Despite all wanting to kill Batman, it's arguably not so surprising that the villains of the DC universe aren't above killing each other as well. It's not all about vengeance or money in Gotham, after all - sometimes, you've just got to show that you're the top dog.

In Arkham Origins, one of the most memorable boss fights for all the wrong reasons is that of Lester Buchinsky, aka Electrocutioner. With a fairly muscular frame and electrically charged gloves, you'd expect him to be able to stand up to the Dark Knight even a tiny bit. But no - as soon as the 'fight' starts, the first punch you throw knocks the self-important thug out for the count.

When the main antagonist, Black Mask, is actually revealed to be the Joker in disguise, he chastises the eight assassins for failing to kill Batman as was the agreement. In doing so, he nonchalantly throws Electrocutioner out of a high window, killing him instantly.

Joker is, of course, the final boss of 2009's Arkham Asylum, 'roided up with Titan formula, as well as the final boss in the Arkham Knight DLC pack, A Matter of Family. If anyone was going to take out their psychosis on those allegedly on his side, you can bet it would be the Clown Prince of Crime himself.
