So we have an official title and official confirmation that there's no Riddler.

This is a thing now, people!

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I was just thinking about this in the shower. What are the chances?

My money is on Two Face returning.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

The nanomachines inside Two Face's body actually kept him alive after the fall.

Clayface? Hush?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

Clayface? Hush?

Virtually no chance on Clayface. Look at the villains for the other two movies, there isn't a one of them with superpowers (at least, in their cinematic iteration; I don't know what Ra'S Al Ghul did in the comics, I never read 'em). Something like that would clash against the dark and realistic (by comic movie standards) world they've constructed here (which also means Two-Face is probably not returning from the dead, there's no way to do that without it looking ridiculous). That's why Riddler seemed like a pretty good possibility until now.

Catwoman maybe, although she can't be the main villain, character isn't vicious enough. Penguin's a bit too comedic for that slot either, plus he lacks any really defining villainous characteristics. He's basically just a funny-looking mob boss who is never caught unprepared by a rainstorm. I looked up Hush, and could definitely see that one happening. Hey, it even gives Nolan an excuse to bring Cillian Murphy back one more time, you know he'd like that.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I want Philip Seymour Hoffman as the penguin. That's what I want.

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

So there you have it, no Riddler. But that doesn't mean Catwoman and Killer Croc are out!

Killer Croc...in Nolan's Batman universe? Why would anyone want that?

Re: The Dark Knight Rises

I'm kinda disappointed! I was hoping Robin Williams would get the part of Riddler like he said he wanted to.

Now what villains are left? The dopey ones that no one cares about. That's who~
