance.

As for the burns--and those are burns, btw, not an actual mask--we saw in TDK that they could pull that look off well with Two-Face. However, it could also limit the actor's performance, the audience might just see him as a half-assed Two-Face clone, and the MPAA could decide that's just too damn gross for a PG-13 rating.

If they didn't for Two-Face, then I can't see them doing it for any version of Black Mask.

That's right. I forgot that his mask was from a piece of his father's coffin, that got burned onto his face when he set his mansion on fire trying to escape from Batman.

Like I said on the podcast Black Mask is the next logical step since he does have a connection with the mob. But I was thinking recently, Are the filmmakers going to go after Bruces psyche or are they gonna go after the Gotham war on crime thing? They would have to do both after what was set up with Batman Begins and Bruces psyche, fears, and mind stuff, and The Dark Knight which The war on crime thing was featured prominently. So maybe there will be two villains each of which would cover one or both aspects.

I really can't say because I'm not involved haha, but I think that's a really cool idea.

But think about it--it's the difference between one side of the face and the ENTIRE face. I think the amount of screen time that Harvey had as Two-Face probably helped it along too.
