New Villains
Do you guys think we'll get villains other than Joker in Season 2? Or perhaps some cameos of Penguin and Two-Face?

I'm rooting for Poison Ivy.
I'm hoping for Poison Ivy. Knowing me, I'll end up poisoned 5 minutes into the game.
Yeah, I don't think they'd go with only Joker as a villain. I think Penguin's role is pretty much granted, since he always ends up arrested with a broken leg, so no determinate states like Harvey - scarred/not scared, in prison/in asylum... Yeaah, we can maximally expect super brief cameo from Harvey or more likely just a mention in a dialogue.
Personally, I'd love to see their take at Riddler, because I believe he'd be a perfect fit for a Telltale game.
That is, of course, if there will be a season 2. Considering the poor sales, the generally not so warm reception from players and that they cancelled the last 2 episodes of Batman Unmasked (which seems like Telltale is trying to distance themselves from Batman and move to new projects asap), we're most likely not getting a second season.
I'm hoping for Killer Croc,Riddler,Poison Ivy, and deathstroke.
Ooh, I love me some Batman villains! As I'm a little pressed for time, right now, I'll just write the one I'd really like to see here, but I'm sure Telltale could handle most of them with aplomb!
The Scarecrow
For those who may not know, the Scarecrow - real name Doctor Jonathan Crane - is a doctor who is fascinated by the concept of fear. After an abusive childhood, he decided to explore the medical sciences behind fear and made his own toxin that reveals the victims worst nightmares in nightmarishly realistic fashions.
I think the Scarecrow could be pretty wizard if I do say so myself. His rendition in Arkham Asylum was just so cool, I'd love to see him show up in a Telltale game. Maybe he had a part to play in the manufacture of the drug used in the first season? (Though admittedly, his forte is gasses that show people their worst fear, but you know. A man can dream.) In Nolan's "The Dark Knight" trilogy, during the second film, The Dark Knight, we see Cillian Murphy's portrayal of him as a drug dealer (Though he does show up in all three films!). So it's entirely possible that Telltale could integrate him as being the pioneer of the drug, and then Lady Arkham and her "Children" perfected it.
He's honestly one of my favourite Batman villains - if not my absolute favourite - and I think he'd be a great addition to Telltale's repetoire of villains. They could do what they did with Lady Arkham's drug, pretending to give you choices but the actual things that happen are far different to what the player selects. Y'know, kind of like what happens during The Walking Dead; A New Frontier, if you pick the [ TELL HIM OFF ] option... Heh.
But they could also do some awesome fourth wall breaks with him, not unlike what they did with Scarecrow's final nightmare sequence during Arkham Asylum (Excuse the pretty 'eh' video quality.)
If anyone's interested, here's a HQ link to all of Scarecrow's nightmares. It's about half an hour long, but they're honestly some of the highlights of the Arkham games, for me.
Edit - Miscredited Scarecrow's performance in the Nolan trilogy, so I corrected it to Cillian Murphy. I also added a link of all of Scarecrow's "nightmare" sequences during Rocksteady's Arkham Asylum game, for those who want to see what they're all about. Also some formatting thingies.
