My Top 5 Characters I Want to See in The Batman 2 or 3
Recently Matt Reeves has confirmed that weâll be getting a sequel to The Batman starring Robert Pattinson returning to play the main role. I myself am excited about this, I love the movie so much! Next to Tim Burtonâs 1989 film, Reevesâs 2022 adaption is quite possibly my new favourite version of the Batman.
 Now thereâs one question that everyoneâs been wondering, whatâs next for Reevesâs Batman and which rogues gallery members will he face in the sequel?
 So here are my top five characters I want to see in the Batman 2 or 3. (Note: Iâm excluding already previous shown characters such as Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman and Joker).
 Following the ending of the film, Gothamâs main corrupt figures the mayor, police commissioner, DA and Carmine Falcone have all been killed by Riddler. With the new honest Mayor Bella Real things are likely to get better in the foreseeable future. However, there will also likely be a power struggle and a rise of crime.
 This would be the prefect to introduce Gotham to itâs newest DA Harvey Dent. Iâm not sure if the relationship between Bruce and Harvey will be the same as in the comics or other films, but his role in aiding Batman could help further develop Pattinsonâs character.
 Now I donât think he should start off as Two Face in the second film, but perhaps near the end of the second one his initial âaccidentâ takes place and continues off into the third film with Harvey becoming Two Face. Having Harvey start as an ally to Batman and end with him as his nemesis.
 Reeves version of Batman takes a more grounded and realistic take on the more fantasy-based characters. Which makes things slightly limited when comes to introducing Batmanâs other rouges. But thatâs not to say it canât be done.
 Killer Croc is one character who could work well and hereâs why. We know Croc is man born with a mutation that gives him the scaly appearance of a crocodile. Iâve looked it up and there is in fact a real skin condition where someone can grow scales called Ichthyosis.
 Perhaps this version of the character could be someone who suffers from an extreme case of Ichthyosis. Not to mention now that Gotham City is flooded, it would make sense in a way, itâd be a good time for him to surface. Like a crocodile in water, get it?
 If someone like Matt Reeves can make the Riddler terrifying, imagine what he can do with the Mad Hatter. Being one of the lesser-known Batman villains Reeves could probably reintroduce this character to the big screen in a new unique way.
 For those who arenât familiar with him, the Mad Hatter is a man who believes himself to be the fictional character of the same name from Aliceâs Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll. This concept alone could work well perfectly for a possible sequel appearance.
 An example being that Mad Hatter could be a serial predator who kidnaps young girls âAlicesâ and forces them to take part in his twisted tea parties. With Batman having to do detective work solving clues related to Lewis Carrollâs works in order to find him.
 Apart from the Dark Knight trilogy, Scarecrow hasnât been given much screen time as a main villain in any Batman related media. The horror aspect of the first film could follow on well into the two sequels. Especially if Scarecrow the master of fear were to be introduced.
 In The Batman, there is a drug epidemic going on in Gotham called Drops. These eyedrop based drugs were disturbed previously by Salvatore Maroni before Falcone took over prior the events of the film. With Falcone gone it could usher in Scarecrow with his own fear inducing drugs.
 At the end of the first film, Batman learns to be a symbol of hope and not fear. This would be a good chance to have Batman face someone who uses fear and challenge his new hope symbolism. Not to mention Batman being caught in a Freddy Kreuger style nightmare drug hallucination scene would really be cool.
 The most likely villain to appear in The Batman 2 (from what weâve heard so far) is Mr Freeze. Now Iâm not sure how theyâre going to do Mr Freeze in a realistic grounded way, but Matt Reeves seems sure he can find a way to portray this character to work in the sequel.
 Mr Freeze is a very tragic character, he tries to save his wife Nora from dying from a terminal illness by committing crime. If you havenât seen Hearts of Ice from Batman, The Animated Series I suggest watching it and youâll see what I mean.
 Reevesâs Batman focuses on the tragedy based around the characters and how it can effect a person. Having Batman facing Freeze be a great way to establish character development for both of them. A live action version of Hearts of Ice is definitely something I would love to see.
So thatâs my top five characters I want to see in the Batman 2 or 3. Let me know whatâre yours and why?
