Thoughts on Black Mask being chosen as the main villain in the next bat flick?

red hood making a appearance also?

Sionis is a guy from a rich family who wears the death mask from his family's crypt over his face.

Gives him a nice dark parallel to Bruce.

Yeah I don't care about the stupid brain damage evil baby origin, he's basically the original Hush.

Mite be cool, could be an indication that they're branching out to the other rogues. I'm tired of Joker.

this, thank god.

It was me all along, bats

I'd rather have Killer Moth

>implying this won't be joker under the mask

Arkham Origins: The Motion Picture?

This is news to me. Source?

>implying it wont be hush disgusted as the joker

I would be really happy if he was. Batman has the best rogue gallery but people are hellbent on focusing on a select few.

Where's your source OP?

If done properly, having Black Mask as a crime lord who hires villains to eliminate Batman would be a nice change of pace.

>Movie begins with Batman and Killer Croc fighting on the Gotham docks
>Croc states that Batman has a bounty on his head.
>Various villains ambush Batman during the movie.
>Batman discovers that Black Mask is the crime lord through interrogation of the Riddler or Penguin.
>Last section of the movie ends with Batman confronting Black Mask. Joker (Leto will be forced in the movie) appears and only wants to cause chaos. Claim the bounty and eliminate Black Mask to take control.
>During the battle, Batman discovers that Black Mask is Sionis. Joker appears to kill Black Mask with a dangerous weapon/MacGuffin.
>Aftercredit scene where Black Mask is shown alive and the mask has been fused to his face thanks to MacGuffin.

There, basic Batman movie plot.

I'd prefer Great White Shark or Ventriloquist. Black Mask sucks.

>Great White Shark
Could be good as a crime lord. Menacing and unique look that movie-goers would orgasm over.

>Ventriloquist
Ha Ha Ha, that's a stupid idea. It wouldn't work with Batfleck. It would have worked nicely with the original Batman 90's movies.

>Black Mask sucks.
Why? He is just as good as Great White Shark or lame Ventriloquist.

>black mask finally a villain in a batman movie
>it's the dceu batman movie

fucking monkey's paw

>flick
I think you mean film? Snyder doesn't direct flicks

OP is just writing his fan fiction. Ben Affleck and Johns confirmed their Batman solo movie will feature many villains from his rogue gallery.

If that's true, that's fine because Black Mask is a practical villain easy to do, which means harder to screw up. We have to give them something easy this time. Just a dude in a black skull mask who's an Italian mobster. It's not that hard.

Pssshhh I wish they'd do Deathstroke but if he appears in a bat film they won't use him in other stuff so it's okay.

I hope they do a noir themed Batman, but with the crazy villains. I hope they do a gangster penguin, and get it right this time.

>implying he won't end up being clayface

Ya know, for reasons I can't explain, I don't hate Killer Moth. Everything about him is cheesy as hell, but I like the pyro, moths to a flame, can't save himself thing I suppose. I enjoyed him a lot in his brief Knighfall appearance pre-bat break.

Tl;dr - I'm okay with this

I'd fucking love to see another movie with Batman just fucking mob-busting.

first movie will be a prequel where Jason dies
second movie will be under the red hood
third movie who knows

...

Just have a good, sexy, and horrifying non-femme-fatale Poison Ivy please!

OP wrote about different villains.
Croc, Riddler, Joker, Black Mask.

Can someone succintly explain why this guy has fans?

...

Black Mask is boring and lame desu.

And a bat flick would use a better known villain.

He doesn't direct films either. He directs a series of music videos Then poorly edits them together

He's not outlandish, basic as the rogues go.
Not so succinctly, he's a mob boss with enuff connections to make life difficult, but not 1v1 with bats. His aesthetic is kill as all Hell to boot. Just one man's opinion.

>inb4 blackface

Honestly for me black mask seems kinda boring. I'd love him as an element and maybe a red herring or manipulated party. Honestly I just want a good riddler story. Something where you think he's a chump but It turns out he's pulling the strings.

This

he makes a better catwoman villain

have you read zero year? its a fucking solid riddler story

!!! My edit! I'm always so surprised when I see it used.

I can agree to this, I'd like to see Black Mask in the spotlight for once (and I do mean black mask, not the joker pretending to be him) but he isn't interesting enough to be the main antagonist. I'd really like to see a movie where Riddler or someone else plays both Batman and Black Mask like a fiddle.

I don't know how to do a Riddler story that isn't just a Joker story with riddles.

the thing is with riddler is that he's supposed to be the intellectual match to batman almost exclusively in that category. while joker is more of a catch-all, riddler is/should be used for very specific stories focused on outwitting batman and challenging him. He's the guy who's like "ok so everyone here has tested you as a dark knight, i'm going to test you as a detective" and his schemes get more elaborate to push batman to his mental limits. His ultimate goal should be to completely outwit batman intellectually, for the stimulation that challenge provides, and the only way to do so is putting Gotham in harm's way.

I like the core idea of this being done right on film. Push it as a Who Dun It? Instead of Scrate action.. Jus dunno if that could sell to any casual fans that WB has created over the last 10 years

i said earlier that zero year the comic is like a perfect riddler story because the mystery is "where and how do I find the Riddler" and it has a mix of detectivework and straight up action. Riddler is posited as an actual threat who floods gotham and turns it into an overgrown wasteland where he controls everything technological

Which volumes specifically? Or is there a TPB that encapsulates riddlers story as a whole? Wouldn't mind check-in this arc out.

i believe its batman volume 4 secret city and batman volume five dark city
they split it up really weird in the trades

How does Black Mask eat?

Preciate ya

Here, have a fan art picture of Cell for your troubles

You mean NOT RED SKULL?

Seriously?

Of all the villains available, they picked Red Sku- I MEAN Black Mask?

Pic related maybe? I know that's not how it is in the comics ut it could work. The maske still gets burned onto his face, but his boys remove psrts of it to the best of their ability so he can still function

>flick

Fucking kill yourself

Black MAsk is easily one of the dullest Batman villains. I have no idea what people see in him. He stole Red Skull's look and has the personality/shtick of a generic violent mob boss. There's nothing interesting about him.

...

>He stole Red Skull's look
Why do you all say this? Did you know that skulls weren't invented as a concept with Red Skull?

I never thought of it.

Capekino will never unironically be a thing.

aw, i'm proud of you, user.

>He never watched the Toxic Avenger

How do you mean? I know pirate flags had depictions of skulls, but surely no living man ever wore one for a face.

I love it, man. Great shadows.
