The Dark Knight {Spoilers Abound}

I had a dream about a Nolanverse Mr. Freeze. He was basically a blue-skinned Riddick who liked to shove people in freezers and calmly watched as they froze to death.

Also, I spent the past while going through old theories regarding a sequel. Loved the Phantasm idea. Also, to whoever it was that suggested a thrid film built around "order," wouldn't the best villain for such a film be Clock King rather then Riddler? Or maybe Lock-Up?

After awhile wouldn't people just stop hanging around freezers? I mean if people keep getting pushed into freezers and freezing to death, wouldn't someone just be like, "hey, lets hang out on the other side of the street where there isn't this huge freezer that is oddly wide open." I'm just saying.
 
As great as some of these ideas are, I really think Nolan isn't going to bother even going near any of the more sci-fi villains, no matter how interesting their characters are. As great as he is at delving deep into established characters and finding more realistic ways to portray them, he can be a bit blunt in terms of how and why he chooses the characters. I mean, he's flat-out refused to do the Penguin and that's a character who could very easily be a mob boss with a nickname.

Heck, there actually is a mob boss in Dublin called The Penguin.

I'm just saying, if they did a follow-up to Gotham Knight or did a comic book set in the same universe, what would Freeze and Ivy be like.

You're looking for South La Salle Street, a few blocks from where my train arrives during the week.

JEALOUS MUCH?

EDIT: Y'know, I just went to look on Google Maps and I realized how many times I've walked past exactly where they shot that without even remembering it. The comic shop I go to downtown is on Monroe, just off of Michigan Avenue, so I usually walk down that part of La Salle Street on the way back to my train from there.

I think I've said this before but I'd keep the ideas of their stories the same, just not the science behind it. Freeze tries to cure his wife, is interrupted and now can't breathe normal air and has to wear a breathing apparatus (like a gas mask hooked to a tank), basically an extreme case of asthma or something. And he uses liquid nitrogen to seek revenge. And Ivy pretty similar, killing off men behind eco disasters using exotic poisons from plants.

Still, in the Nolanverse, criminals like this would be apprehended and put down so fast there's no room to make them appropriate villains for these types of films. I can't believe he said no to the penguin. When did that happen?

I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up changing his mind. Of all Batman's characters the Penguin would probably fit in to Nolan's world the best. So I really have no idea where he's coming from.

Well, to be fair, there isn't really any way to make him a main villain. He could only really be a supplementary mob boss, like Falcone was. I can't see Nolan adapting Penguin as a gimmicky theatrical villain as he was in his earlier appearances (and the original Animated Series). And I really can't see him relegating such a well-loved villain to a Mr. Zsasz-like cameo.

I wouldn't mind him as a sort of side villain at all. I even think it suits the character better.

Well not really, I mean they only work as a villian of the week. They play into a detective story of solving murders as oppose to city wide threat for movies.

Man this is just one of these things I feel like I've explained a thousand times
