[edit] Biography
Coleman Reese believed he should be an important lawyer, and that he was missing out on getting fair breaks.
He appeared to be more interested in money than anything else, as he was disappointed by Wayne's rejection of Lau's proposal, and finds his sleeping during the meeting an embarrassment. Reese discovered that Bruce Wayne was Batman when he dug up some plans for the Batmobile. He offered to keep silent for ten million dollars each year for the rest of his life, but then decided to not speak when Lucius Fox reminded him of Bruce Wayne's fighting prowess as Batman.
Later, after Bruce allowed Harvey Dent to get arrested for being Batman, he was about to reveal the real identity on Gotham Tonight when The Joker threatened to blow up a hospital if Reese wasn't dead. Bruce Wayne intervened and saved Reese's life.
[edit] Behind the scenes
- There is some speculation that Reese will become The Riddler in the next film, but there is little proof to support this other than his name, 'Mister Reese' (Mysteries). His high self-esteem concerning his aptitude, desire to gain more power and prestige, and feelings about Bruce Wayne may also inspire a criminal career. Besides that, the alter-ego of The Riddler was shown to be an employee of Wayne Enterprises in the story of Batman Forever. Christopher Nolan could have inspired story for the the third film by this.
