Inquisition of the Week: Bat-sequel : Critical Hits

Inquisition of the Week: Bat-sequel

Last week, in preparation for the release of The Dark Knight, we asked which Batman movie was your favorite. The clear winner, with 59%, is Batman Begins, the reimagining with an all-star cast that lead into The Dark Knight. The previous first Batman movie came in second with 20%, and the first animated Batman movie, Mask of the Phantasm, third with 6%.

Since many, many people went out and watched The Dark Knight last weekend (myself included), I thought I’d see where people might think the franchise is headed next. While Batman Begins foreshadowed who would show up in its sequel, (slight spoiler) The Dark Knight merely sets up a new status quo, but one that does suggest that we haven’t seen the last of Bale’s Batman.

So hey, let’s wildly speculate:

Who should appear in the next Batman movie?

• Robin
• Catwoman
• Penguin
• Clayface
• Killer Croc
• Bane
• Hush
• Mad Hatter
• Mr. Freeze
• Poison Ivy
• Riddler
• Superman
• Other: explain in comments

If you want to talk about anything in The Dark Knight that would suggest your choice or choices, just be sure to put a spoiler warning in front of it.
