Batman: Arkham Knight - 12 Details In The Trailers You Totally Missed
10. The Arkham Knight's Crew
Like most other supervillains, the Arkham Knight looks as if he has his own personal workforce of goons. Taken from the Ace Chemical infiltration trailer, we can clearly see that the criminals Batman breaks the faces of are sporting a similar colour scheme and outfit to everyone's favourite new mysterious supervillain. They're even sporting what looks like the Arkham symbol on their clothing. Although this probably doesn't mean too much in terms of the overall plot, we know that the Knight clearly has access to vast resources, implying funding from some serious benefactors. Given that his main partner, Scarecrow, was thrown into a sewer and ravaged by Killer Croc in the previous game, we can pretty much guess that he won't have access to vast funds, plus the military technology we've seen the Knight using as Batman fights unmanned tanks using the Batmobile. Is there another villain pulling the strings from behind the veil of Scarecrow and the Knight? With both the Joker and Ra'as Al Ghul apparently - spoilers - dead at the end of Arkham Knight, who else from Batman's vast array of enemies might be making a play? Could someone like the Riddler be stepping up to do more than leave little trophies for Batman to find? Are the League of Assassins perhaps employing the use of Damian Wayne - Batman and Talia's son - as an armour-plated, masked killing machine?
