Batman Arkham Knight: 10 Characters Who Could Be The Arkham Knight
9. Vigilante
If that is the way the character's gonna go, then this new vigilante policing Gotham's streets could in fact be...well, Vigilante. An unimaginatively literal name masks a surprisingly convoluted history, though for the most part everyone who's had the Vigilante name in the DC universe has been pretty similar in their "heroic" activities, if not their origin stories. Except the one who was a cowboy and - as much as we'd love a taste of the Old West in the Arkham series - he's almost definitely not the Arkham Knight. The most recent incarnation is Dorian Chase, a former member of the Mafia who sheds identities like a snake going through a particularly difficult bout of puberty and has tangled with the Teen Titans and Nightwing when he isn't trotting around the globe shooting organised crime bosses in the face. That's something Batman would tend to frown upon, if you could see him frown beneath the mask, anyway.
