As one of the few characters in the DC Universe capable of going physically toe-to-toe with Batman, Lady Shiva is an important character in the world of The Dark Knight. In the comics Shiva often functions as a trainer to many members of the Batman family.

Most notably, this is seen in the aftermath of the main Knightfall story arc, where Batman is nearly killed by Bane and then must be retrained by Shiva before reclaiming the mantle of Batman.

In a hypothetical Gotham appearance, Shiva could occupy a similar role, helping to accelerate a young Bruce Wayne's journey towards his destiny.

Adam Mohrbacher has been afflicted with an obession for film since his earliest memories. In addition to his work with WhatCulture, Adam has been a contributor with Filmophilia.com, FilmMonthly.com and Examiner.com. You can also check out his personal blog here: adammohrbacher@wordpress.com. A devoted fan of all film genres and styles, Adam gets equally giddy over the sensitive, existential musings of Ingmar Bergman, and the brawny brilliance of Arnold Schwartzenegger. He loves fish tacos and misses the work of Heath Ledger and Jack Lemmon on a daily basis.
