[[caption-width-right:350:''"Oppressed citizens of Gotham, your cries for help have been heard! I am Anarky -- voice of the people -- here to save you from the plague of corruption that now infests this once proud city!"'']]
->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/MatthewMercer [[labelnote:Other voice actors]]Hervé Grull (Fr), Maurizio Merluzzo (It)[[/labelnote]]

'''ComicBook/{{Anarky}}''' is a genius criminal who attempts to subvert the government and establish anarchism, believing it will improve society.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: As noted under "Age Lift", he debuted shortly before Tim Drake took up the mantle of Robin in the comics (one month in real time). Here, he's active while Bruce is still in his second year as Batman.
* AdaptationalVillainy: In the comics, most of Anarky's actions were targeted at specific individuals, and although some of his actions put his targets in critical condition, he wasn't a killer and he would avoid collateral damage. In ''Origins'', Anarky plans to blow up buildings connected to what he believes are the root problems of society, and he's unconcerned with who might get hurt in the process. He's also portrayed as somewhat less rational than his comic book counterpart. You probably wouldn't hear the comic Anarky ranting against soft drinks, for example.
* AgeLift: In the comics, Anarky was 12 when he debuted and this was around the same time Tim Drake was 14 and just starting out as Robin. In the ''Arkham'' universe, he's a teenager during the events of ''Origins'' and by implication, should be older than Drake.
* AntiVillain: He [[WellIntentionedExtremist genuinely wants to help Gotham,]] but he believes that it is possible [[BombThrowingAnarchists to use any means]] to do so.
* BlackAndWhiteInsanity: He has a really quick way to judge who are evil, for example he believes Bruce Wayne own the city and his parents got killed by karma.
* BrokenPedestal: For Batman, during the final confrontation.
* BombThrowingAnarchists: Has bombs set up at three key locations in Gotham, which Batman must disarm. Taken more literally when in the fight against him, since he spends most of the fight on a balcony lobbing {{Molotov Cocktail}}s at Batman before leaping down to join the fray.
* CharacterFilibuster: He just ''loves'' to give these -- especially after he's apprehended.
* DoNotAdjustYourSet: How he introduces himself to Batman. He even lampshades this at the end of his announcement, telling the populace that he'll let them get back to their regularly scheduled "propaganda and consummerist garbage".
* DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything: His design in ''Origins'' was specifically made to evoke images of the modern "street protester"; it's all topped off by an expressionless mask, much like the infamous Guy Fawkes mask popularized by ''ComicBook/VForVendetta'' and [[Website/FourChan Anonymous]].
* EvilCounterpart: To Barbara Gordon. Both of them are highly intelligent individuals who vocally hate the corruption in Gotham, make efforts to fix it and see Batman as a hero for doing the same. However, while Barbara just points Batman towards some illegal gun deals and eventually becomes Batgirl and later Oracle, Anarky becomes a full-blown terrorist and eventually rejects Batman.
* TheGhost: Only has a mention in ''Arkham Knight'' where his trademark vest is on display in the evidence locker. According to Cash, he hasn't been seen since the events in ''Origins'', and nobody knows where he's being kept, though Cash himself speculates that his terrorist bombing efforts led the federal government to intervene in his imprisonment. Some of the random thugs wonder if anyone has seen him around during the riot and say he’d love the chaos.
* GivenNameReveal: His name is listed as "unknown" in ''Arkham Origins'', but in ''Arkham Knight'' his real name in the comics is revealed in Cash's audio logs.
* HoldingOutForAHero: Accuses Batman of encouraging this in Gotham.
-->"You keep cleaning up after everyone, Batman, and no one's going to learn to take care of themselves. The ones that don't hate you - they'll start to rely on you. Depend on you. And if something happens to you? If you get old, or bored, Or die? ''Then'' what?"
* IJustWantToBeYou: He confesses that he became Anarky to try and be like his idol, Batman.
* IcyBlueEyes: [[spoiler: When Batman unmasks him, he gives him a DeathGlare with cold, emotionless blue eyes.]]
* InTheHood: He and his men all have hoods to help disguise themselves along with their masks.
* JustAKid: [[spoiler: Batman calls him this when unmasked. However, he looks more like a teenager rather than a young kid.]]
* KingOfTheHomeless: He's known to be a protector of Gotham's homeless population, and it's mentioned that some of his men are vagrants recruited off the streets.
* {{Malevolent Masked M|en}}an: A creepy white mask to help hide his identity.
* MisaimedFandom: InUniverse. WordOfGod describes him, aside from being an anarchist, as a Batman fan.
* MoodSwinger: Especially upon his defeat, where his constant changes in opinion make him seem to have borderline personality disorder.
* MotorMouth: He just seems naturally prone to making speeches lamenting the evils of consumerism.
* PutOnABusToHell: In ''Arkham Knight'', if Aaron Cash's theory is correct, Anarky was moved to ''Federal prison''. Or somewhere ''much worse''...
* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Aside from his white mask and a white anarchy symbol, his outfit is red and black.
* ShockAndAwe: He joins the fight against Batman with an electric stun baton, seemingly as a reference to the electricity-firing golden scepter that he uses in the comics continuity.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Anarky is referenced quite often in ''Arkham Knight'' despite the fact that he was never seen or heard from again following the events of ''Arkham Origins''.
* TeensAreMonsters: [[spoiler:As Batman learns after apprehending him, he's just a teenager, despite all of his rhetoric involving anarchy and bombing tactics.]]
* VagueAge: [[spoiler: Although Batman says he's only a kid, he looks like a teenager, but the player can't tell exactly how old he is when looking at his face.]]
* VillainHasAPoint: During his CharacterFilibuster, Anarky makes some valid points about the state of Gotham and Batman's relationship with it... at least, until his mood swings kick in and he begins to contradict himself.
* VillainousBreakdown: After Batman rejects his [[WeCanRuleTogether proposition]], he becomes more than a little unhinged.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Offers an alliance with Batman to clean up Gotham. After Batman refuses, cue VillainousBreakdown.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: He really believes tearing down the government and establishing anarchy would be a good thing. He's also gained a reputation as the protector of Gotham's homeless population.
* WhiteMaskOfDoom: He and his men wear expressionless white masks.
* XtremeKoolLetterz: "Anarky", not "Anarchy". [[spoiler:Justified, as he's a teenager.]]

