The Dark Knight
Summary
A suppositious fourth episode in Christopher Nolan’sDark KnightTrilogy has long been dreamed about by fans , with some interesting potential drop for introduce a new opposer into the gamey universe . Spanning from 2005 to 2012,The Dark Knighttrilogyis wide hail as some of the greatest storytelling in amusing book movie history , particularly the trilogy ’s eponymic second film , The Dark Knight . The more realistic feel , however , always limited the Nolanverse ’s looking at into Batman ’s knave gallery .
With face like Michael Keaton and George Clooney having reprise their roles as Batman in recent years , it ’s not out of the doubt to imagine what afourth Nolanverse Batman filmmight look like . Of the uncommitted baddie the trilogy had n’t used , it ’s unspoilt to steer clear of mutated enemy like Mr. Freeze and Killer Croc whose rootage and appearance may be too antic to gel with the grounded Nolanverse . The best villains for Nolan ’s imagination are those with insidious , yet terrifying gizmo not too far take away from our own reality .
10The Penguin
Oswald Cobblepot could suit the Nolanverse surprisingly well
The classic embodiment of The Penguin , complete with weaponized umbrellas , themed submarines , and literal penguin partner in crime , may be a far cry from the spunky realness of theDark Knighttrilogy . However , the concept of one of Gotham ’s wealthy elite release crimeboss is a narrative perfect for Nolan ’s Gotham , always eager to research how corruption breeds a tight criminal ingredient . The Penguin could be reprsented by the like of a crisply - curry Alan Ford , directing a mob takeover of Gotham with disgraceful ruthlessness .
9The Riddler
Batman’s quizzical villain is perfect for Nolan
As far as prospective villain for a hypothetical fourth Nolanverse movie go , few selection are as much of a layup as The Riddler . The Batmanconclusively demonstrate that the graphic symbol can work in a more naturalistic setting , with Paul Dano ’s twisted take on Edward Nygma supply a paralyzing enhancer to Robert Pattinson ’s Batman . The Dark Knight series in particular would be an excellent home for The Riddler , consideringChristopher Nolan ’s films’penchant for head - engrave narratives likeInception , MementoandTenet . There ’s no interrogative sentence that Nolan could excel with the utilization of a enigma - based villain .
8Professor Pyg
A horror villain in a superhero movie
Unfortunately , the Dark Knight trilogy somewhat wasted Victor Zsasz , a well - known serial killer from the strip who has a habit of recording each of his criminal offense with a ghastly scar on his own consistence . Thankfully , the opportunity to have Batman front off against a slasher adversary is still available with Professor Pyg , a half-crazed scientist who sees his fellow mankind as little more than clean canvass for his blades to shape . avowedly , the presence of his Dollotrons , human - animal crossbreed minion , would need to be junk , but Pyg would be an by all odds terrifying villain befitting of the serial publication ' disconsolate tone .
7Firefly
The high-flying arsonist could be a great side villain
While the more mystical elements of Batman ’s compendium of foes , such as Ra ’s al Ghul ’s Lazarus pits or the extent to which Bane ’s venom transmute his posture , might be off the table for the Nolanverse , the manager has had no problem letting engineering run wild . fire beetle could be the most well - equipped villain Bale ’s Batman has ever faced , using the same hover applied science as The Bat inThe Dark Knight rise . Admittedly , Firefly ’s abject - level criminal antics would n’t make for a compelling essence antagonist , but his destructive firebug impulsion could serve a fourthDark Knightmovie well as a side villain .
6Black Mask
Nolan could present the crime boss better than the DCEU did
The world of unionised criminal offence in Nolan ’s Gotham takes halfway phase compared to most Batman fib , with the seething putrescence of the metropolis being foul enough to pep up Ra ’s al Ghul to destroy it in the first film . formally representing the reprehensible Hell with a villain would be a expert direction for a fourth pic , and Black Mask would be the perfect selection . Nolan could make the disfigured law-breaking boss sincerely terrorise again after Ewan McGregor ’s version of the character was the butt of jokes inBirds of Prey .
5Great White Shark
An underutilized villain that could be the Nolanverse’s ultimate mastermind
Considering how well Nolan was able to represent other Batman villains with prominent facial scarring , like Two - Face and The Joker , lesser - known antagonist Great White Shark could be a prime chance for a 4th Batman picture . A former inmate of Arkham Asylum brutally disfigured by his cellmates after plead insanity to avoid punishment for his crimes , Great White Shark resurfaces as a moneyman of villains . He would do well as the master pulling the string in a new Nolanverse plastic film , using Batman and his other rivals for his own gain .
4Lady Shiva
DC’s deadliest woman in the world could tie off R’as al Ghul’s story nicely
Not stringently a Batman villain , Lady Shiva serves as DC ’s single most brawny female soldierlike creative person . A venomous assassin with skills honed over a lifetime , Lady Shiva could save Nolan as a better version of Talia al Ghul , come back to haunt Bruce through some connection to the League of Shadows . Sometimes an friend in the strip , Lady Shiva could play with loyalty throughout a fourthDark Knightfilm , keeping audiences and Batman himself on their toe .
3Dr. Hugo Strange
Arkham Asylum’s lead physician could give the famous locale some much-needed development
Despite featuring heavily in Batman Begins , Arkham Asylum is n’t fall in much development in the Nolanverse , with few refer inmates and little lasting consequences for theDark KnightTrilogy ’s Gotham as a whole . Dr. Hugo Strange could repair this , haunting Batman with his sure-enough activity by manipulating the many famous inmates of Arkham . Strange ’s own misrepresented psychology and fascination with Batman would be well - placed in the Nolanverse , tying neatly into the serial ' themes of crime , putrefaction , and vigilante judge .
2Hush
Could give Christian Bale’s Batman a proper rival
Borne from the famous 2003 storylineBatman : Hush , a fourth Christopher Nolan film would be the perfect spot to precede Batman ’s dreary reflection . Rather than watching his parents die , Bruce Wayne ’s childhood friend Tommy Elliot off his own for his own addition , deciding to become the murderous vigilante Hush after deduce Batman ’s true identicalness . Hush is a very personal baddie that Nolan could ’ve conform even easily thanthe enliven film , Batman : Hush .
1The Ventriloquist
A dual personality that could’ve been adapted scarily well by Nolan
At first , The Ventriloquist may seem like a strange option for a Nolanverse baddie – There ’s an inbuilt degree of fatuity to a case that bank on a talking dummy as a mouthpiece . But considering the amazing performance Nolan has managed to get out of unlike actors as Batman ’s villains over the years , The Ventriloquist ’s split personality could make for a enthralling part for Nolan to dissect . A fourthDark KnightTrilogy movie could explore the character ’s abusive relationship with his alter ego , while still maintaining the sought - after crime angle the franchise is familiar with .
