Batman: 6 Existing Characters Who Should Be The Arkham Knight

1. Thomas Wayne

Is the father of Bruce Wayne actually dead? We have been told of his death but not actually seen it during the game series. He is probably the most unlikely character to be the Arkham Knight but there is still a chance. For those of you who are unaware, Thomas Wayne was killed by a mugger which a young Bruce witnessed. You will have also heard the character's voiceover in the trailer for Arkham Knight. What is the relevance of having the dead character do a voiceover? You may think simply it is part of Bruce's mind - or maybe something else is going on. Thomas Wayne may have witnessed what Bruce has done with Gotham and disagree with it. Maybe he was never killed at all? Maybe he has been brought back from the dead? Who knows? There is a slim chance of the Arkham Knight being Thomas Wayne. In The Flashpoint Paradox, there is an alternative timeline in which Thomas Wayne becomes The Dark Knight when Bruce is killed. Thomas Wayne's Batman is very different to the Batman we have become familiar with. With his use of guns and murder, he is less of a hero and more of a villain - a militarised version of the character. Maybe we could see Thomas Wayne as an 'evil' Batman through the character of The Arkham Knight? It's unlikely yet almost plausible, and would lead to a shocking reveal, so never say never!
