Is one of the most infamous villains in Batman's history really dead in Arkham Knight? If you believed the events in Arkham City, it certainly appears that this is the case. What's important to remember here is that the fate of the Joker is incredibly hazy. It certainly looked like the Joker when Batman carried his body out at the climactic moments of Arkham City, but was it? If you cast your mind back to the climactic fight where the Joker is revealed to have been using Clayface as a decoy for most of the game, you may recall that there is a brief moment where Batman falls unconscious. Could it be possible that Clayface swapped places with the Joker once again at this point and somehow the Clown Prince of Crime escaped from the disease that was killing him during the game? I'm hoping that the Joker has at least a few more tricks up his sleeve in Arkham Knight. Even if he is really dead, it's more than possible his influence still exists and he has a few contingency plots in place for Batman to have to deal with. Did I miss out any of your favourite Batman villains you'd love to see in Arkham Knight? Perhaps you've got a thing for the Great White Shark, or would love a bit of Moth Man?
