To the best of my knowledge, you're allowed exactly one option (which
will go before the filename).
I think Stefan's suggestion to special-case --batch to load the
following filename argument when there's no other options seems
sensible (it seems very unlikely to conflict with current usage, since
surely everyone using --batch now also uses -l, -f, or --exec).

I don't know... it sounds very useful to me -- elisp is a fine language
for writing interactive scripts, even if they don't use the full-screen
redisplay.
