Robin’s Reckoning

Mad Love
As check inthe terminate ofThe Batman , The Joker not only already be in the Reeves population , but he also has an established history with Batman .

Since Harley Quinn is already set to look inJoker : Folie à Deux , the subsequence to 2019’sJoker , The Batman’siteration of Harleywould need to differentiate her from Lady Gaga ’s translation .
8Scarecrow Would Be A Fitting Foil To Robert Pattinson’s Batman
Nothing To Fear
TheScarecrow would be a perfect convulsion for Reeves’sThe Batmanuniverse . Not only is the Scarecrow ’s signature weapon ( a terror - inducing poison ) relatively believable , buthis compulsion with the psychology of fear makes him a natural foil for Robert Pattinson ’s Batman . Moreover , The Batmansees Batman transition off from solely terrorize Gotham ’s criminal Hades and become a symbolic representation of promise to its citizen . adapt Scarecrow’sAnimated Seriesintroduction , “ Nothing to Fear , ” would allow aThe Batmansequel to precede a new costume malefactor who practice reverence against his enemy ( and the sinless ) , perhaps having been inspired by Batman .

Pretty Poison
standardized to Scarecrow , Poison Ivy can be a comparatively believable character inThe Batman’suniverse , especially if a sequel uses her unveiling installment of theAnimated Series , “ Pretty Poison , ” as stirring . Before the DCAU establish her to have superhuman ability , Pamela Isley was initially portrayed as only a brilliant botanist and toxicologist who on the QT used her skills as the villainous eco - terrorist Poison Ivy .

6The Batman Sequels Could Create A Grounded Iteration of Clayface
Feat Of Clay
WithClayface rumored to be an antagonist inThe Batman Part II , a lifelike beginning of breathing in for its floor would be “ Feat of Clay ” part 1 and 2 . That state , theAnimated Seriesversion of Clayface , who is a super strong , shapeshifting , metahuman , would be a loss from the grounded worldly concern depicted inThe Batman . Of course , infix a metahuman to an otherwise realistic version of Gotham would challenge viewing audience and Pattinson ’s reading of Batman , who would be await a more schematic outlaw . With this in mind , Clayface could also be depicted similarly to his initial Golden Age comics appearance , in which he is an worker who simply uses disguises .
5The Batman Universe Can Make A Truly Terrifying Mad Hatter
Mad As A Hatter

Jervis Tetch is adept at hold mind , with some interpretations ready him a master hypnotist , while others have him project advanced mind - controlling technology . A sequel toThe Batmancould make Tetch an expert in one or both of these fields , turning innocent Gotham citizens into his pawns , and having him attempt to take ascendancy of Batman ’s mind .

Make ‘Em Laugh
In theBatman Animated Seriesepisode “ Make ‘ Em Laugh , ” The Joker steal sick Hatter ’s mind control engineering and use it on famous comic , turn them into super outlaw and put their calling and lives in danger . The Condiment King – one of the episode ’s fake scoundrel – was jokingly suggested by Matt Reeves asa likely villain forThe Batman Part II , but the fictitious character could work terrifyingly well . Assuming that the unhinged Hatter is already established inThe Batman’suniverse , a sequel could have The Joker steal Tetch ’s devices or coerce him to use his manipulative abilities on ordinary citizens , result in “ crook ” like the Condiment King .
3A Sequel To The Batman Could Give Hugo Strange His Cinematic Debut
The Strange Secret Of Bruce Wayne
An as such - grounded Batman villain that would be a stark fit forThe Batman’suniverse is Hugo Strange . The sinister and corrupt prof is more than an rational threat to Batman , as he is also famous for knowing that he is Bruce Wayne . In hisAnimated Seriesdebut , “ The Strange Secret Of Bruce Wayne , ” Strange not only discovers that Bruce Wayne is Batman , but also plans to auction the selective information to Gotham ’s underworld . This high - stakes storyline would easily knead in a subsequence toThe Batman , peculiarly with future films and television show further exploring the felonious netherworld of Matt Reeves ’s Gotham City .
2Killer Croc Could Become A Major Threat To Pattinson’s Batman
Vendetta
While Killer Croc is often portrayed as a monolithic and extremely strong metahuman , it would be rather simple to keep him comparatively ground in reality in a sequel toThe Batman .

Croc ’s debut in theBatman Animated Series , “ Vendetta , ” also project him methodically attempt to exact revenge on the Gotham police officeholder Harvey Bullock . A naturalistic translation of Killer Croc with a vengeful scheme would be an excellent storyline for the Matt ReevesBatmanuniverse .
1The Batman 3 Could Make The Penguin A Tragic Criminal
Birds Of A Feather
The Penguin was already introduced to the Matt Reeves universe inThe Batmanand will asterisk in the forthcoming TV seriesThe Penguin . With Colin Farrell ’s version of The Penguin have a big function inThe Batman Part IIin addition to his own video serial and the firstThe Batmanfilm , another subsequence could have Oswald Cobblepot attempt to put his vicious past behind him like hisBatman Animated Seriescounterpart in “ chick of a Feather . ” The vivify episode , tragically , had Cobblepot lapsing into villainy by the end , but perhaps a future installment inThe Batmanfranchise could take a different approach , giving Cobblepot a genuine redemption arc .
