In light of Director Christopher Nolan's recent casting/villain announcement for the next Batman movie, I think there may be a few villains he's overlooking. Here are my top 5 Batman villains I think he should consider:
5. Maxie Zeus: Maximillian "Maxie" Zeus, a former history teacher, became a mob boss with an obsession for Greek Mythology. He obviously had a god complex and enjoyed emulating the Greek god Zeus through the use of electricty and an epic beard.
The Perfect Cast? Gerard Butler. He's sported the look before.
4. Cavalier: Mortimer Drake had a distinct love of valuables and, when he realized he was unable to purchase said exotics, he turned to thievery. He is a master swordsman and dresses up like a musketeer.
The Perfect Cast? Mel Gibson. Bring in an older villain to try and best the Caped Crusader. And Gibson's off screen antics could parallel the character's craziness nicely.
3. Cesar Romero as The Joker: I know, I know, Nolan has said the Joker won't be back in his trilogy. I also know you're thinking one of two things. Either A)isn't Romero dead?, or B) the Joker doesn't have a mustache. Well, Romero, who played the Joker in the campy television series from the 60's, is famous for not shaving underneath the clown makeup.
The Perfect Cast? Either a computer-resurrected Romero . . . or this Lady.
2. Egghead: I'll let Wiki do the talking--"Egghead is a fictional character created for the 1960s Batman television series. Played by horror film mainstay Vincent Price, the character was identifiable by his pale bald head and white and yellow suit. He believes himself to be "the world's smartest criminal," and his crimes usually have an egg-motif to them as well as including egg puns in his speech where appropriate ('egg-zactly', 'egg-cellent', etc.) Additionally, he would use a wide assortment of egg-shaped weapons, such as laughing gas eggs and tear gas eggs (laid by chickens on a diet of onions)."
The Perfect Cast? Bill Hader. Merely shave his head; he already does a mean Vincent Price.
1. Crazy Quilt: Easily a great match for Batman, Paul Dekker is a famous painter and master criminal, leaving clues inside his paintings. When a gunshot wound blinds him and causes his capture, he volunteers for an experiment to restore his vision. The result is a nifty, mind-controlling helmet attached to his brain. The result of the procedure is his sight, along with the adverse side effect of seeing everything in vivid colors--think "Speed Racer" on 3D Blu-ray. His new vision drives him insane enough to use his helmet for evil.
The Perfect Cast? Nick Nolte. Just slap a pencil 'stache on him, and he's good to go.
