You read the title right, there are more villains in these films than we all first thought. I am going to quickly take you through them.
Starting in 'Batman Begins', we see Victor Zsasz escaping Arkham Asylum. Zsasz is one of Gotham's most feared serial killers and is the only other easter egg that we acting properly see.
Apparently there are no hidden villains in 'The Dark Knight' but in its sequel 'The Dark Knight Rises' there are apparently three. Starting with Killer Croc. After Commissioner Gordon escapes being captured by Bane's minions, John Blake attempts to start an investigation, unfortunately people aren't too quick to believe his story about an army hiding in the sewers and ask him if he knew anything about giant alligators in the sewers. This is obviously a subtle hint at Killer Croc.
Another very mildly referenced (this one is very far fetched but people online are swearing by it), character is Mr. Freeze. Obviously even Nolan wouldn't make a freeze gun realistic, but he is very capable at giving hard core Batman fans a little hint. The hint towards this character comes when Fox says to Bruce "So you've came out of your cryo-sleep", which could be referring to the cold loving Freeze's and keeps his wife in cry-sleep whilst he looks for a cure to the disease that's killing her.
The final easter egg character is Clayface. in the animated series, Roland Daggett develops a cream that allows people to change their appearance. While the cream was denied to be sold in stores due to its addictive qualities, Daggett gives it to an actor named Matt Hagen for use in a series of crimes, eventually leading to Hagen becoming the villain known as Clayface. While this doesn't happen int he final Batman movie, and that character is renamed "John" Nolan does have Daggett appear as a corporate rival of Wayne's who hired Bane to take Gotham's most famous citizen down to street level. Much like in the animated series, Daggett's plans don't exactly turn out as well as he planned.
Unless anything is confirmed these are all merely speculation, but I hope they have given you some food for thought.
