I don't mind, since this Batman series is completely different than the previous four. But yeah, if that were to happen, he's the best guy for the part.
The problem with most comic book films is that they feel like they "have to" kill the villain by the end, especially if they're trying to establish a franchise. There are only so many characters that would transfer to the screen well, you know?
Well I think when it comes to DC heroes you are right. There weren't that many interesting characters so you sort of have to use for example the same 6-8 Batman villians.
However with Marvel there tends to be tons of villians that never make it on to the screen but should. With X-Men alone we never saw the Sentinels, Apocalypse, Mr. Sinister, Onslaught and so on.
