Batman Returns with The Dark Knight which is the new 2008 batman movie, Batman: The Dark Knight is the sequel movie to the 2005 release Batman Begins which starred Christian Bale. The new movie which has a release date of July 18th 2008 in the United States and July 25th in the UK will feature many baddies.
The Dark Knight seems to be getting a little too overcrowded which some of you will love or some of you will hate, the reason it is so overcrowded is because there are going to be many villains such as The Riddler, the Joker, the Scarecrow and even Two-Face, is this too many villains; who knows only by watching the movie will tell all.
It was said that David Banner actually auditioned for the role as Gamble who is a crime lord attempting to gain power but in fact Michael Jai White was cast instead, you can read the Michael Jai White to play Gamble which says it all.
Are all these villains in one entire script, I am hoping these rumors are not true or hopefully all of these villains are getting cameo roles because I cannot see with all these bad guys each individual bad guy would get a good top rated storyline, it just seems too many in one movie.

• Christian Bale plays Batman

If you’re going to write about this movie, please get your facts straight and don’t jump to conclusions.
The Joker is the main villain that will have the biggest role in the film. Scarecrow will appear in the beginning simply because he was loose at the end of the film, and will probably be killed off or taken back to Arkham. The script sets the story up for a third, which means we will probably get a brief glimpse of Two-Face like we got the “Joker calling card” at the end of Begins.
I think the movie will be based off of Batman: The Long Halloween. The Joker and Harvey will have key roles in the film. The crime lords will be either captured by Batman or killed by The Joker. Also, either the latter or Sal Maroni will cause Harvey to become Two-Face. If there are any other villains appearing in the film, they may have a cameo appearence in the movie, leading to preparation for the third movie.
