Currently, there are many storylines, screenshots, plot details, latest bat-suit features and other news running around the internet. The topic that faces the largest amount of speculation is the one regarding the Arkham Knight. There have been many rumors suggesting who the Arkham Knight is. Who will be a major villain in Batman Arkham Knight?
Rumors indicate that the Joker could emerge as the Arkham Knight, which would surprisingly be a boon for the Batman Arkham series by Rocksteady. Gamers could end up with a venom-pumped up Joker, who has honed his skills during the timeline between Arkham City and Knight, ready to challenge Batman, once and for all. It would certainly be an ending most gamers would rejoice with.
Like the Joker, gamers could certainly bet their money on Hush. Being a child of wealth like Bruce Wayne, he killed his abusive father and seriously injured his mother cutting off their car’s brakes. In the Arkham City side mission, gamers learnt that Hush has a secret grudge against Wayne, and wishes to destroy him completely.
He murders people with a close resemblance to Wayne, removes their faces and adds new features, through skin grafting. Sharing almost the same kind of physique, he could end up as a formidable foe in Batman Arkham Knight.
Jason Todd could also be the Arkham Knight. He served as a once loyal sidekick to Batman, also known as the second Robin. He ended up being murdered by Joker and later resurrected via an intervention through Ra’s Al Ghul and his well-known Lazarus Pit.
Todd swore revenge upon Joker and also at the same time, getting rid of all scum from the face of Gotham City. He is yet to make any form of appearance in any of the Arkham Games. However, he was once mentioned by Joker in a rather tantalizing manner.
He mistakes Tim Drake’s Robin as Jason Todd and inquires, “Didn’t I kill you already?” Subtle hints like that might pave the way to a whole new character chosen to be the nemesis in Arkham Knight.
Azrael and Amadeus Arkham could also feature as the main villain in the upcoming game, Azrael, as the roof-stalker, has been portrayed in the previous game, especially where he delivers a creepy message to Batman.
It’s a tricky situation concerning Todd’s appearance in the upcoming Arkham Knight: Red Hood DLC. He is considered to be a cop-criminal-supernatural-vigilante with a similar physique to Batman.
He is also known to have taken up the cowl after the scenario where Bane break’s off Batman’s back. It was not sure whether his message for Batman was of a positive nature, or it portrayed more of an evil setting for the upcoming game.
