Prophecy

Will, you mentioned a new Freeze simply because he could be someone that the audience could feel sorry for, someone they could sympathize or empathize with. In that same vein what about the original Scarface with Arnold Wesker at the helm?

Being a child of the mob he could fit that angle and his Dissociative Identity Disorder (Multiple Personality Disorder?) could link into Arkham Asylum. Granted having a killer ventriloquist could wind up being very childish. However, if done correctly Wesker's self-conflicting nature could provide a world of depth.

However, I could see Riddler being the next villian and taking this chance to turn Batman from just a vigilante with high tech, a la Punisher, into one of the world's greatest detectives as he's often billed in the comics.

As for Bane, I don't see how they could add him without staying true to the end mythos. So now the Bat is broken... Where do we go from here? We can't end with Bruce crippled and adding Azrael (Valley) just seems crazy. Not to mention adding Valley instead of Robin or Nightwing would lose more than a few people. So that means Batman has to be broken and the come back from being a paralyzed better than ever. Just explaining that might be a bit much in the realistic world that the films are set in.
