I have very little knowledge of the batman mythos, but considering the quality of his acting and the fact that he worked with Nolan in inception it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up in the next batman film. Would you want him and what role could he fill?

I really enjoy Tom Hardy on screen & would welcome his talents in a Batman film. Being that he was a convincing bald headed thug in Bronson I'd say Hardy could probably pull of a character like Zsasz who, although being a fairly minor villain, has a lot of craziness & character.

Tom Hardy seems to be one of the biggest things to have come out of Inception. He's a very talented actor and this seems like it could be his real big break. I hope it is, though after seeing him in a few British things a while ago, I still find it weird to see him so muscly after filming Bronson.

@Lydian_Sel:  FUCK, of course he could be Zsasz I completely forgot about him after playing Arkham Asylum. I could definitely see Hardy bringing an intimidating figure and Bronson esque psychopathy to it.

The thing is, Zsasz was already in Batman Begins. Scarecrow testified in a court and managed to get him into his asylum instead of going to jail.

That wouldn't necessarily stop them. I mean if they can replace Katie Holmes with Maggie Gyllenhaal no reason they couldn't bring Zsasz back with a new actor. It would be kind of cool to have several bad guys running around Gotham. 
 
Frankly, as long as it has Catwoman, I'll be happy. I think that's by far the most interesting direction they can go story-wise and I'm really interested in Nolan's take on that relationship, and I'd be disappointed if they didn't go that route.

Well, it depends on which Tom Hardy you get, not to mention how you use the actor. Clayface wouldn't be a horrible choice, but if he bulked up like he did in Bronson then he could at least look the part of somebody like Bane or Killer Croc. I don't think his fantastic charm would come off too well, though. While I think his height would hinder this, I could imagine him playing the part of a particularly horrifying Mad Hatter.

I wouldn't mind if he wasn't a villain, and even periphery characters are usually well cast in these films.

Considering that Nolan is a fan of casting actors that have appeared in his previous movies, it's not out of the question, and wasn't it strongly rumoured that Joseph Gordon-Levitt was going to play The Riddler in the next Batman?
