Batwoman might not boast as formidable or as extensive a rogues gallery as Batman's, but it's one worth mining in the Arkhamverse.

To date, one of the biggest criticisms surrounding the Arkham series was that it tended to repeatedly use villains rather than introduce new ones. Joker, Harley Quinn, Bane, Riddler and Penguin are just a few of the characters that appeared extensively throughout the series, even though there were countless other Batman villains at their disposal.

By using Batwoman as a main protagonist, Rocksteady would have a unique opportunity. Not only would they be able to follow up on teases to characters like The Broker, Maxie Zeus and Prometheus, they'd be able to pool resources from Kate's rogues gallery too. Mister Bones is one such villain who could easily send Black Mask running for the hills, while her sister Alice is a no-brainer to appear too.

Add in criminal organisations like the Religion of Crime, and you have plenty of opportunities for new and exciting antagonists to get involved.
