So, with the confirmed news that Christopher Nolan and company will be shooting some stuff in New Orleans, the online community has started rumors about who they think the villain will be. Now, we can also add this bit to the rumor fire: Mark Miller tweeting about how he knows who the villain(s) are in Batman 3.
A few days ago, comics writer Mark Millar tweeted, “Oh, wait. Con gossip: I know who the villain(s) are in Batman 3 and the big scene outside Gotham sounds awesome. Totally timely locale.”
Obviously he didn’t just come out and say it, but can you think of another prominent Batman villain that would fit in so well with a Louisiana location? Millar followed that up with a tweet reading, “One of the villains is from my favourite childhood run on the character. Again, very unexpected.”
Millar would’ve been about 13 when the character of Killer Croc first appeared, so it’s debatable but still totally possible that Croc would fit into that timeframe. Regardless, this rumor really only has Mark Millar to go on, so it comes down to whether or not you believe him. It’s still an interesting possibility though, and one worth discussing.
It is what is is. You believe Millar or not. We’ll know about the villain(s) soon enough. Just a matter of time. What do you think of a Riddler/Killer Croc combo battling Batman? Sounds cool.
If your not familiar with Killer Croc, here’s more info on him thanks to Batman Wiki:
Waylon Jones is a former crocodile wrestler turned into a criminal deformed by a birth defect. He has low intelligence but great strength, as well as crocodilian abilities, such as a keen sense of smell and the ability to hold his breath underwater for long periods of time.
He was born with a medical condition called “Epidermolytic Hyperkeratosis”, it caused him to grow progressively more like a crocodile, hence his name.
