Two face I'd love to see, however. I don't think Batman Forever did him justice. Mr. Freeze came off as a cartoon character.

Personally, I don't think Catwoman, Riddler or Penguin were done justice, either.

Catwoman was a secretary who got pushed off a building, was licked by a bunch of cats and awoke with magical cat powers. Yeah...

Riddler was basically the Joker with question marks, a far cry from the intelligent and sophisticated villain seen in Batman TAS and the Modern comics.

Penguin was a deformed baby raised in the sewers by a flock of actual penguins. Gimme a break...


Honestly, outside of the first Burton flick, none of the Batman villains from that series were handled particularly well at all. I'd like to see the Begins franchise reboot each and every one of them, because lord knows they need it.
