NO sidekicks please. I personally would love to see Nolan's take on The Riddler. I've heard others say they should make him sort of like Jigsaw from the Saw series. What do yopu think about that. I also think that Black Mask would fit well into Nolan's Batverse. But you don't want to have three or more vilains and make the same mistake Spider-Man 3 did.

And/or Bring Ras Al Ghul back, because he certainly didn't die.
Thats a good idea (Deathstroke/Deadshot).
Bringing Ras Al Ghul back would be a bad idea with the general public. They aren't aware that he doesn't die. It was good implying he died for the public but not showing it for the fans of the comics. Just leave him be that way both worlds (public/comic geeks) are happy.
I'll give a rundown of all the villains you can expect to not see...
Harley Quinn (THANK GOD): Too campy for this series, and besides, the Joker from TDK would have killed her in a second anyway...
Penguin: They said it themselves that they didn't want to use him...
Phantasm: She never existed in the comics, and there is no mention of Andrea in Begins... How could he just run off with some other chick when Rachel was waiting for him back in Gotham?
Hush: He's too recent, and there is no mention of Tommy in Begins... Wasn't he one of Bruce's closest friends? Where was he when his parents died?
Poison Ivy: She just wouldn't work that well... I can't imagine her working well, even as a botanist with chemicals... Maybe in a cameo, but nothing more...
Bane: I don't think Nolan will go in that direction...
The ones I do see working are:
Catwoman: I don't really want to see her, but she'd definitely work well...
Riddler: Again, don't really want to see him, but he'd work...
Black Mask: A sadistic "freak" crime boss? Definitely works, especially with the current state of Gotham...
Reaper: He works, and also explains the prosperity of Gotham in the old days (they say it was people like the Waynes, but we know it was the Reaper killing the criminals who got out of line. His departure just so happened to be around the same time as the Waynes' death)
Mr. Freeze: Imagine him as a doctor who kidnaps people, freezes them in chambers, and collects their organs for his wife...
Two-Face: We've seen him work... No other proof needed...
1.) Two-face. He's not dead, you just see him knocked out. Aaron Eckhart is contracted for another film. So there you go. Gordon whisked him off to Arkham and had a funeral for Dent, who is indeed "dead."
2.) Along with Two-face we'll either get Catwoman or Riddler. I'd like either one, but would love to see Riddler in Nolan's verse.
3.) Call me a sucker, but bringing back Ra's would be cool, though I don't think it will happen.

I can see either Catwoman or the Riddler being in the next film. I imagine Nolan's Riddler being something like the Jigsaw Killer from the Saw movies.
Wow, it seems I'm the only one who doesn't want Catwoman or Riddler...
Weird, isn't it?
Why does every movie have to have Joker, Two-Face, Penguin, Riddler, or Catwoman? There are so many other villains to be used that haven't been used yet... Like the Reaper 😛

people that dont read the comics will be like, "Who the hell is Reaper!?!? This movie sucks!"
Its all about popularity sadly

Actually no, but I read it on several websites during production.
I guess it doesn't mean much...Alfred Molina was contracted for 2 Spiderman films and look where that got him! 😛
I'm just saying that they left it open, especially with Gordon already faking his death in the film, to have Harvey Dent "die" and have a funeral and Two-face be hidden in Arkham to come back and finish up the Long Halloween story and kill off Maroni and the mob, etc...
