Possible upcoming villians? My thoughts...
Riddler. I love the riddler personally - no flash, no thrash - just a crazy loon who toys with people.
Possible actors?
Jim Carrey would be good with his improved acting talent - however we won't see him as... 1) He's already done it and 2) people whould see him as Ace Ventura, something that doesn't fit *at all* in this new semi-gothic Gotham.
John Lithgow. This was my personal idea. Before you dismiss him as a simple comedian - imagine how his face would look in a flickering shadow as his slightly nasally voice qeuries in a loud, angered voice "Riddle me this, Batman!" His voice makes this a very possible choice.
Daniel Day-Lewis. The only thing I can think of that would prevent his casting is his voice. He absorbs himself into his roles and produces steller performances with 'bad guys'. (See Gangs of New York)
Robin Williams. He has the voice, he's done serious movies, and I think he could pull the villian aura off well.
Mister Freeze. This would be extremely easy in the technopunk-gothic movie Gotham . The suit would look awesome and would fit in very well in the setting. This is who I'm putting my money on, as the tag team of Two Face and Freeze appeals to me.
Possible Actors?
My only thought on this is Hugh Laurie. Not because he absolutely needs to be cast in the role, but because I can't think of anyone else at the moment. He's not imposing enough by himself to be imposing, but you slap on a suit that looks like it weighs 300 pounds and the imposing factor takes care of itself. Plus he looks intellectual. I'm not saying it's the best choice, I'm just saying it's possible.
Catwoman and Poison Ivy
These two may be cast into the same movie, or may be seperated. I'm pretty sure that the writers will avoid the fiasco that we saw in Spiderman 3. (Well, other people saw - I know better than to spend 2 hours watching a slideshow of various Spiderman villians)
Unfortunately, I dislike Catwoman as a villian. Whenever she appears the show / comic / movie / conversation turns into a drama, rather than an action. Posion Ivy has the same problem, but much less so. Ivy would be more interesting, but I'm completely sure Catwoman will be seen before her.
Actors?
Halle Berry. Sorry - I had to write it. There's not a chance in hell. I really have no idea who would be cast in the female slots.
Firefly. A long shot, but a possiblity. Someone crazy looking would be necessary. I'm out of ideas though.
Bane. Another possiblity. Once again, no idea on casting. The problem here is that you'd need to find a bodybuilder who is a good actor. These are notoriously rare.
