Batman: Arkham Insurgency - 10 Villains That Must Be Included

6. Falcone And Maroni

Despite having his name plastered around everywhere from Asylum onwards, Don Carmine Falcone has yet to make a full appearance in a mainstream Arkham title, receiving his first (physical) look in Arkham Underworld, a mobile spin-off released in 2016.

It's about time he got a fully fledged appearance however, particularly with a title set in the formative years of Batman's career. The mob are an integral part of that period in Batman's life, and the Falcones had a massive part to play in both Year One and The Long Halloween - two of the Dark Knight's most seminal storylines.

Certainly, Alberto Falcone (Carmine's son) had a brief cameo in Origins as a victim of the Penguin, so a follow-up appearance should, surely, include the rest of his family.

Then there are the Maronis, the would-be kings of Gotham's criminal underworld. They often go toe-to-toe with Falcone, and we've yet to see a full on classic mob war in the Arkhamverse. Considering how Origins planted the seeds for the old order - ruled by the Falcones and the Maronis of the world - to fall away, it's now or never for them to get an inclusion, in what will, imaginably, be their last desperate play to maintain the status quo.

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.
