With the DC Extended Universe being created and Ben Affleck's amazing portrayal of Batman in the Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice and Suicide Squad movies, we can't help but feel the hype for his own solo movie. Now that it is confirmed that Ben Affleck will have his own Batman movie in the DC Extended Universe, it would be great to discuss on what villain we would want to appear as the main antagonist in the film. Below is the list of villains I would personally love to see in Ben Affleck's Batman solo film.
5. The Penguin
While not my favourite, I have loved his character in shows such as Gotham and The Batman. He can be very dangerous if he wants to be and a very deadly crime boss. While he is also very power hungry and has a little charisma, he can be a pretty sinister antagonist. That's why I wouldn't mind if he played an antagonist in Batman's solo film.
4. Mr Freeze
Yes. Mr Freeze would be a great villain to have featured as the main antagonist of Ben Affleck's Batman solo film. He is extremely dangerous and quite strong, yet he is also a sympathetic character. We could see more backstory and maybe a happy ending for this guy? I don't know, but to see how Batman deals with Mr Freeze's obsession to save his wife by any means necessary, even it it means killing people to save his wife, would be great.
3. Poison Ivy
Poison Ivy would be a great villain to be featured in the Batman solo film. She is deadly, and also attractive, which is dangerous for the mind of the male. And seeing Gotham turn into a little apocalyptic plant disaster with unbreathable toxic atmosphere that only Batman can stop would be simply cool!
2. The Mad Hatter
Now here is a pretty good example of insanity. He is pretty underrated and the only one in this list who never got a chance to be featured in a live action movie which I would most like to see. The Mad Hatter would be trying to get into Batman's head and using mind control as his main weapon. Using mind controlled zombie citizens to attack Batman, and trying to find the perfect Alice for his project, which is to turn Gotham into Wonderland.
1. The Riddler
Edward Nygma, aka the Riddler, would be a great main antagonist and perfect intellect match for the Dark Knight. We could have a much darker version of the Riddler, one that actually hacks into Gotham's electronics, places bombs everywhere without anybody noticing, kidnapping innocent victims as tokens for the Dark Knight to win through deadly deathtraps, conundrums, puzzles, riddles, etc. To see him actually getting Batman psychologically and bringing out the real detective work in Batman would be perfect, and to see the Riddler discover his secret identity would be cool. Don't get me wrong, Jim Carrey was great as the Riddler, but only a little too lighthearted and more of a comedic villain. A much darker, plus more characteristics from Batman: The Animated Series, The Batman, Gotham and the Batman Arkham series, Riddler would be great for the solo film.
