I'd hate for their to be two villians just to have two villians. It's worked very well: Penguin/catwomen, twoface/joker, but its also been abysmal when the two villians have no real link between them: Venom/Sandman, Mr Freeze/Poison Ivy.

I would not like to see Johnny Depp in any capacity in these movies, I think, due to his massive frame, that he can no longer get 'lost' within a character like he did in 'fear and loathing' or 'Pirates' (even though I think Jack and Raoul were nearly identical characters).

I even recall that the director said he would not use the penguin, he thinks that the pengiun is too bizarre a character to make sense in the world he's built. His first two movies have created an excellent mythology, where he can convince the audience that 'cell-phone sonar' and 'stomach bombs' make perfect sense, and I think the penguin and mr. Depp are 'against the grain' of what he's trying to accomplish. These movies do not need star power to be great and I'd hate to see a gong show of high profile actors playing the villians in future batman movies.
