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

As much as an intelligent adversary is important, sometimes Batman just needs a lumbering brute to fight, and very few are as deadly as KGBeast. Trained rigorously by the KBG to be an unstoppable juggernaut, Anatoli Knyazev is the kind of 'Deathstroke meets Bane' hybrid that would make for an absolutely killer opponent in an upcoming Arkham sequel.

Said to have mastered the use of every deadly weapon known to man, KGBeast's boss battle potential is almost limitless, meaning that you could face him multiple times throughout the campaign and utilise different mechanics for each encounter. His status as a relentless assassin would mean he'd fit nicely into the plot too, working as a contract killer for the story's main players.

While the Arkham series has never fully figured out how to make boss fights out of Batman's larger enemies - case and point, the countless times you throw a Batarang at someone's face until they run into a wall - KGBeast seems like the perfect counter to this issue. His arsenal of blades, guns and giant cybernetic hand-mounted cannons provide countless hazards to dodge and counter.

KGBeast may not be the most famous brute in Batman's rogues gallery, but he's easily one of the more deadly.
