Lex Luthor
With the success of Man of Steel and the special shots of the LexCorp within the movie, it's clear that Lex Luthor is going to at least appear in the next movie. He may not be the main villain, but he'll probably have his hand in a few things at least. My choice for this charismatic, sly villain is Michael C. Hall. He's ready to move from television to the movies and I think this is the perfect part. He has the reddish hair and I think he can probably pull off the bald look in a cool manner.
Metallo
I would love to see this character played on the big screen. I feel like his origin story has varied depending on where you see him in the comics and TV; however, as a pawn of Lex Luthor preceding Lex's battle suit, he would be great. I say bring in Jonathan Rhys Meyers (the star of The Tudors alongside Cavill) as Corben. He doesn't really act like a pawn, but then neither does Metallo.
Doctor Doom
There is a Fantastic Four movie in the works again. Let's have a Doom that is actually menacing. This character should almost be Vader-like. You never see his face, but you fear his voice and presence. Honestly, I picture the voice of Christoph Waltz. This guy can act and brings a presence that is needed by Victor Von Doom. Would he be willing to not show his face? I believe so. I think the character wins out in roles that he plays.
Cheetah
This is an interesting one. I'd love to see a Wonder Woman movie and you've either got a choice of Cheetah or Circe as two of her big baddies. I'd like to see Cheetah played by Paz Vega. Whether she could perform the action sequences, I doubt. So, in that case, perhaps a relative unknown.
Joker
Some of the best villains are Batman villains. Since there will be a reboot, it's no doubt that we'll see another Joker. I know that most people don't want to think of anybody besides Heath Ledger as the Joker, but it's going to happen. Personally, I'd like to see one of the guys that people rumored would play the Joker in the Dark Knight trilogy. Paul Bettany would play the perfect maniac. It's always made me sad that we don't see him getting to act (outside of his voice) in Iron Man.
Poison Ivy
I'd love to see a good interpretation of this character. I think it could be done too. Christina Hendricks could bring a realistic portrayal of this character to life. She could also play a good Batgirl though.
Penguin
Bob Hoskins is a name I've always liked for this role, but at 71 years old, I'm not sure that he'll be around whenever they finally cast this character again. In a completely different take on the character, I wouldn't mind seeing John C. Reilly take on the role. He's got the acting chops and I'd love to see him play a villain.
The Ventriloquist
This is a rather minor Batman villain, but he's definitely been one of my favorite. In the comics, this character is now female; however, I still imagine Paul Giamatti playing the role of Arnold Wesker.
The Riddler
I know that he's already been in a Batman movie, but I would love to see Joseph Gordon-Levitt take on this role. It may not work, but then again, it totally could.
Bane
Javier Bardem. Again, we're going to see this one recast eventually. I would love to see a take on a true venom story.
Venom
With Amazing Spider-man already planning until number four, I think there's a strong chance we'll see Venom. As far as I know, this part has not been cast yet. Sam Worthington may be a good choice for this role. He already has experience with planning CGI (Avatar).
That's all I've got for now. There are a ton of villains out there. I'd love to look at the Flash's Rogues. There are quite a few Marvel villains that I'd like to consider, but I really know the DC villains well. I'd also love to look at some of the anti-heros (i.e. Catwoman). Perhaps, I'll cover all of these in a part 2.
