Think we can all agree it gets tiresome seeing the same ew over and over and it's the richest rogues gallery there is, so what are some you wish got some more play?
Would not really my first instinct normally but I realized the other day that you could do a kickass The Batman sequel with Deacon Blackfire and realized I'd actually kind of really want to see that.
Kind of been thinking for awhile it might be fun to see a high profile Cluemaster adaptation too, though guess could see where that might be kind of a hard sell because the key differences between him and Riddler aren't really immediately obvious.
Also sort of wish some of the non-Harley BtAS originals got more play if only in the comics. Top of my head the show's version of Clock King has a lot more you could do with him, there are probably some additional stories you could get out of Baby Doll, Roxy Rocket's a blast the rare times they use her, and I always liked the Calendar Girl deal way more than anything anyone has ever done with Calendar Man. Yes Long Halloween included.

I want a movie where Clock King has an elaborate heist/kidnapping/something plan that Batman has exactly 2 hours to stop, and the whole story takes place in real-time. You could add one of the lesser used "muscle characters" for a physical threat.

Maxie Zeus. Killer Moth. The Ten-Eyed Man. I was kind of meaning to mention Maxie Zeus. He's one of those characters who I don't think has a ton of stories in him but he has more than he usually gets.

I feel like Baby Doll is one of those characters that is wildly underutilized, especially given the discussions about how child stars are chewed up and spat out that have been had in the decades since her inception.
Catman is definitely not used as much as he could be, too.
Great White Shark is kind of a fun one. A capitalist that even Joker finds disgusting, with nothing cool at all about him. He's just an asshole who thought he was too smart of everyone, but was arrogant enough to ploy his way into Arkham Asylum to try to segue that into a minimum security prison stay, only to get his paperwork destroyed to doom him to staying there indefinitely because he had the nerve to do this despite one of his victims being Jeremiah Arkham himself, who relished the opportunity to enact payback on him. A good source of schadenfreude, this character.
Of course, speaking of sharks, I also wouldn't mind the Terrible Trio getting more play. I kind of like villains who aren't necessarily "crazy" in the traditional sense, but also just shithead rich boys and crooked businessmen, too, like these tend to be.

I feel Batman should have used way more oranges in his battles against the Joker in the 60's.
Anyone who understands this post, we can be BFFs.

Catman is definitely not used as much as he could be, too. First, I think Baby Doll should have been just a one-off villain. Hers was a tragic story, she went a little mad, but she was caught and helped and is now on a better path. Maybe if she returned as a rehabbed character, maybe her acting career took off again because of her new-found notoriety... sure. But she's not a villain. Second, I think they used Catman really well in the Secret Six series.

I don't really have any actual exposure to the character so don't have much of a direct opinion on if I want to actually see it but I do wonder when we're going to see adaptations start bringing Punchline into things. Seems like a character DC's gotten really big into pushing and her role as a Harley replacement does feel pretty natural since Harley's kind of outgrown that by now.

I know he often appears as more of a minor villain in a lot of shows and games, but I feel like the Mad Hatter has a lot more legs as a villain than he gets, especially if you include the Wonderland Gang as possible henchmen.

I always thought Lock Up would make for an interesting countpoint to Batman in a film or series of TV episodes. Not the main villain but a significant force Wayne and the Gotham PD are dealing with.

Honestly some kind of alignment of him and the Riddler would've been a way more logical direction for Dark Knight Rises to take.

I remember him being a side villain in Arkham Origins but I think Anarky should be used more in live action media (unless he has and I'm not aware).

After watching Batman: The Brave and the Bold recently, I've been wanting a Gentleman Ghost movie.

Honestly, it would require at least a couple of movies but I’d be interested in seeing John Paul Valley done right (well, better than they eventually made it in the comics).

I like Scarface and felt he would be an intresting addition to a movie,i thought the actor who did played him in Gotham was great.

Maybe not more play because she gets plenty, but I'd like to see a fully heel Catwoman and not the anti-hero/face we always get.
