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

3. Deathstroke

Okay, joking aside we all did play Arkham Origins. And that was at least partly down to the appearance of Deathstroke; the cold-blooded hit man who's been taking potshots at superheroes in the DCU for eons. In Origins he's one of nine assassins hired to kill Batman, and easily the most memorable - which is why he was the character who appeared in the game's post-credits scene, being recruited to the Suicide Squad; a government team of supervillains who get sent on deadly covert missions. In the same game, Deathstroke stated he had no interest in going after Batman again unless he was hired to. So, supposing he is? The Suicide Squad thing might not have worked out for him - although he was clearly busy with something, since he never turns up in Arkham Asylum nor City - and so he gets sent for a second round against the Caped Crusader, with equipment more suited to the task.
