Batman: Arkham Insurgency - 10 Villains That Must Be Included
5. Harvey Dent
DC Comics
While he wouldn't be a villain per se, Harvey Dent has to get an appearance in Insurgency. It's too great an opportunity to pass up.
The fact of the matter is that the Dent of the Arkham series has been fairly one-dimensional, robbing banks and providing an ersatz version of Jekyll and Hyde that, by all means, has been criminally misused. That could change with Insurgency however, especially if Montreal were to pull a Long Halloween and really flesh out the character's years as Gotham's District Attorney, buoyed by a strong relationship with Batman and James Gordon.
Recent interpretations of the mythos have done well to shy away from origin stories, owing to the fact that most fans are familiar with the material at this point, but one can't help but wonder what an Arkhamised version of Dent's rise and fall would look like.
Montreal already did well with the Joker in Origins, so the thought of them getting their hands on Dent is an exciting one indeed.
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.
