Realistic Takes on Villains for The Batman Trilogy/Universe.


I can't wait for Riddler and Oswald and Selina becoming the Penguin and Catwoman in this. I loved Nolan's trilogy and what he did with the villains there but Im curious how certain other villains would be done. Always wanted a serial killer/jigsaw style version of the Riddler and Im finally getting that but what about others?

I wanna see a proper realistic and dark takes on Black Mask, Deathstroke and Deadshot, Firefly, Clayface.

I kinda wish Roman was in this. I always had this idea of him getting captured by Riddler, failing his test and getting Mask fused to his face and he just goes insane because of it. But that's probably too similar to Harvey Dent in TDK.

Would like to Penguin trying or becoming the New Mayor and hiring Assassins like Deathstroke, Deadshot and Firefly to try and kill Batman. Just have them be this super trio of Assassins.

Clayface you could have be a Actor who uses Mission Impossible/Darkman style Masks to be other people and just psychologically screwing with Batman.

Poison Ivy could just be your typical eco-terrorist using herbal poisons and chemical warfare to damage Gotham or battle Batman?

We already gotten Scarecrow, Ras and Talia Al Ghul, Two-Face, Bane in the Nolan movies. Don't really wanna see a repeat of that. But we also got Deathstroke and Deadshot in the DCEU movies but they didn't really do much with them.

Possiblities are endless.

What other villains could they do realistic/noir takes of that we haven't already seen?

I like the ideas for Penguin and Poison Ivy. I'd rather see Clayface done like his comic book self though.

There's a pretty interesting take on Batman set in 1919-1939 on YouTube
