Batman
Batman’s rogues gallery is undoubtedly the most jam-packed with iconic characters in all of comicdom. After all the various movie versions of the character, the general audience is very familiar with a lot of them by now. As such, the best way to capitalize on both the many great villains and people’s familiarity with them in The Batman is to feature them in cameo roles. Though it doesn’t seem to be the case anymore, an early rumour about the film suggested it would revolve around Arkham Asylum, thereby including just about everyone of Batman’s major villains in some capacity.

This would have been a brilliant idea, as it would fit with the fact that this version of Batman is long in the tooth. There’s no reason to tell all the origin stories again as he’s already faced his foes several times before. Pop the Penguin in one scene and rustle up the Riddler in other, just to remind us that this isn’t like previous films which have introduced the villains one by one. In this world, Batman’s rogues gallery is already out there.
