As much as I liked ledgers Joker I would like to see the character return because the Joker is one of the greatest villians in the DC universe. They replaced Dumboledore in the Harry Potter films after Richard Harris passed away and fans did not seem to care.
I agree. I'd like to see Joker back more than a new villain. But I really don't know if I'd enjoy him as much. I know it's just a role... but I like LEDGER playing the Joker. It wouldn't be the same, it wouldn't really seem like the Joker returned. It's a difficult decision to make for those involved I'm sure.
But I was reading up on Mad Hatter and he sounds like a very good villain for Batman 3 (DK2? lol). Here's some reasons I think he would work excellently in Nolan's world.
1.) He is schizo and crazy... possibly a pedophile (since he kidnaps girls with the name "Alice.") He is obsessed with "Alice in Wonderland," and you all know how dark that book can be portrayed as. He sometimes cannot tell between that world and reality.
2.) He has created mind-controlling technology.
3.) He kidnaps Lucius Fox at one point, reading his mind into his computer to gain knowledge about Wayne Industries and I would assume Batman.
4.) He kidnaps Gordon's daughter Barabara... dressing her up as Alice. Batman and Gordon have to go find him.
5.) At one point he uses a mind control device on Scarecrow.
If you portrayed Penguin as just a gentlemen mobster who does not usually do hands-on with crimes but is behind them... a man with no real deformities but a love for birds (as he was originally protrayed in the comics)...
he could be behind some of the things that Mad Hatter does, who would be the central villain. Scarecrow could be under Mad Hatter's control and the possibility of Riddler being in the movie too could arise... he could provide Batman with clues. I don't know that might be too many villains. But I like the idea of Mad Hatter.
Only problem is that Tim Burton is going to make an Alice in Wonderland movie so it would kind of be lame if they both came out around the same time (With Johnny Depp playing Mad Hatter in Burton's Alice).
But lots of things about his character sound good to me.
