I was being excited for Matt Reeves The Batman coming next year but I was having a thought, that I think is work talking about. What villains could be put into a sequel? Since there is many opportunities to put many in this new world with the GCPD spin-off as well, and the fact we’re getting a full trilogy, I think this is important since it can be anyone to face against the Batman himself. Like Mr. Freeze, Scarecrow, the Mad Hatter, even Two-Face and the Joker as well. So what do any of you guys think could or even should appear in a sequel?

There are plenty of Batman villains I’d love to see on the big screen for the 1st time or get refreshed cinematic interpretations, but I ultimately think it’s way too early to consider what other villains could work in this new continuity until we actually see the movie. Some villains might not work w/ the tone Reeves is going for, so once we get a full sense of that, we’ll be able to better know which rogues could fit in the GCPD spinoff and a possible sequel

I understand what you’re saying, but I just imagined a lot about villains that could appear in The Batman, with Riddler, Catwoman, Penguin, and Carmine Falcone, with hints of Sal Maroni in an Easter egg in the trailer with that, I think that there’s going to be much more than this film for villains we’ll get. The GCPD show could be a way to put in villains if they’re never going to appear in the films or maybe both instead.
Edit: Reworking these villains could work well, with Riddler (a more flamboyant villain), being depicted as a serial killer leaving riddles at the crime scenes, similar to how the Joker in The Dark Knight is a manipulating anarchist, and how the Penguin in the comics was changed into a mob boss, so I don’t think it’s really far off to do that with other villains in the Rogues Gallery.

Basically all of them make for good detective thrillers like Matt Reeves will be going for.
I also pitch Mad Hatter for a murder msytery as well, where Alice In Wonderland themed murders or/and abductions that happen all over Gotham city.

It’s “Bob the Goon”. Just making sure you know.

I normally call him “Bob, the greatest character ever.”

Well this is supposed to be Earth-2, so that’d only make him the number 2 guy

I guess it depends on how grounded they want to keep these movies.
I think Ventriloquist/Scarface would make for a good villain, perhaps as a rival for The Penguin. The classic could work, though I wonder if the second Scarface, Payton Riley, would be more interesting.
Firefly would work as a lead henchman, though I think rumors are that he’ll be a big villain for the Batgirl movie, so I don’t know if they would use him in multiple continuities.
Hugo Strange would definitely make for a good main villain for a movie. The same could be said for Hush.
Clock King could be a good henchman-style villain. They could do something where they play with time so traps and dangers could happen in real time.

I second the ventriloquist

Cool choice, but I prefer to have more insane villains in the films.
Just like the other one you’ve had, I also would like to mention Clay Face since a shape shifting monster would make it different from the Nolan films, or just have the original serial killer version from the Golden Age.
