I don't want there to be romance between Venus and Leo or Raph.) The way they introduced Venus in The Next Mutation was just sad, it could have been better. I kind of agree with you on that. Sure, Next Mutation is not very good in my opinion, but at least they tried their best to try and fit the fact there's a female turtle in there now. And actually, they did say that Venus won't be in the 2012 series. Here's the link to where I found that out.

They said they don't have plans for Venus. That doesn't necessarily mean she is out of the question. It's clear she won't be in season two, but I refuse to count her out unless the series ends or unless the powers that be explicitly say that they don't intend for her to EVER appear.

And even if they say no, it is conceivable that they might change their plans.

It's obvious to everyone that introducing Venus into ANY new version of TMNT would be a risky decision. I would like her to return to the franchise very much, and I believe that she can be revised into a better character.

As for my two cents regarding her being a villain, it would be interesting if she was, but I'd prefer her to either be on the Turtles' side or to be a neutral character like the Utroms or Karai. As long as she's not a love interest to the Turtles, I'm happy.

I keep on butting into these conversations and ignoring them when I feel like I've said enough, but it does nothing. Whether I get involved or not, we always end up getting into unnecessary arguments.

It would be best if we just stop discussing over whether or not Venus made a comeback and just wait for the show to make its run. There may be more Venus haters than Venus fans, but her small fanbase is still remarkably large. I'm not trying to convert any of you. If you hate Venus, you can continue hating her. If you like her, I don't have a problem with it. Same goes for those who have no opinion about her whatsoever.
