Batman: Arkham - Ranking EVERY Villain Worst To Best

37. Solomon Grundy

Batman Arkham city mr freeze
Warner Bros.

He was born on a Monday, christened on Tuesday, married on Wednesday...and killed on whatever day you happened to be playing the game.

Cursed with an eternal seven-day cycle of birth, death and burial, Cyrus Gold is over a hundred years old, and kept as a kind of pet in the basement of the Penguin's nightclub, The Iceberg Lounge. Batman, poisoned by the Joker, seeks Penguin out in search of a cure, and in doing so is lured right into Solomon Grundy's lair.

As boss fights in the Arkham series go, this is arguably one of the better ones. His fiery chains can pick off an unprepared player in just a few swings, and Batman's quickfire gadget mechanics, new for Arkham City, really prove their worth here.

But aside from that, there's really not much else to him. His only smidgeon of cognisance is in reciting the 'Solomon Grundy' rhyme over and over again. Batman can even get away with killing him and keep his one rule intact, as the hulking zombie eventually just comes back to life.
