Batman Arkham Knight: 10 Characters Who Could Be The Arkham Knight

7. Joe Chill

Right, so stick with us on this one, because it's not quite as crazy as you might think. That's not true, it's totally ridiculous, but it's no less ridiculous than things that have actually happened in the Batman comics. Joe Chill in most versions of Bruce Wayne's tragic origin story is the two-bit crook who killed the future Batman's parents in a bungled alleyway mugging. And Batman would later team up with him. Yep, in 1987 storyline Year Two - there's a reason you don't hear about it as much as Year One - Batman is forced into working with Chill when he strikes a deal with a Gotham gang in the light of another much more murderous vigilante who's been taking a significant chunk out of the city's criminal population. Chill is the guy the bosses pick to help the Caped Crusader to take this other vigilante down, and Bats accepts the alliance as a necessary evil. If Batman in the games has a similarly uneasy co-existence with the Arkham Knight, it could well be Chill. It probably won't or shouldn't be. But it might!
