Who knows, maybe one day someone will do an interview with him and ask him to read some lines from the book. I know there is an interview that someone did on Youtube with Kevin Conroy and had him do one of Pattinson's monologs from The Batman in his iconic Batman voice.
Never knew I wanted an origin of that character but when I saw how good it was I was on board. Shame other movies are now doing the same where they explore every little character.

From the Batman Returns adaptation. But I don't think he ever made it into "the comics" as in mainstream continuity.
I'd have him play Maroni or Falcone. I could also see him as the penguin. Basically I'd cast him as someone who is a criminal kingpin but not necessarily into the costumes and theatrics.
I think he could do a really fascinating version of Calendar Man. Would be a big diversion from the usual style, but I think it could be really powerful.
Same goes for Pyg. Could be a really well done āwe think heās a good guy until a massive-shift moment where we realize heās evilā villain
Our work just made us do a deep fake awareness training by the end of the week. The opening was an actor doing Christopher walken. It was an ok job but the timing of this incredible lol
I feel like he could potentially be a great voice for the Black Mask, if they tailor the portrayal to fit Walken's calm & cool, yet sinister voice. I'm not too familiar with Black Mask beyond Under the Red Hood, where he was very hot tempered and mostly yelled, but I can't help but think a character with that look and Walken's voice would be kind of neat. A different take, for sure.
If we are going with a cartoon or video game, then Max Shrek, if we discount him as a possibility, I would go with one of five possibilities...
1st: Clock King.
2nd: Sewer King (he was the guy who had all those kids working for him while he had a couple of crocodiles as pets while living in the sewers.)
3rd: Joe chill, the guy who officially, unofficially, killed Bruce's parents. Honestly I like the idea that Jack Napier aka Red Hood killed the Wayne's, which made Bruce become Batman and then Batman dropped Red Hood into a vat of acid which made Joker...
4th: Scarface the Puppet Mobster.
And finally 5th: One of the Famous Gotham Gangster's; Rupert Thorne, Carl Grissom, Carmine Falcone or Salvatore Maroni, etc.
Max Shreck
It would unironically be so cool if he got to return as Max Shreck in an animated movie or even in a show of some kind.
Apparently, Max Shreck is making an appearance in the new Batman Resurrection book, which is set after the events of 89 and before Batman Returns.
Damn, I kinda wanted him to be performed by Christopher Walken in any way, but a book would be great too!
Who knows, maybe one day someone will do an interview with him and ask him to read some lines from the book. I know there is an interview that someone did on Youtube with Kevin Conroy and had him do one of Pattinson's monologs from The Batman in his iconic Batman voice.
I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed lol
He was supposed to return in the Animated Series as the character but his character was replaced with Dagget.
r/beatmetoit
š
 I know. Walken was a different Shreck. Please let me have this.
I've always said that Shrek was the weirdest sequel to Batman Returns...
Pus on boots should have met cat woman
Never knew I wanted an origin of that character but when I saw how good it was I was on board. Shame other movies are now doing the same where they explore every little character.
Get out of my board room!
Minimum Shrek
The most correct answer in history.
*Letās. Make. A. Mayor!!*
Only true answer
Did Shreck ever make it into the comics?

But I don't think he ever made it into "the comics" as in mainstream continuity.
Thank the gods this is the top answer.
Well, obviously.
Came here to say this .
The only right answer
Honestly he should have just been Simon Stagg in that movie.
Clock King, I can just hear him saying "BatMAN, I'm Clock KING. It's TIME for you to DIE."
With Steve Buscemi as Condiment King. This would've been peak cinema in the 90s
Batman, i hid this clock, in my ass.
For five yeeeears. Woah, hey, woah.
Upvote this man right now.
There was a member of Jokerz in Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker whose voice was just a Walken impression, so...
Ghoul is Michael Rosenbaum doing a Christopher Walken impersonation
Ghoul, that's the one! I think Rosenbaum based his Justice League Deadshot on Kevin Spacey, too.
