So continuing on from my previous post about a potential Nightwing or Robin movie in the works, I was thinking who would be the main villain in this film or film series? In this post i have come up with a list of potential suspects who could fill the role and pull of another great movie.
The Scarecrow
A villain that had appeared in all of the Dark Knight trilogy. He has cemented himself as being a pain in the ass for Gotham city over the years. In theory he could have another massive attack on Gotham City or Bludhaven turning everyone insane from fear and ,lets just say Nightwing, swoops in, beats the crap out of him and saves the day by coming up with an antidote from using the old Batcave. Jonathan Crane is also a master of psychology as well as fear so that could play a major part in his fight against Nightwing, psychologically bullying him, forcing Night wing to make a mistake.
Black Mask
Roman Sinosis is a big time player in the comics as his alter ego Black Mask. This would be a more suitable choice if the writers and directors wanted to bring in a new villain for the new superhero to face. Black Mask doesn't have any special powers other than the fact that he is smart so by choosing him to be the main protagonist in the film would keep the realistic feel that the Dark Knight film had. The way that this could play out is that Black Mask could be running a major gang throughout Gotham or Bludhaven, controlling the crime underworld. As Nightwing steps in as he attempts to rid the city of crime, Black Mask could go on a personal vendetta against him in an attempt to regain his control of the underworld. Black Mask could kill a number of cops to try and draw out Nightwing ( Blake would feel personally involved since he was a police officer as well)
The Riddler
Edward Nigma would be a perfect villain for any Batman related film so he would provide a great role in any Nightwing film. His genius as well as his obsession of riddles would play the perfect mind game against Nightwing. Figuring out who Nightwing truely wasand he could target people close to him, taking the hostage. Whilst trying to fight the crime underworld Nightwing would have to be faced with attempting to save the people of who he cared about. There is a chance that The Riddler wouldn't be the villain simply because he is a well known enemy of Batman, not Nightwing. Introducing someone like The Riddler to a kind of new franchise may confuse people who are not much of a follower of the comic series or those who do not know much about Batman outside of the films. It is a lot more likely that the other two mentioned before hand would be the main villain in the film but a cameo from Edward wouldn't go a miss right?
Deathstroke
A brand new villain could enter the mix who hasn't got much to do with Batman as he does with Nightwing. A master assassin, Deathstroke is the most deadly man in the DC universe, even though he is blind in one eye. His costume could be rendered to have a more realistic feel to it as opposed to the morph-suit type thing that he wears in the comics. Deathstroke is also a known villain to Nightwing as well as the rest of the Teen Titans To enter his story into the film there could be a number of assassinations which Nightwing is investigating. Beating up people as he goes it is revealed to be Deathstroke (who you get glimpses of throughout the film)
Honourable Mentions
The Ventriloquist- Schizophrenic enemy controlled by his puppet Scarface. Probably not well known enough to play the main villain in the film. Maybe a cameo like Victor Zsasz had in Batman Begins might do though
Two Face- Obviously Harvey Dent died in Dark Knight but how cool would it be if Two face controlled the remains of Gotham after the events of The Dark Knight Rises. Maybe he would get a mention as well in the film like what Bane does in the latest Batman Movie.
Firefly-Not the most well known of villains compared to some of the ones that I have mentioned but still could be a very dangerous person for Nightwing to face. http://www.rapsheet.co.uk also report that Firefly is actually an employee of Black Mask so he may be involved as like a secondary support villain.
