10.) Court Of Owls
They are a secret group of Assassins similar to the League of Shadows, so they would definitely be familiar. Everyone in Gotham considers them a myth, but they are there in the shadows causing havoc to anyone in their way. They would require a stronger villain to be forceful, as they couldn't carry their own movie. But would be great secondary villains, as Scarecrow was in Batman Begins.
9) Clayface
I know a few of my friends have said they would love to see Clayface on screen, however I am luke-warm about it. He would definitely leave an impact, especially with his ability to mutate in different shapes, but I feel that he would need someone running the show, just like Court of Owls. Would be cool to see him on the big screen though if given the right story.
8) Mister Freeze
Mister Freeze is in DESPERATE need of a reboot after what Schwarzenegger did to this character. After a few years of completely dis-approving of the character being allowed back on screen, the Arkham video games came out and completely flipped my decision. Freeze is in need of a cure for his wife to save her from her terminal illness. Victor Fries keeps her frozen while he tries to create a cure to save her. He could carry his own movie given the right script, and if the director takes a page out of the Arkham story, then everyone will forget about the Schwarzenegger/Schumacher debacle.
7) Hugo Strange/Deathstroke
He doesn't need to commence in hand to hand combat with Batman, but he will give him fits. Dr. Strange is one of Batman's biggest villains, and one of the first to know his secret identity. He is a super-genius, originally creating affects to allow his goons to commit crimes. He could be the ring-leader in a movie, putting Gotham in his control and taking over the city. He could use Deathstroke, one of Batmans most skilled adversaries to do the fighting for him. And I think the perfect person for the Doctor Strange role is Robin Williams. If you haven;t see "One Hour Photo", watch that and you'll see why.
6) Scarecrow
Scarecrow is my favorite Batman villain, but one who is not entirely popular with most fans. He uses fear gas to create fear among civilians turning them against one another. The toxin brings your worst fear to life right in front of you and heightens the intensity of it (just imagine that for a second). I really enjoyed what they did with this character in Batman Begins, and I feel there is potential for more development of this character in future Batman films. I don't know if he could survive a movie on his own, because he doesn't have the fighting prowless of a Deathstroke or Bane, but I feel he is main villain worthy. Imagine your worst fear being brought to you in 3D?
5) Hush
In my opinion, given the right script, you would have a decent Batman film with Hush as a standalone villain. He is also never been used in the movies which makes his story much more fresh. Hush grew up with Bruce Wayne when they were children, and became his biggest enemy as adults. Hush could not stand his parents, even tried killing them. He holds a grudge against Bruce and when Thomas Wayne saved his parents life after Hush tried to murder them. He prevents Batmans biggest villains from killing him because he wants the satisfaction of killing him. Could make for a great story, maybe with Leonardo DiCaprio or Jeffrey Donovan as Hush?
4) Mad Hatter
Mad Hatter was my favorite villain as a kid. He is a skilled hypnotist who is obsessed with Alice in Wonderland, going so far as to believe he truly was the Mad Hatter from Alice in Wonderland. He uses hypnosis to commit crimes, and he places mind control chips in hats to paralyze and hypnotize his victims. He will stop at nothing to gain control of Batmans cowl. His powers rival that of scarecrow, so I feel because Scarecrow was already used, Mad Hatter would be much stronger right now. The CGI for a mind controlling hypnotist would be insane, but he could not carry his own film. Which leads me to.....
3) Black Mask
I feel it's only a matter of time before we see Black Mask on the big screen. On behalf of all Batman fans I'd just like to say "Hurry Up Already!" Black Mask is a fantastic super villain, who is obsessed with masks, even carved a mask out of his fathers coffin to wear, which is the infamous mask you see him wearing in the comics. He actually despises Bruce Wayne more than Batman because Wayne saved his parents company that he previously bankrupted after they died. He resented his parents over their concern of social status than caring for him. His story ark goes deep and he would be another new refreshing story to add to the cinema.
2) Joker
The Clown Prince of Crime. Listen, I know everyone raved and raved about Ledgers performance. I agree he was absolutely phenomenal, something never seen or possibly ever duplicated in a comic book film. But lets be realistic, you don't have the Batman without the Joker. This character could have carried the whole Dark Knight Trilogy himself. Not just because of how well Ledger did, but because of all the angles you can go. When Batman gets re-booted, Joker will be there, this time they can try something to Joker's origin. How about before he became the Clown? They can start with Red-Hood, his character before he became one of the most popular villains in history. But I feel this next character is long overdue for the cinema debut....
1)Harley Quinn
Doctor Harleen Quinzel is a psychiatrist who was working with and eventually falls in love with the Joker while he is in Arkham Asylum. Quinn frees Joker from the Asylum after her boss reads her case files and proceeds to fire her after he notices the infatuation with Joker. She is completely oblivious to his lack of care or sympathy for her. When she is not with Joker, she goes off on her own, committing crimes with help from friends.She is very close friends with Poison Ivy, who even helped her become immune to certain chemicals and poisons. She is very strong and agile, and has fought Batman by herself on occasion. She is a great character, and teamed with Joker could really wreak havoc on Gotham City. The relationship between her and the Joker could carry its own movie, and I know Batman fans will go crazy the day that she gets her due. I even thought the perfect girl to play her would have been Britney Murphy, because she maintained the perfect balance between crazy and normal. Sadly, she has passed on, but I know that there are some women out there more than capable(Anna Faris?). The next film that includes the Joker, must include the debut of the Princess of Crime.
