Batman: Arkham - Ranking EVERY Villain Worst To Best

15. Deathstroke

Arkham Origins is commonly regarded by fans as the weakest in the series, and, for the most part, their reasoning is well-founded. Like Bane, however, there are certain characters who are given a far better role in this game than any of its successors. And Deathstroke is one of them.

A stand-out moment in Origins is the duel between Batman and Slade Wilson, unquestionably the deadliest of the eight assassins to answer Black Mask's call. The fight is extremely fast-paced and evenly matched, making the one-eyed super-soldier feel like a truly worthy opponent.

So you can imagine fans' disappointment when Deathstroke shows up again in Arkham Knight, expressing his eagerness to go toe-to-toe with the Bat again, only to chase him around in a tank for a bit and get KO'ed after one punch.

Granted, he's not as young as he used to be, but shouldn't such a legendary assassin fight with a little more honour than that?
