So now you want me to write a full story??
Not ideas for how they could alter him, I'm not looking for concepts.
Concepts and idea are the same thing.
It's a simple question:
Not in the way your wording it.
What puts Scarface/Ventriloquist on par with Batman's other villains?
How does one even begin to answer that question?"?
I'll say this, the Ventriloquist is one of Batmans most physiology complex characters.The split personality could be explored in depth as a contrass to Batman and his dual identity.
A dual personality would work as the main theme as whose in control, whose actually the master the puppet or the ventriloquist, and who is Batmans real face bruce or the mask.
Nolan could take the chance to explore a villain that's more about psychological depravity than physical harm, emphasize the fragile, damaged mind of Wesker in the movie giving it a scary psychological feel.This is a character that Nolan could develop into a deep, complex, full, sympathetic villain.
As for what you think of Batman's other villains: If you think Joker is ridiculous, you haven't read The Killing Joke.
You'd be wrong to make that assumption.
And the concept of a man, wearing make up or being disfigured, then spending the rest of his life playing tricks on socity is ridiculous.
But thats the beauty of comics, they make the ridiculous believable.
