Yeah.
I really wouldn't mind a World's Finest-Styled Batman book that has all these (C-D List) villains.
Something akin to Batman '66 or the Brave & the Bold (cartoon) but a bit more aesthetically (and narratively) modern.
My favorite villain that was created in the 70's is The Spook.
DETECTIVE COMICS #434, 435, 488, and 526.
BATMAN #252, 276, and 304.

I think she's lower.
You could do something with her, but do we really need another mainstay "Alice" character? It's hard to justify them as we already have the Mad Hatter as a relatively major name villain. Tweedles Dee and Dum have a similar problem.
She'd also need some depth and a personality overhaul, as she's currently just another of Dini's (creepy) quirky lost little girl tropes.
"Has Sariel summoned you here, Azrael? Have you come to witness the miracle of your brethren arriving on Earth?"
"I WILL MIX THE ASHES OF YOUR BONES WITH SALT AND USE THEM TO ENSURE THE EARTH THE TEMPLARS TILLED NEVER BEARS FRUIT AGAIN!"
"*sigh* I hoped it was for the miracle."
Dan Watters' Azrael was incredible, a constant delight and perhaps too good for this world (but not the Forth). For the love of St. Dumas, DC, give us more!!!

Hellhound. He has a great design. I also nominate Ten Eyed Man. s-l500.jpg
Joker is best in limited appearances. When it's Joker all of the time, I lose interest.
Any Bat-villain can be great given a good story. Some, though, are more limited to be just physical opponents -- guys like Black Spider and Catman. While others like the Spook and Calculator are more big picture guys -- not the muscle. They all have a place.
I wish this guy was more then just a constantly resurrected Japanese person. I know we already have Black Hand, but I feel that a villain themed all around death can do more.
Also, I want to give a media outside of comic books character a bit of a spotlight
