It seems to be something Crane would use on patients to torture them psychologically as he watches and takes notes. Crane’s drug of choice would not be something ppl would buy willingly. Drops seem to be a drug that numbs the pain. In what way though? Only way I can see it is if one of them takes the drops and completely reinvents the recipe to have the polar opposite effect. There's a reason the character so far has had no memorable storylines whatsoever aside from two 22 minute episodes, and there's a reason why the one movie that was done about him in animation was largely forgotten as well. His scope is waaay too small to sustain an event film. I'd love to have him in the Arkham series, or maybe do a spin-off movie about him that shows how he fell in love with Nora and how that all came about, or maybe he could even be great as a secondary villain.īut he's not main villain material. Would it be great to see Freeze somehow in this world? Sure. It'd be the exact same thing as the first movie. The only way that even comes to my mind to do a grounded take on Freeze is making him a serial killer type that freezes corrupt business people involved in Gothcorp trying to expose them and-ooops, that's exactly what Riddler did. Unless you were doing a super fantastical take on Freeze like the Sub-Zero movie, which Reeves DEFINITELY won't do (the "he can freeze the flooded water" ideas are dumb as hell, sorry) there's nothing about his character or the challenges he poses to Batman that are compelling for an entire 2 hour and a half movie. The most I've seen is suggestions that maybe he could tie into Penguin in some way but that's about it. In every single pitch I've seen for Freeze, I've never, not even once seen a single one that talks about how possibly his character can tie the entire scope of the city, every main and supporting character in the movie. Never how the character would actually carry an entire film challenging Batman.įreeze's motivation has always been extremely simple: commit crimes for the well being of his frozen wife, or get revenge against Gothcorp, the company that wronged him.īoth those things can't carry a 2 hour and a half blockbuster movie, they just can't, you need more than that.Typically, Batman villains in blockbuster movies have always had the capacity to tie into different aspects of the city and weave different characters together into a single cohessive narrative.Nicholson's Joker in Batman 89 tied the mob aspect, Vicki Vale (in a questionable way but whatever) and Batman's origins.Penguin in Returns tied the entire city since he was being used as a political puppet by Max.Ra's al Ghul in Begins tied the entire city and beyond for obvious reasons.Joker kept threatening the entire city in chaotic ways that weaved into Harvey Dent and a whole matter of political drama.Bane literally took over the entire city.Riddler uncovered decades of corruption that tied all the characters in the movie into a single succesful narrative. Freeze in a Batman sequel is completely based around themes and general ideas. so what?Every single fan pitch I've seen for Mr. Sure, Freeze has a good motivation and a good origin, but. And to be honest, I think I find him one of the worst possible choices for main villain in a sequel.It's not even a matter of realism (tho it does kinda play a factor in my reasoning) since I think a grounded version of Freeze can be made. Joe: The Rise of Cobra (2009) – “Nice shoes”.By far and away, as I can see, the most requested villain for the sequel is Mr. Goes to show that a giant snake can indeed swallow a lot of cash. Despite being widely mocked, the film managed to squeeze out over $136 million worldwide. Jon Voight, as the snake hunter Serone, delivers this gem with a bizarre accent that seems to be from nowhere in particular, adding an extra layer of hilarity to an already over-the-top scene. Anaconda (1997) – “You can't scream if you can't breathe”.Īnaconda is filled with moments that are so absurd they're comical, but the line, You can't scream if you can't breathe, takes the cake. Even for a comic book film, this line would have made the Joker cringe. Freeze bursts onto the scene at a charity gala, freezes everyone in sight, and makes his chilly introduction. Among the many frosty one-liners, Ice to meet you takes the cake for being un-brrr-lievably cringe-inducing. Freeze, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger (again). Batman & Robin is renowned for George Clooney's Bat-nipples and a whole host of ice puns courtesy of Mr.
