Had it not been for Rachel he might have. The torture thing might be interesting, too. A lot of people were surprised that Bond was tortured in Casino Royale (even though he had been tortured in the previous movie, Die Another Day, albeit less convincingly and realistically). Batman still feels a bit invulnerable from a physical standpoint, only having falls and dog bites really featured as physical challenges. I'd be concerned, though, that most people would have to go to wikipedia to learn who Black Mask is. That might piss off medium fans, those who enjoyed the occasional comic and tv show instead of die hards.

I think Black Mask could work very well. He could be the mob boss who takes control of the mob in Joker's absence, also allowing him to not only act out his personal vendetta against Batman, but Bruce Wayne as well.
I doubt many people will care if they don't know who Black Mask is. Many didn't know who Raz Al Ghoul was, but if the introduction is done right, it can be pulled off. Also, Black Mask fits in really well with the Nolanverse.
Have we decided on an actress to play Catwoman yet?
