Batman: Arkham Insurgency - 10 Villains That Must Be Included

10. Clock King

Warner Bros.

William Tockman was actually the subject of an easter egg in Arkham Knight, having owned a store (canonically) in that universe called 'Tockman's Antiques'.

And while that wee reference alone isn't enough to sell his inclusion for another Montreal prequel, the character's appearances in Batman: The Animated Series, Justice League and many other comics certainly do, with Alan Rachins' performance as the character having established a brilliant candidate for the role should he get the gaming treatment.

More importantly, however, is the villain's abilities, which are complimented by a suitably goofy aesthetic. Tockman (as the name would suggest), is a big fan of time, so much so that he can keep track of it like no other human and, apart from it serving him well in the pun department, it comes in handy when the going gets tough. In his first appearance on BTAS, the character was able to escape Batman by catching the right train, and he ensured the Suicide Squad successfully disabled the Watchtower by sticking to his very rigid schedule.

While that very serious attempt to hype him up has, for all intents and purposes, probably failed, Clock King would be a fine addition to the Arkhamverse. Give Batman some heists to foil, whether it be Bruce, Damian or Dick, and he'd be a surefire side-mission in the waiting.

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.
