Despite having his name plastered around everywhere from Asylum onwards, Don Carmine Falcone has yet to make a full appearance in a mainstream Arkham title, receiving his first (physical) look in Arkham Underworld, a mobile spin-off released in 2016.

It's about time he got a fully fledged appearance however, particularly with a title set in the formative years of Batman's career. The mob are an integral part of that period in Batman's life, and the Falcones had a massive part to play in both Year One and The Long Halloween - two of the Dark Knight's most seminal storylines.

Certainly, Alberto Falcone (Carmine's son) had a brief cameo in Origins as a victim of the Penguin, so a follow-up appearance should, surely, include the rest of his family.

Then there are the Maronis, the would-be kings of Gotham's criminal underworld. They often go toe-to-toe with Falcone, and we've yet to see a full on classic mob war in the Arkhamverse. Considering how Origins planted the seeds for the old order - ruled by the Falcones and the Maronis of the world - to fall away, it's now or never for them to get an inclusion, in what will, imaginably, be their last desperate play to maintain the status quo.
