So now that the ball is rolling, who would you like to see in the new Batman movie?
I wanna see Clayface. I think it's time, and the technology is definitely there.
I'd like to see a different live-action version of The Penguin.
I should also add that I'm pleased to read that Black Mask might be the new villain for the Gotham Sirens movie. I think there's a lot of potential for that character, and I'd particularly love to see Catwoman go up against this character.
I'd like to see more of Leto's Joker.
This will probably have to wait for a sequel but Mr. Freeze. Heart of Ice style.
I read Batman: Earth One Vol. 2 a while ago,, and it had featured Killer Croc being depicted as a harmless outcast hiding in the sewers who Batman befriended at one stage. After Croc played his part in stopping the Riddler, he was secretly taken into Wayne Manor for refuge.
While I wasn't too crazy about this reinvention, I think this could bode well for a backstory between Batman and Croc in live action. It could show that Croc as one of the many good guys who no longer stayed that way, as Bruce had alluded to while justifying his plan in destroying Superman to Alfred during BvS.

I figured that as a reference to Two-Face aka Harvey Dent. The only other famous Batman ally who turned evil is Jason Todd, but I don't think that happens yet in this new timeline.

I agree, Two-Face was one of the first things that came to my mind too. The point I was trying to make is I believe there's potential for a future Batman film exploring the history behind that reference, and have Bruce pit against a gang of villains who were good at one stage, and were people who Bruce had personally dealt with in the past. I don't think anything like that has ever happened on film or TV, except when Batman tried to help rehabilitate Two-Face in BTAS.
Imagine this - Batman had encountered troubled people like Waylon Jones, Harvey Dent, Selina Kyle, Kurt Langstrom, Victor Fries, and Pamela Isley at some point in time, and even went out of his way to help them in the best way he can. They eventually became the villains they are today, which broke Batman's faith in people, and in the future, these very same people join forces to try and get him. That way, we get an even deeper backstory behind Bruce's path to deconstruction in BvS, and he is forced to face his demons once more in the present day.
I doubt it will ever happen, but I think there is great potential for that kind of story.
Clayface could be cool. I'd also want to see Man-Bat. That could be a good change of pace.
As we all know two face isn't the only Batman villain who was once good. Poison Ivy, Mr. Freeze, even Harley Quinn were all good characters.
I'd prefer to see a villain we haven't seen in live action yet such as Clayface, the Mad Hatter, or Black Mask.

Both characters are fantastic, and I'd also support them being used. The time is right considering the science fiction elements have returned to the Batman world. And the inclusion of fantastical characters doesn't mean the tone lightens up. Check out the Arkham games, BTAS and elsewhere.

Riddler, Penguin, Ventriloquist.
Seems to be a possibility we'll get Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman, Two-Face, Mad Hatter and Firefly.
A film in which Battinson works his way through a rogues gallery before meeting the big bad, ala Hush, would be really neat.
One thing that sounds nice about all of this, is that it looks like the rouges are already established, so we don't have to go through a sort of origin story with the villain, where they'll most likely die at the end. With this, it sounds like they're already up and running, which could be cool.
But I guess we'll see.
Am I the only one wondering if this movie will riff heavily on the Arkham games?

There's also been talk about Robin appearing, which I'd love, but I'm not sure if it'll happen or not. I do think the villain roster will be large, which is a refreshing and exciting development. I think Arkham Origins would be a nice way to handle the villains. For example, Black Mask/Joker lingering in the background, while Batman interrogates Penguin at a warehouse, and then Deathstoke shows up, leading the investigations elsewhere. Battinson doesn't seem to be having a lengthy origin story, as he'll just be. The same should theoretically apply to the villains. Especially for pace, as there's a bunch of them.
