Depp would play the perfect Riddler. This is the perfect time for the Penguin to come in as well, they have done a good job of mentioning all of the gangs and in comes Cobblepot to unite them. More like take over and kill any who oppose, but unite regardless. Riddler is the loose cannon who keeps the viewers on their seat while the Penguin develops story.

I can't see any reason why they wouldn't do a 3rd. They have a small cast to round up, four main characters really with Caine, Oldman, Freeman and Bale. It isn't like Maroni or Ramirez couldn't be replaced if they want to keep developing those characters. The cast does get a bit more All-Star like with Depp in the mix, but the best part about a Batman movie is that you don't have to bring back the same villians every time, infact people crave new ones. So signing a blue chip like Depp isn't a big deal for a second movie because if the contracts get out of hand, which I am not sure they can on a $500 mill gross, you just go elsewhere. Basically with Batman there is zero chance it goes the X-Men road of playing to the contracts.
