5. Hush
Hush works because he ultimately serves as an antithesis to Batman/Bruce Wayne. Dr. Thomas Elliot was a childhood friend of Bruce's, and while his parents also died, it was Tommy who brought about their untimely demise. He constantly compared himself to Bruce, and as his anger grew, so did his level of violence. Through some complicated dealings with the Riddler and an almost too-long, too-bloated storyline (Batman: Hush), Tommy found out about Bruce's mask and swore to get his (unwarranted) revenge as the bandaged murderer, Hush. Why we shouldn't expect them: While I think that Hush is a rather new, compelling nemesis, there is simply too much for a director to tackle if they wanted to do it well. The original Hush storyline, as I said above, is absolutely bloated. Sure, they could definitely adapt Hush's origin to fit the film better, but it would have to be done not in one movie, but a series of events, similar to how Sam Raimi's Spider-Man films showed the evolution of Harry Osborne (except with better results). Otherwise, Hush won't have the emotional impact that an enemy of his caliber deserves, nor will he go over with the casual film-goers.
