The Batman: 10 Characters The Arkham Asylum TV Show Should Introduce

A seemingly meek man, Wesker is a criminal genius that suffers from dissociative identity disorder. Wesker sees himself as a subservient lackey to the puppet Scarface, a ventriloquist dummy he stole from another inmate after murdering them. Witnessing the death of his parents at a young age, Wesker began repressing the grief and anger he felt, resulting in a mental break in adulthood.

Wesker's dark and violent urges manifest through Scarface's actions, ridding himself of personal blame. He truly believes that the puppet is a separate being and, in some instances, this is implied to be true. Although a supernatural aspect of Scarface has been hinted at, this alone could be a reflection on Wesker's mental state.

Introducing the character in the Arkham Asylum series would present an opportunity to dive into Arnold Wesker's psyche and create a compelling narrative focused on the coping mechanisms of traumatized individuals. If desired, Reeves could lean into the ambiguity of Scarface's sentience, bringing a psychological horror element with the character.

Ideally, their storyline in the series would serve as a prelude to a larger role in the universe. An inevitable power vacuum has formed as a result of Carmine Falcone's death, and Penguin is poised to fill the void. Scarface and his subordinate may soon find themselves beyond the walls of Arkham, vying for power as either an enemy of Cobblepot, or by his side as an officer.
