    That would be dope. Show that hero or villain is just a matter of perspective. The whole movie you rooting for this guy to win just to find out in the last 10 minutes you were rooting for the villain all along.


    Like how the villian robbing a bank/takin hostages and punching babies in the mouth and then watch some dude come in and fight the main character and the main character loses, goes to jail, breaks out, and does some other crazy ? and the hero pops up again eventually. (Audience would see that the hero is annoying as ? and is always stopping the main character from achieving his goals)Then villian kills hero and the end.

    If done right it could be great.

    Luthor was just a name thrown out there cause of his popularity amongst super-villains.

    Honestly, after seeing the Dark Knight, I think a Harvey Dent/Two-Face could be GOLD.

    Other villains I think would make a great solo backstory (with a superhero or two mixed in)

    Magento
    Mr. Freeze
    The Kingpin
    The Red Skull

    Goated for the 2 face reference he was always my fav villain from batman, I was mad at how they just killed him off in the DK similar to how they did venom in spiderman 3. Venom could get his own movie and that could bring in carnage

    I was thinking more along the lines of a villain doing something that seems noble the whole time until you get another perspective at the end and realize he was wrong all along. I think a Ra's Al Ghul type character would be perfect. Going in to rid a city of bad people then in the end you realize his plan never said anything about sparing the innocent. But he still beats the hero in the end and kills everyone in the city. Then you see a new thriving city almost like a utopia but feel conflicted about whether the ends justified the means.

    If you can get the audience to root for the bad guy you're a bad mufucka IMO

    Riddick and Scarface are the main ones I can think of right now

    i'm not gonna lie i was low key rooting for Bane in the Batman movie.

    There was rumors that The Rock was supposed to star in a Lobo movie. seems outlandish but there is still talks about it. I dont think id trust a movie that Stars the rock to be that phenomenol.

    i'd like to see supervillian movies of the horror genre. scarecrow would be about a deranged psychologist who likes to torture his patients by making them live out their worst fears via his fear gas. etrigan the demon would work the way he was snacking on human limbs in the batman widening gyre saga. two others i'd go with is Solomon grundy or bizzaro. bizzaro would be about a genetic super man clone well you know he's just backwards. everything he does is bad but he thinks he's doing good. his powers would be horrifying (heat breath ect.) and of course he would attempt to save lois at some point this is where supermans cameo would come in. his appearance would also be grotesque as he gradually deteriorate being an inferior genetic clone. also because of his powers he would harm and cause the death of many.

    It would get all the negative press it would need to start a trend due to the free advertising. The villain would have to win also. What sense would it make to see a superstar villain in his own movie saying "cobra retreat"
