Matt Smith recently made headlines when he stated his interest in having a role in a Marvel movie. Of course, this sent shockwaves across the Internet, resulting in everyone and their mother putting in their own two cents about whom the former 11th Doctor should play. It was only a matter of time, too. Playing the Doctor gets you a large amount of nerd cred and Marvel hasn’t been shy about courting former Doctors for their projects. The 9th Doctor, Christopher Eccleston, played the villain in Thor: The Dark World (who was unfortunately so unmemorable that it’s not worth mentioning his name), and the 10th Doctor, David Tennant, played Kilgrave in the first season of Jessica Jones and cemented himself into one of the club of the MCU's best baddies.
It’s not a stretch to say Batman has one of the better rogues galleries out of any colorfully costumed crime fighter. A hero is only as good as his villains, and every one of The Dark Knight’s dastardly foes are complex and three-dimensional in their own twisted way. In fact, a prequel movie about any of them would work for almost all of Batman’s villains… except one.
With new superhero movies coming out seemingly every other week, it's a great time to be a comic book fan. There's nothing like seeing your favorite characters being brought to life on the big screen in ways that make you jump for joy and spill your popcorn all over the unlucky sap sitting next to you.
