Jack ‘The King’ Black should be the penguin. He has the look, he has the potential style and has the greatness to pull of such a well known character. Go on jack!

This is James Gilks (owner of SerialKillerCalendar.com) personally I would love it if they took the idea of the Riddler to a very dark extreme. His character is very close to real life serial killers like David Berkowitz (the son of sam) and the Zodiac Killer. Many serial killers (including Jack The Ripper and The Red Spider) have sent letters to the police and the Zodiac killer sent cryptograms (which where in essence a type of riddle). I think that if Hollywood is willing to take these films to the gritty dark side of real life, they should focus more on this angel and abandon the tacky jump suit wearing, cartoon aspect that Jim Carey brought to the screen. I would love to see a down right evil and twisted serial killer side to the Riddler.

I also believe that they are setting up The Mad Hatter for a future movie. If you watch carefully, Batman says that the man Dent is interrogating in The Dark Knight (the creepy smiling guy from the ambulance) is named “Jervis Tetch”. This is The Mad Hatter.

Lastly, I would love to see all these films come together in to a plot that involves Arkham Asylum. There have been many amazing graphic novels that focus on this (especially “A Serious Place on Serious Earth”). This would be a perfect opportunity for the writers to place Batman against not only a huge cast of badies but also against his own troubled mind.)

Well, thats just the opinion of someone who runs a company devoted to selling serial killer merchandise so you can take it or leave it. I hope you can all stop by SerialKillerCalendar.com to pick up some morbid merch (including the new Serial Killer Magazine, Serial Killer Trading Cards and Serial Killer Action Figures. I know, its a shameless display of self promotion but really, I have to justify reading up on Batman Movies while I am supposed to be working somehow.

Oh and Depp is like the worst choice for the Riddler. I don’t want him Nolan’s batman films at all or Jim Carey

David Tennant would be way better as The Riddler, if you don’t know who he is, look up Doctor Who or Harry Potter 4.
And Jack Black should play as the Penguin.

I dont care about the riddler or penguin just as long as catwoman is in it, somebody tell Nolan that he should have a strong part for a woman in at least one of his movies (my pick is Rosario Dawson)

Begins and DK have some lovely elements and ultimately it would be wonderful to see a city ravaged by chaos and these films provide an introduction to the Dark Knight Returns by Frank Miller. I feel if we discuss villians like the riddler et al then this is a step backward. A starting scene in the next film with a 60 year old man racing a motorbike and finishing with the triumph over Superman would be exciting, refreshing and finally put this character into the Sin City type genre it should always have aspired to. The material has always been there but he damage to the Superman bandwagon is what is preventing this milestone. Wishful thinking pehaps but anything less will be milking the audience. Special effects are easy. Give us plotlines!
