The thing is though is that a D type villain CAN be used to become a much bigger villain, it all depends on potential. The Mad hatter has a great gimmick and set up which allows him to be able to be used many times. Same with Freeze, ice type villains are fairly common with super heroes.
Hatter and Freeze worked better in toons then comics, this goes back to what i said about translation. Just because something works in the comics doesn't mean it will work in another media. Galactus is a fine example. The new Fantastic 4 movie said they have to change his appearance for the film.'
Why? Because how he looks in a comic book would look totally stupid and weird in a live movie, it's all a matter of proper translation. Croc and Freeze were made into more re-usable villains thanks to the series clever use of them. I do also like how Man-bat likes being a villain in the new series as opposed to the old one.
I doubt very much we'll see Two-Face though, of all the Batman villains. Two-face has showed up the least in media appearances. This is mainly due to the fact he represents alot of serious, psychological/bipolar issues that are definitely going to be too insanely dark for a kids show.
Even if they got a little leeway with showing more graphic content in the show, Two-face is always going to be a very sensitive character to use.
