Batman: Arkham Knight - 10 Awesome Villains Who'll Steal The Show

Arkham Knight is mere months away now and speculation about the game is rife; Rocksteady are keeping their cards held tightly to their chests in a bid to prevent their grand finale from being ruined. There has been confirmation about some aspects of the game though. It will take place on Halloween with the Scarecrow taking the mantle of 'Main Villain' from the recently deceased Joker. In a bid to defeat Batman once and for all, Scarecrow has formed an alliance with Harley Quinn, The Riddler, The Penguin and Two-Face - all of whom have featured in the Arkham series before and no doubt want to see Batman dead and unmasked. That's a lot of bad guys but there's always room for more; after all, it's not like Batman doesn't have enough. For example, some of the evildoers introduced in the Arkham universe have plot threads and story-lines that need wrapping up; with Rocksteady saying goodbye to the series after Arkham Knight, there's little time left for these characters. Plus, there's always the opportunity for the team to surprise fans and reveal some new, previously unseen foes for Batman, creating shocks which will stick with everyone for a good long time. With The Joker dead and buried (though returns can never be ruled out in comic book properties) and the identity of the titular Arkham Knight still a complete mystery (officially anyway), there's opportunities for these new and old antagonists to rise up and steal the spotlight - to become the new fan favourite villain. Some of the inclusions here are based on mere speculation but, along with the already confirmed appearances, they could easily steal the show and give fans engaging encounters and lasting memories which will ensure Rocksteady's premier series is remembered as one of gaming's greatest.
