12 Villains Who Must Appear In Affleck's Batman Movie

9. Mad Hatter

With a significant number of Batman's Rogue's Gallery already adapted and the rumour promising "potentially all" of our favourite Batman villains, it seems inevitable that we're going to see some new faces in the mix. And if you're looking for a particularly creepy new player, the Mad Hatter is quite the prospect.

If Arkham Asylum: A Serious House On Serious Earth is to be the source material, it would also be wrong to ignore the influences of Alice In Wonderland. The idea of Mad Hatter as a paedophile might be a little dark for a comic book movie, but Zack Snyder's manifesto has made that sort of adult material entirely possible.

There is call for new Batman villains, and if Suicide Squad works, it's likely Warner Bros will gain confidence in deviating away from the same core of classic, familiar characters. That could mean cameos by the likes of Mad Hatter become more likely.
