Batman: Arkham - Ranking EVERY Villain Worst To Best

Deadshot has never really been one of the A-listers of DC's baddie lineup, which, unfortunately, the Arkham series doesn't do a whole lot to change. In a world of shapeshifting mutants and immortal tyrants straight out of legend, is an expert marksman really all that special?

Floyd Lawton is one of Black Mask's eight assassins in Arkham Origins. What makes him dangerous is the apathy he holds for all living things, including himself. Diagnosed with clinical depression and suicidal tendencies, Deadshot doesn't care if he lives or dies, and with nothing to lose, he puts his all into every job he takes.

His role in Arkham Origins is, regrettably, mostly relegated to a side quest. He waits for Batman at Gotham Merchant's Bank, where he uses his bullet ricocheting skills to try and outsmart his opponent ("try" being the operative word).

Later, he shows up in Arkham City sporting a new look but fulfilling much of the same purpose. He's not the best villain, for sure, but he's still far from the worst.
