Batman Arkham Reboot: 10 Villains Who MUST Appear

2. Prometheus

Batman Mask of the Phantasm
DC Comics

Prometheus is one of the strongest fighters in the DC universe who would absolutely give Batman a run for his money. The Batman of the Arkham universe has been fated to eventually fight him from the start. This is because he is one of many villains who were featured in a character bio in Arkham Asylum that has yet to actually appear in the series.

He would probably be one of the toughest boss fights in the whole series. He has total mastery of both melee weapons and firearms. He has an incredibly strong suit of armor. He is adept at hand-to-hand combat. His intelligence is on par with that of Batman.

In many ways, Prometheus is an evil reflection of Batman. His parents were also gunned down in front of him when he was a child, and he also made a promise to himself then that defined the rest of his life. However, his parents were not killed by a criminal like the Waynes were. They were killed by police officers, which motivated him to dedicate his life to combating the law in all ways possible.

Batman would meet his match in Prometheus, in more ways than one. They are equally skilled but they also share thematic similarities. Prometheus would make for a thrilling fight, and he would also make for a complex examination of what made Batman into the man he is.
