David Goyer revealed in an interview with MTV that "...while nothing is concrete, both a villain and a theme have been bandied about."
I think it's interesting that his seems much more psyched about the apparent theme they are going for, rather than the villain.
The interview is here.
Did Goyer have any involvement in 2 at all?

I figure the Nolans took story elements from him, then wrote their own dialogue and "depth" into the story, since his scripts tend to be pretty piss-poor.
I haven't seen Dark Knight yet... but I'm guessing

Good guess.Quote:

That was the first movie. Get with it. We're talking about number three here.Quote:

I think the Penguin done right could make for an effective villain, but since they are going for "more realism" The Riddler would make a great deal more sense.
Wow, Black Mask is a pretty good idea - wouldn't have thought of that. I'd like Penguin as a supporting villain, it's not like he's a fantasy character in the comic, just in the Burton movies, but Nolan has already said he doesn't like it.Quote:

A third Batman movie would HAVE to include Robin. It's the next natural step - Batman/Wayne as a reluctant father figure.
Robin just wouldn't fit in this world.
Nolan's Batman is so very against putting anyone else in danger, to then take a child and put their life on the line would make no sense with what has already been established.
Also, Aaron Eckhart has agreed to do another film, so I guess we haven't seen the last of Two-Face.
This is true.Quote:

In the comics, I always get the vibe that it was Alfred the one who was dead-set against jeopardizing a young life, while Batman related more to how Dick Grayson felt - which is why he felt like a dick about the Jason Todd thing. In the movies it could be the other way around.
I'm just going wild with speculation here. Most likely the Nolan brothers don't want anything to do with Robin, given how realistic they want to keep the whole thing.
This is an interesting observation - good call.Quote:

And it's IMDB.
Two-Face could certainly be living though as I think about it. I just hope they don't go that route.
My idea would be going along the lines of Mad Hatter with a mind-controlling theme or Poison Ivy with some EPA shiz, maybe get one of the creatures involved in that way, Man-Bat being the best. But still, blegh. If Heath were around, sure, Joker. But...
Poison Ivy would make for a terrible villain. Mad Hatter could only work as a secondary villain, seeing as how he never really was anything more than that. Although based off of the old animated series Mad Hatter was really cool, and he would actually fit in somewhat with the current attempts to keep the movies realistic.Quote:

Agreed. He was fairly lame the first time around, let's not go for round two.Quote:

THEN he RELUCTANTLY agrees to train the Robin.
Maybe at the very end of the film...that way, someone else can take over, and completely ruin everything Nolan has created. ;)
EDIT: I would be very ok with Two-Face being in the third.
