A bit of villain news from C2E2

Though it doesn't sound like they're gonna be the main villains coming up, apparently Hush and Riddler both will show up in Batman down the line. I know a lot of people were hoping Snyder would write a story with Riddler as the main villain, but at least those of you who felt that way are getting a bit of him.

Also, apparently "The Dark Knight" issue of Night of Owls is gonna do something similar to what happened in Nightwing 7 and show scenes in Batman from a different perspective. That should be interesting, since it's supposedly from the point of view of a Talon.

Hush coming back could be intresting, riddler in a story cool. More commercials is a good thing.

I feel like I heard that differently. Snyder said his next arc would be about the Joker and just that HUSH is on the minds of the bat-writers.

I'm just saying what it says in that link I provided. I think the Joker will indeed be the main villain of the next arc, but that doesn't preclude Hush and the Riddler from showing up in some capacity, in the same way the Arkham rogues cameo'd in 1 or Mr. Freeze will be a part of the Night of the Owls.

I'm interested to see the commericals.

Another site that mentions it. I'm really enjoying that between Gates of Gotham, Batman Incorporated, Batwoman, and most likely the Court of Owls stuff we're getting way more info on the Kane family. That always seemed to be an untapped aspect of Bruce that's just as much a part of him and Damian as the Wayne family is. Seems like they're full of bad seeds.

I didn't listen to the link, I was at the panel today.

Well, two news sites seem to be saying he said Hush would show up in his Batman run at some point, and none have said he confirmed the Joker thing there, so I don't know. I was under the impression that, while he mentioned it a while back before he really locked in that he'd be on the title for a while, he's not allowed to give any details on the post-Court of Owls story, including who the villain is(though it seems almost a sure thing it's the Joker). So yeah, I don't know, I'm not saying you're wrong since you were there, but at the same time I don't know what to believe.

I was there, too. I'm with Choppa--I think Snyder meant Hush and Riddler will appear eventually. But there are no plans to feature them right now.
