The world that Batman inhabits is vast and although Nolan gave us a strong vision for many of those characters, he covered but a fraction of the Batman Universe.
Let’s fill in some blanks…
Penguin/Oswald Cobblepot - Philip Seymour Hoffman
Low-hanging fruit that may or may not have actually been in the works at some point, but it’s a good fit. Hoffman also would’ve presumably been the very classic gentleman version of the character that we haven’t really gotten with DeVito and Farrell.
Black Mask/Roman Sionis - Leonardo DiCaprio
A good dark counterpart to Bale’s Bruce IMO. Leo told Timothee Chalamet not to do superhero films, but I’ll bet he’s got a good villain in him.
Leslie Thompkins - Helen Mirren
I could see her as a good maternal counterpart to Caine’s Alfred. And ideally before the Fast franchise got its hooks into her, when she was still in her Prime Suspect/costume drama mode.
