Batman Arkham: Court Of Owls - 9 New Villains That Need To Be Included

7. Flamingo

Batman Arkham Villains
DC Comics

Rumoured to have already been on the cards for the now-cancelled Damian Wayne sequel, Flamingo is the kind of creepy villain that would excel in Arkham's gritty universe. A merciless contract killer who eats the faces of his victims after he kills them, this psychopathic cannibal would make for a brilliant foe that could fight Batman on both a physical and psychological battlefield.

His aptitude with firearms and skill in hand-to-hand combat lines up some seriously interesting potential for an encounter in a fifth game, especially as he's often seen as a worthy adversary when it comes to Batman's skills as a fighter. Seeing as WB Montreal orchestrated the exceptional clash between the Caped Crusader and Deathstroke in Origins, it's not a stretch to imagine Flamingo could fill that role this time around.

The creepy nature of his kills would also make for some horror-based sequences that could significantly shift the tone of the game. Much like the Professor Pyg encounter in Knight or the Scarecrow hallucinations in Asylum, the darker areas of these titles always turn out to be strong highlights, and finding the remnants of Flamingo's latest victims could definitely fit the same bill.

Only time will tell if Flamingo survived WB's cancelled project, but if he has, there are surely some great moments to come.
