The Dark Knight (SPOILERS START ON PAGE 3)
PassiveTheory:
It's a sad day when the fucking Ventriloquist is a poll option and Black Mask and Hush are left off... What the fuck, people?

--- Quote from: Jimmy the Squid on 24 Jul 2008, 02:34 ---The only thing I can think of, which is no longer possible would have been to kill the Joker and keep Two Face alive. Two Face is such a huge character in Batman that they should have kept him alive for subsequent films to explore the guilt that Batman is meant to feel for what happened to him.
Also I really didn't like Maggie Gyllenhal as Rachel Dawes. I kept expecting her to snap her fingers at someone, she was being so sassy!

Two Face is entirely possible. All they need to do is claim that in order to protect his image and all that he worked for they faked his death so he could remain the hero; meanwhile, they would quietly move him to Arkham. If they did that they could set it up so Two Face elevates someone like Black Mask as a credible main villain.

That's because Ventriloquist has boundless potential and both the Black Mask and Hush are one dimensional garbage.
Black Mask has always been the poor man's Joker. He cracks wise and is a twisted prick. He's simply boring.
And Hush was one of the worst things I have ever read. Jeph Loeb has really never done a good comic that didn't involve Tim Sale. The quicker he's forgotten entirely, the happier I'll be.
Really, there hasn't been a good new Batman villain since Bane.

I like that they left him alive, that's how it is in the comics. Batman won't kill or let anyone be killed (exception: cops when they are in his way. THEN THEY GO EXPLODEY). He'll probably be holed up in Arkham on insanity charges.
PassiveTheory:
Black Mask was two-dimensional, at least in his original incarnation; I always liked how he turned to crime because he no longer wanted to wear the "mask" he had worn in public for so long. That and he also "killed" a Robin.
Personally I think having a one-two punch of Catwoman/Black Mask in the next movie is the best way to go. Catwoman because this last movie Bruce toys a lot with the idea that he can possibly give up his mantle and return to a normal life and that's clearly not the case. Enter Catwoman, someone who offers Bruce a reason to abandon his civilian identity and you can play that off for most of the movie. Then you've got Black Mask, and if Roman can be played right, you can fit in a character with the kind of disdain for two-faced individuals that it forces Batman to re-examine his own duality. Plus Black Mask can actually go toe to toe with the Dark Knight.
Better than the fucking Riddler again...
