Hey, everyone! We're back! With The Dark Knight Rises hitting theaters at midnight tonight, excitement for Batman is high. Here, we present you with more villains that never were:
"I imagine my Riddler not as a meglomaniacal super criminal, but more of a Wikileaks/open-availability-of-information type of guy who becomes fixated on the question of who the Batman is, and who slowly becomes more destructive in his quest to find out.
"I pared down his outfit as dramatically as I felt I could. The paisley of his shirt is meant to echo his traditional Matthe Lesko-esque, covered-in-question-marks getup. The only actual question mark left to him is a lapel pin made from a vintage typewriter key, which I imagine as a gift that someone bought for him on ETSY."
"Penguin: She is a femme fatale with a tech-mask that allows her to go under water (at last we can see a penguin power). She is a 'shoot them all' girl. The cane came from a former penguin. She is married and has two children
"Scarecrow. He wears a tech suit to deal with the fear poison. The helmet has some lights effects. He likes pizza.
"Riddler. He is a long term convict very fond of solving cross words and the like. Due to a drug habit, he has a clocked up brain (more synapses, more speed) and no respect for other people's property or right to live. He moved from Boston to Gotham, he still likes to see the Celtics on TV."
What do you think? Let us know in the comments below, and be sure to check out all of the Batman Movie Villain redesigns we've received so far.