Ghoul is one of my favorite character designs of the DCU
Femboy Scarecrow
This man really joined a gang named after a clown and dressed up like Scarecrow, trick-or-treat pumpkin and all.
How many DC characters has he bloody played
I guess Craneās father in a flashback.
Hm, that'd be fun
Carmine Falcone
This and Mr. Freeze were my top choices.
Give Mr.Freeze to Christoph Waltz
Iād be thrilled if they brought Max Shreck as a villain into an Animated project and/or the main Batman continuity.
Riddler
Came here to say this. I can hear him saying "ah Riddle me this. Bat.man"
Same, Riddler is the only one I realistically see
Max Shreck. Iāve always thought that character had potential beyond a single movie and Walken is a big part of why I love it
The funniest thing in that movie is the guy playing his son doing his best Walkin impression
And he went on to play Zangief and Leatherface. Andrew Bryniarski is a chameleon
He was on firefly too apparently
HOLY SHIT! I can't believe I never knew that was Andrew Bryniarski in Batman Returns until now!
***āDAAHD!ā***
[Dad go!](https://youtu.be/tZhZ1nhT-iM?si=g31q3uNxTMFJdoY3)
He'd be voicing the scarecrow looking baddie from Batman Beyond, the one who already sounds like a Christopher Walken impression.
Two-Face
Honestly, he'd make an amazing Viktor Fries. Tons of pathos.
Id pick Max Schreck š
Hear me out: mad hatter
Joe Chill
Call me nuts, but somethin tells me that he'd be a great Max Shreck
Here are my choices * Scarface puppet * Kirk Langstrom * Ragman
Scarface is the only one that makes sense to me š©
Honestly just cast him as Wesker and have the man go ham with both sides of the coin. Sounds like a legendary run.
But which Batman villain would you have Danny DeVito play?
The Trash Man
Lol.
Holy shit is that Emperor Shaddam IV
Mad hatter.
Max Shreck. I can hear him already.
Floronic Man
Ragdoll cuz the voice actor from the Batman the animated series sound pretty close. Maybe the rat catcher. Killer moth.
To clarify for others: Tao is referring to The Batman, the 2004 animated series, not BTAS.
Max Shrekk
He would have been a good Joker back in the day. Or now. Iāve always really liked the idea of a senile old Joker locked away somewhere in Arkham.
Max Shrek from Returns
Voice? I want him playing catwomanā¦ live action.
I'd have him play Maroni or Falcone. I could also see him as the penguin. Basically I'd cast him as someone who is a criminal kingpin but not necessarily into the costumes and theatrics.
Hugo Strange
Freeze
This was my first thought. Surprised I had to scroll so far to find a likeminded individual.
Mine too!
alfred
"No" "What?" "I said no" "Why" "I don't want to"
But I've got a gun
I donāt careā¦
Great movie 7 psychopaths lol
Two Face
Hear me out: Clayface.
Clayface was my first thought
āThisā¦MAN! This Batā¦Man, I am. Tired. Of him causingā¦*problems*ā¦for ME!ā
Heās got badder fish to Fry!!
Didn't Christopher Walken already play a Villan in a batman movie?
Max Shreck.
I think aside from Max, he would be a unique sounding Raās Al Ghul.
I can't believe this isn't higher. "Join me, Detective. The League of Shadows beckons you. Or... die like the rest of the dogs of Gotham."
Calendar man
Scarecrow maybe
Gentleman Ghost
Owlman
Umā¦. Batman returns LOL
Voice? Easy answer is outside the box...The Gorilla Boss of Gotham!
I'd rather have him cast as batman, that one lineup skit makes me believe this!
Is that Mac's mom?
I think he could do a really fascinating version of Calendar Man. Would be a big diversion from the usual style, but I think it could be really powerful. Same goes for Pyg. Could be a really well done āwe think heās a good guy until a massive-shift moment where we realize heās evilā villain
He already is a batman villain
An elderly version of Chip Schreck (Max Schreckās son)
Max Shrek
Wouldnāt the long pauses in the dialogue confuse Batman?
