- Be constructive. As a community this is place for discussion, things you liked, things you didn't like, any everything in between. Low effort comments don't add to the discussion.
- Be civil. Disagreements happen. Don't attack others. Take a moment and reconsider before you post an inflammatory comment in all caps.
- No spam. Please don't post spam, trolling or other low effort content. If you're a human and you saw something interesting or had an interesting thought, you're probably fine.
- Memes are allowed. We're a small community, feel free to post memes or similar content. Funny things are good. If it becomes a problem we can discuss changing the rules.
In addition like any community we follow the Lemmy.World content policy rules. In short, don't attack people or groups.
Spoiler Guidelines
- Be mindful when posting spoilers or spoiler content.
- If you're making a post put "(Spoilers)" at the start of your post.
- If your post is an image mark it as NSFW.
- If you're making a comment use the Lemmy spoilers markdown.
When should something no longer be considered a spoiler? In general use your best judgement. If want something more specific,
- For films, wait until it's been released to streaming for at least a few weeks.
- For TV shows, consider the whole season as a spoiler until the last episode of the season has aired, then wait a few weeks.

Not that many choices left if they are new screen villains.
Some I could think of:
Killer Croc - Probably not a good choice, would need to be working with someone
Clock King - Could be a good villain and fairly open ended character meaning the movie could do what they want with him
Court of Owls - Not sure good as a second movie villain, but could be interesting later on. Would actually be amazing if they built up a series of movies with them pulling all the strings throughout.
Calendarman - Given the more noir style of the last movie, he could be an interesting one, but would probably feel too similar to the Riddler.
We’ve seen Killer Croc though, in Suicide Squad.
Court of owls seems like something build to.
I would bet on Hugo Strange.
From the article,
and Huge figures out who Batman is, so this will require more focus on who is Bruce Wayne.
Also he's only been done on TV (in Gotham), hence the new to film comment.
Plus he fits the grounded universe that's been established.
Strange was also the big baddie in Arkham City, but thats also not film
They could go for one of the really unpopular villains that no one remembers. People like Calendar man or Orca
Wasn’t calendar man in one of the arkham games? That’d actually be a decent choice since people will at least be a little familiar with him.
