Batman: Arkham - Ranking EVERY Villain Worst To Best

The influence of the League of Assassins in Gotham is widespread indeed. And Lady Shiva, a high-ranking member of the League who trained the likes of Richard Dragon and Nyssa Raatko, was behind Quincy Sharp's reopening of Arkham Asylum, effectively setting in motion the majority of events in the Arkhamverse.

In person, however, she's only seen in Arkham Origins, before any of these events came to pass. The last of Black Mask's eight assassins, Shiva isn't as concerned with the fifty-million-dollar bounty as she is with testing Batman on behalf of her master, Ra's al Ghul.

The trials she puts the Dark Knight through eventually culminate in a trial by combat between Batman and her Elite guard (herself included). Batman passes the test and comes out on top, but Shiva allows him to live, silently convinced that he is the one her master has been looking for even in spite of his 'no killing' rule.

After this, Shiva is never seen again, which, considering how much of a behind-the-scenes driving force she is in the series, is both surprising and something of a disappointment.
