Christian Bale has said he won't do a Batman film that has a Robin character. So that's out--I presume Nolan has learned from the earlier series of films that a revolving-door of batmen just doesn't work.
I agree that Penguin, Riddler, and Poison Ivy need to be avoided--their portrayals in the earlier films was just too iconic, and it would take someone of Ledgerian talent to reclaim the characters from the camp portrayals they're known for. Not that it couldn't be done, but it'd be nice to tread some new ground, the way the first film did.
There's a whole panoply of great Batman baddies. I'd like to see the story of Dr. Kurt Langstrom (a.k.a. The Man-Bat) make it into a feature. It's a great, tragic story. I think Clayface would be fun. Maybe Killer Croc, too.
I'd like to see Joker's "Red Hood" backstory. You've got to think that Joker will be a feature badguy in the next movie, given he's up at Arkham just waiting to get sprung by either Bane or Harley Quinn. For SURE we need Harley Quinn, if we get Joker back. Love that crazy little clown chick.
I'd like to see Talia al Ghul show up as a love interest, perhaps competing with Selena Kyle.
