Morgan Freeman: There Could Be More Than One Batman 3 Villain!

Morgan Freeman mentions The Riddler, The Penguin and Catwoman while discussing possible Batman 3 villains.

In a recent MTV interview Morgan freeman discussed the possibility of The Riddler, Penguin and Catwoman showing up in Batman 3. He also mentions that it is possible we will see more than one villain in the film.

On wether he had doubts about Christopher Nolan doing a 3rd Batman installment...

There was never any doubt in anybody's mind after 'Dark Knight' hit the streets. We know Warner Brothers would say 'Whatever! What do you want? As long as you give us a third.'"

On the timetable for the film...

"No I don't really know anything at all. I've heard what you've heard. Spring."

On which actress he had in mind when he previously hinted at Catwoman..

"Well, yes and no. But I don't know if that [villain] is going to be [Nolan's] choice. There's been talk of the Riddler, the Joker — I don't mean the Joker — the Penguin. Phillip Seymour Hoffman as the Penguin, and that sounds interesting to me."

"So we'll wait and see. And there just may be more than one."


Hawksblueyes: I don't know about you but this sounds interesting. You can never tell when Freeman is pulling your leg or really giving you a piece of information that's usable.

i rather these characters

- Black Mask
- Deadshot
- Talia al Ghul

Nah he really doesn't know anything. He's brining up that Hoffman rumor from over a year ago! Its already been debunked. I think Nolan is genuinely THAT secretive!

killer croc and bane.

I think Nolan is so freakin secretive that even he doesn't know who the villain is!!!

I like the Deathstroke, but i deff agree it should be a character like that something we haven't seen before on film (live action film)

I like the way you think jazzman.

To me, the only one that can be a solo villain is Bane (obviously not the garbage Bane we previsouly saw). Otherwise, I don't want a whole movie around Killer Croc. TDK was great b/c people who didn't give a damn about CMBs bought in b/c it came off as a crime thriller that just happened to be centered around a superhero. I've heard many older adults say something like that. You gotta have someone people can buy into. I think the Riddler, Black Mask or the Penguin as a type of mob boss with a hired gun like Deadshot assisting would be cool and able to cross over to the borderline CMB fanatics.

I'd love Catwoman as a devious femme fatale schemer rather than being just a thief/eye candy/requisite love interest.

Runefyst - 10/6/2010, 3:12 PM
Give me Killer Croc, Bane, or Clayface.

It'd be nice to see someone Batman couldn't beat hand to hand.

bring em all on. nolan will make sure it aint cheesy.
HelaGood
HelaGood - 10/6/2010, 3:15 PM
bane would be cool also.
and i agree... even though i love catwoman, it would be nice to see something NEW as far as characters go... now that the joker is done and out of the way, show us something new! not the same old rewind, revisted crap with penguin/riddler/catwoman...

same with the reboot of spider-man... bring on the lizard or the vulture... someone we havent seen yet.

Not to be a dick, but doesn't it kinda go without saying the Nolan's Bat-films would continue to have more than one villain?

1.thor

I like the idea as the Riddler as his main opponent with The Penguin running the Iceberg Club and all the misdeeds that go on there as a sub plot. Do they have to connect the villians? I kind of hate that. It's not like the justice league... they aren't all super best friends.

Catwoman would also be a terrific sub plot. Not Talia though... as a fan I would love it, but non-nerd movie goers may not get it.

I would love to see Bane, Clayface, Hush, or Killer Croc. It would be cool to have Catwomen on the side more as a possible love interest.

I think Riddler will be a good villian. Maybe Even a returning Ra's and his daughter.

Everybody that says killer croc bane clayface. I dont Think Nolan will want to do that because hes wants a more realistic genre. Thats why for the joker he didnt make him fall into the chemical he just wore make up. Nolan said he doesnt want to you alot of cgi in the batman films

My choices:
Monica Bellucci or Marion Cotillard is TALIA AL GHUL:
(She comes to Gotham to revenge her fathers death and finish his job. Teams up with the mob boss called The Penguin)

Javier Bardem is BANE:
(A Sosiopathic Contract Killer who is searching for perfect challenge and becomes obsessed with Batman)

Bob Hoskins or Phillip Seymour Hoffman is OSWALD C. COBBLEPOT / THE PENGUIN: (Ugly and sadistic mob boss who deals guns and drugs and has obssession with birds. Hires Bane to kill Batman so this dont ruin his business with the mysterious rich woman Talia Al Ghul. Just give him fricking pale skin, dark hair and scary eyes and he would be perfect)

Aaron Eckhart is TWO-FACE: (Dent didnt die and is in safe somewhere so Maroni´s or The Joker´s men doesnt find him. But he escapes and starts the real chaos in Gotham)

Tom Hardy, Tom Hiddleston or Johnny Depp is EDWARD NIGMA / THE RIDDLER: (Mad genius who starts to blowing lots of bombs in Gotham, because he has something against Wayne)

or THE JOKER come back! (Tom Hardy or Johnny Depp as The Joker)

SIDE VILLAINS:
Rupert Thorne
Dr. Hugo Strange

@ intruder

i got no problem with catwoman,penguin or the riddler.

i just think we've seen them a million times already from the 60s tv show,movies & animated tv versions.

time for a change.
jazzman
jazzman - 10/6/2010, 4:16 PM
@AlexDeLarge666

if u have the Penguin u need to add Ray Winstone in the hit list ;)

marvel72
marvel72 - 10/6/2010, 4:24 PM

yeah,but you gotta love the joker i wished he could be in this one.

maybe the best villain ever.

I would like to see clayface, but as a few others pointed out that is kinda unrealstic. but the ventrilquist isnt that far from being a realstic possibility. jus another patient from the asylum. I would though like to see it open with police surronding a building with hostages inside. maybe a movie theatre full of school kids. harley quinn is in front yelling at them to sit down and shut up when Batman drops from the ceiling, with a huge Bat shadow showing behind him on the screen. the childern start pointing behind Harley. as she turns around Batman knocks her out then Bat cuffs her and tells the childern to run for the exit as he leaves the way he entered. the police rush in to find Harley on the ground unconscious with a pair of Bat cuffs on.

I love Nolan's movies, but when he's done [frick] realism I wanna see Killer Croc and Mr. Freeze. Needless to say World's Finest also.

jazz@ Yeah definitely!:D... Thats one fricking mad motherf*cker!:D

I definitely want The Penguin to be scary, furious and ugly english bastard, who trows people in the mincer if they f*ck up in their job!!:D (Do you see the irony in this? The Penguin comes from the rich aristocratic family, but he cant control his insane behavior! THAT WOULD BE SICK!:D)
Batman needs a furious villain and The Penguin is the right choice! They should still make him cunning as the devil itself!

It would be awesome to see The Penguin, Talia Al Ghul and Bane team up!:D

Bob Hoskins, Ray Winstone, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Danny Huston or Alfred Molina as The Penguin. They would all be crazy in this role!:D... Specially Hoskins, Winstone, Huston and Molina!
