Well, we all know that no one stays in Arkham permanently, but I'll play along anyway.
The one character that I would like to see put away, never to return would have to be Poison Ivy. The only time I have ever enjoyed a Poison Ivy story is when she is teamed with Harley Quinn. And I don't believe that is a success on Ivy's part, but a crowning achievement for Harley, because she temporarily made me forget about how boring and uninteresting Poison Ivy truly is. Maybe I just haven't read enough Poison Ivy stories, but I can only judge her on what I've seen. And what I've seen hasn't been much to sing about.
I'm not sure there are any villains that can ever repent permanently. Sure, Catwoman has made the best go of it out of all of them, but in the end it has only watered her down. Bane did his best to play nice for a while, but we all know that could never work. Two-Face can try all he likes to get that coin to come down on the side of the angels, but we all know his scars, along with that of his coin will show up eventually.
In the end I don't think we will ever see any of the Bat's enemies be cured. Because lets face it, Batman has the best Rogues Gallery in comics, and why would anyone want to screw that up?
