And for the ineffectual minor bad guy shown in maybe two scenes, Calendar Man.
There are lots of great villains that just don't work inside Nolan's universe, and we can't just turn all of them into a guy in a leather trenchcoat.
Nolan's baddies had suits. Sure you're not thinking of Frank Miller's "The Spirit"?
But apparently he's out. I guess green just isn't fashionable this year.
I don't see what would've been so hard about putting Matt Bomer in a suit with a green hat. He's not that far off from the Riddler on White Collar.
Deadshot
Already used in Gotham Knights, which is dubiously canon, but I don't think Nolan would override that. Unless he shows up and mentions meeting Bats before. It sounds like the usual Noodle Incident joke to anyone who hasn't watched GK.
Killer Croc isn't in any way a Big Bad, but c'mon, he's a really strong douchebag with a skin condition. He can work.
Yeah, that's what GK did. Cannibalistic serial killer, no less. Tried to eat Batman, hasn't been seen since. Since he was hopped up on Fear Toxin, he likely won't remember Batman, unless you have him make a creepy "I remember your smell. You tasted good." bit.
