10 Insanely Dark Batman Moments The Movies Won't Show You

10. Warren White's Arkham Experience

Warren White is a Batman villain who is criminally underused, as his backstory with Arkham Asylum: Living Hell is one of the most interesting villain origins of DC's entire collective roster.

Despite this, the Great White Shark's beginnings are sure to never feature on the big screen even if the character does, as Warren's fall to villainy is anything but family-friendly.

White is sent to Arkham after pretending to be mentally disturbed to avoid a longer jail sentence, with the grifter totally unaware of the hellscape he has just trapped himself in. The asylum and its various occupants mistreat the man in every way possible, culminating in Jane Doe stealing his identity and leaving him in a freezer to die.

While Warren doesn't actually die, the harsh temperatures freeze off his various extremities, leaving White both physically and mentally traumatised. It's a brutal chain of events that really justifies why the Great White Shark is the way he is, which makes it a real shame that its gross-out factor means that those who haven't seen the comic may never know the sordid tale of the supervillain's past.
