2. I assume you're talking about Vicki Vale?

3. Yes, I'm talking about Vicki Vale.

4. New villain should be the original villain for dark knight....Black Mask...

I think he will fit in perfectly in with Nolan's Gotham..

5. This is a fantastic poster. While both the Riddler and the Joker are grade A psychopaths (especially in Nolan's world), I think the idea of a "behind the scenes" criminal, one less intent on being flashy than the Joker, could really make a great villain and a riveting story.
Here's what I am thinking:
At the end of the first movie, they announced the villain in the second with Gordon handing the Joker card to Batman.
I think they did the same thing at the end of the second movie, just in a less obvious way -- there isn't a "villain" in the third movie, since it will revolve around Batman as the menace. The villain will have to be in the Zodiac mold, and his ambition is simply to trap and out Batman.
Too obvious? Probably. But they didn't exactly make the Joker a secret :)
Look forward to seeing TDK again, and hope that a third movie materializes that matches it in grit and engagement.

6. Can you imagine the viral marketing with character like the Riddler?

Staggers the mind.

And wasn't Vicki Vale a photojournalist? Why would she be writing for... oh, wait, wait, that's right, it's only a movie, it's only movie.

7. I can see The Riddler in the Nolanverse if he operates like a terrorist, sending riddles about places he's going to bomb. Not being as much of a prescence as Joker was.

Although, I'd prefer either Black Mask as the next villain or I say, bring in Phantasm, from the Mask of the Phantasm animated movie. She'd bring a needed female character, cool villain, and a love interest. I'd rather see her than Catwoman.

8. The poster's pretty well done. I like the symbols and code on the hand and paper. I'm not a fan of the big question mark, though. It doesn't feel like it's part of the poster.

Very interesting idea, though.

9. I think the next film should be called "The Caped Crusader".

10. It's really impossible to think of any other villain than The Riddler for part 3. He fits the profile of the series just fine, any other would be too unknown or not dark enough. I love this poster and I am such a junkie, part of me wants it to be real, the other wants to take a rest. Truth is, it will come up at parties and discussions for at least a year before the viral campaign gives us that same ? sign and we all go insane.

11. I see no reason the Riddler could not be in the next Batman movie. I my self would like to see some one new though seeing as the Riddler was already in a movie before. But at least he would be different this time around. Also the Joker and the Riddler do not seem like the same people because they aren't. May be to some people they would seem to much of the same but if you read the comics you know different.

I also agree with what some other posters have said about Black mask. I also would add in Deadshot or Hush.

Another thing you could do is from the Batman: Animated series and bring in Batwoman which is really three different people. In the show she goes to kill Penguin, and crime bosses Rupert Thorne and Carlton Duquesne.

You could change it up for the movie and in the end people would think she killed the people so Batman gets back in on the good side of people in Gotham.

Though what ever happens all I can do is hope it is as good as the Dark Knight if not better.

12. Looks cool, though it reminds me to much of the joker's posters.
I think they'll make the Riddler a more classy villian not a crazy psycho like joker.

13. God, part of me really wishes this was real. Oh well, I still have TDK to enjoy in theaters. Amazingly well-done poster.

14. Paul Giammati as the Penguin.

15. if you hadn't said this was fan made, i would've been convinced its the real thing. really good, and i think it would fit in well except i'm not too sure about vale

and we can expect this to live up to the dark knight, i trust mr.nolan

16. Bane seems to be the only real choice in the hard-grit universe of Nolan.

17. actually when I first saw the picture, I didnt realise that it was it was a question mark drawn on the picture, instead I thought it was some huge wings drawn over the batman picture, and that of course reminded me of: MAN-BAT!

I think he would work as a nice charecter for the movie and as a nice way to "clean up" batman, so he can be a hero again

18. For the third installment to the Nolan Batman series, in my opinion, I believe they should throw in the Riddler as Johnny Depp and throw in the Penguin (whom I'm really not fond of ) as Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
