Because hopefully this story will go in directions that aren't immediately blazingly obvious? We have no idea what Reeves is planning. I'm sure all of us are wrong about it.It’s really puzzling how people can watch this saga and believe that some half dead guy with a severe case of hypothermia is going to show up out of nowhere in a SpaceX suit with an advanced military grade weapon to freeze people even further to death just because he’s mad that no one will fund his research to cure his wife’s lung disease.
It’s just a “villain of the week” plot that goes nowhere. I like Mr. Freeze a lot, though he has no real place in this crime saga. It’s like reading a book and the writer decides that he’s going to move away from the main plot to introduce a new character right in the middle of the story just because he thinks he’s cool.
It's also not "one book". It's a series of stories that will all presumably have their own self contained narratives that are part of the larger whole. There's several ways Freeze could be utilized that would tie into the themes Reeves is working from - particularly if he wanted to delve into the white collar crime side of corruption in Gotham, something Freeze as a character is traditionally tied to in his backstory.
Freeze feels very unlikely to me, sadly. But so does Robin and there are a million ways to make him work in this context as well.
