Batman: Arkham Insurgency - 10 Villains That Must Be Included

Yep, we're still holding out for Clock King...

Just where in the world are Warner Bros. Montreal?

Literally speaking they reside in Canada, but much like the elusive Carmen Sandiego, the studio have kept fans guessing as to what they've been up to. Some hypothesised that they - not Rocksteady - were working on a long-rumoured Superman title, others said that they'd be carrying the Arkham franchise forward in the wake of Arkham Knight, but details have proven to be somewhat scarce since.

The rumour doing the rounds six months ago was that the studio would be returning with a sequel to Arkham Origins - called Arkham Insurgency. The leak that birthed the rumour also boasted a shortlist of villains, who - while a definite change from the Joker, Joker and oh, more Joker we've experienced thus far - isn't going to set the world alight by any stretch of the imagination.

"Maxie Zeus, Dollmaker, Killer Moth, Anarky, Two-Face, Blockbuster, Ventriloquist, Cornelius Stirk, Tweedledee & Tweedledum, Dusan al Ghul, Mad Monk, Dala and The Riddler," were the names mooted in that leak, but there are plenty of other Bat-villains equally as if not more deserving of a spot on the roster - each capable of boasting either an ancillary or supporting role in the story.

Origins gets a bad rap as it is, but with the right villains at their disposal, Montreal could just make a follow up every Bat-fan can enjoy.

Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