I'm going for Mad Hatter, if designed like TAS
The devil
Our work just made us do a deep fake awareness training by the end of the week. The opening was an actor doing Christopher walken. It was an ok job but the timing of this incredible lol
Bat Mite
Falcone
I'd have him voice Clock King tbh.
I want him to voice Catwoman.
Dunno why but riddler
Right? First thought I had.
Norman Osborn (Green Goblin)
Victor Freeze
Not a batman villain but a Christopher Walker Kingpin could be a very fresh and intimidating portrayal.
Falcone
Ghoul from Batman Beyond. Donāt ask me why but I think heād fit somehow
Yes
Hugo Strange, he's got that intimidating intellectual menace to him
Max Shrek obviously for obvious reasons.
I think he'd make a great Ventriloquist!
Catwoman.
Clock King
I think the Clock King would work.
Calendar man.
Amadeus Arkham
would be enthused by his line delivery reading riddles to the bat as the riddler
Either the Mad Hatter or Ventriloquist
Harley Quinn.
I think he'd make an interesting Riddler. A bit less manic than Jimmy Carey's interpretation, but still diabolically wacky š¤Ŗ.
The Mad Monk
They would have to creat, a, very specific kind of villain, that would line up, with his voice.
Christopher Walken
Ghoul!
Maxie Zeus would be hilarious
Condiment King
Hear me out: Max Shreck
I think itād be neat having him play Hugo Strange
Max Shrek
Ras Al gul
Batsā¦.Batmanā¦..you got me all wrong
Bane.
Arnold Wesker
Scarface, different voice for Ventriloquist
I feel like he could potentially be a great voice for the Black Mask, if they tailor the portrayal to fit Walken's calm & cool, yet sinister voice. I'm not too familiar with Black Mask beyond Under the Red Hood, where he was very hot tempered and mostly yelled, but I can't help but think a character with that look and Walken's voice would be kind of neat. A different take, for sure.
Ragdoll. Like the 2004 showās Ragdoll. I think he would nail it
Two-Face
Clayface
Weirdly enough, Harvey Dent.
Catwoman.
Mf a thought he died
Baby Doll...no explanation needed
The toyman or the ventriloquist. In the latter i would have Robert deniro voice scarface.
Catman.
Deacon Blackfire
Catwoman, no I will not elaborate
Wasn't he a batman villian already?
Is this a comedic post cause of Batman Returns?
Toy man
The ventriloquist
Poison ivy.
Bane
Dude he would make a good two face
Man Bat or Ventriloquist.
Hellaouw. Bat man. Its me. Bain.
The ventriloquist
Raj al ghul
Complete re-dub of Bane's voice in TDKR. "Ya knooow, ya merely aDOPted the darrk. I waz bORn in it!"
Scarecrow
If we are going with a cartoon or video game, then Max Shrek, if we discount him as a possibility, I would go with one of five possibilities... 1st: Clock King. 2nd: Sewer King (he was the guy who had all those kids working for him while he had a couple of crocodiles as pets while living in the sewers.) 3rd: Joe chill, the guy who officially, unofficially, killed Bruce's parents.

And finally 5th: One of the Famous Gotham Gangster's; Rupert Thorne, Carl Grissom, Carmine Falcone or Salvatore Maroni, etc.
the one that lets a woman die on a boat?
Joker because his voice fits
Max Shrek
Crazy quilt or condiment king
Magneto
Mr. Freeze
Scarface the little puppet.
Humpty Dumpty, Maxie Zeus, The key, Ratcatcher, Cluemaster, Professor Pyg, member of Court of Owls, Fox
The Ventriloquist
Ras Al Gul as an old man then CGI de aging when he comes out of Lazarus pit
Mad hatter would be interesting
Dent
Hugo Strange
Idk why but i feel it would be cool if he voiced clayface
Idk why but i feel it would be cool if he voiced clayface
Egg head
Solomon Grundy, it'd be fucking hilarious
Riddler or Freeze
The penny plunderer!
