Christopher Nolan could make sinister yet realistic villains out of R'as Al Ghul, Scarecrow, the Joker, and Two-Face.

Don't get me wrong... I actually like the Riddler as a comic book villain. Someone who would leave cryptic clues to his own crimes just to challenge the authorities is one sick individual with some kind of superiority complex.