-->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/ChristianLanz [[labelnote:Other voice actors]]Nessym Guétat (Fr), Federico Zanandrea (It)[[/labelnote]]

'''Bird''' is one of Bane's lieutenants and came with him to Gotham during the Christmas' Eve Incident. Little is known of his past, but rumors are that he was born and raised in Peña Duro like Bane.

* AdaptationalDyeJob: He's blonde in the comics, but what hair he does have in ''Arkham Origins'' is brown.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Like Bane, his comic counterpart debuted after Tim Drake became the third Robin--and this version first fought Bruce in his second year as Batman.
* AdaptationalUgliness: In the comics, Bird was a fairly decent looking man with long blond hair. In ''Origins'', he's a homely, balding, tattooed brunette.
* BaldOfEvil: The top of his head is bald.
* TheDragon: To Bane.
* InNameOnly: The Bird from the comics is a falconer with long blonde hair, whereas the Bird in ''Origins'' is a balding brunette in body armor.
* NumberTwo: Implied, to Bane.
* RaceLift: Previously depicted as a blond Caucasian and a former resident of Gotham City, this incarnation is a Hispanic native of Santa Prisca.
* TattooedCrook: He sports a design around his mouth of bullets arranged into wing patterns, with similar decals on his arms and head.

-->'''Voiced by:''' Masasa Moyo [[labelnote:Other voice actors]]Laura Préjean (Fr), Loretta Di Pisa (It)[[/labelnote]]

'''Candy''' was raised on the streets, but managed to pull herself up and earn a business degree. Unfortunately, lean times and a contracting job market caused her to fall in with Penguin's Crowd. The recession has driven many well educated people to take desperate action to support themselves, but that's no excuse for criminal behavior. Her crimes are minor, however, making her an excellent candidate for rehabilitation.

* AffablyEvil: Aside from her sarcastic flirting with Alberto Falcone, she's quite considerate for one of Penguin's workers. Her character bio even suggests that she might have reformed her criminal ways some time after the events of ''Origins.''
* BlackBossLady: As the second-in-command to Penguin (a position she shares with Tracey), she is in charge of Penguin's henchman when Cobblepot himself is not around.
* CanonForeigner: Didn't appear in the comics.
* CoDragons: With Tracey for Penguin.
* FallenOnHardTimesJob: It's mentioned in her character bio that she works for Penguin because it's the only job she can get.
* LittleBlackDress: In contrast to Tracey's white one.
* MsFanservice: Seemingly one of her jobs, as evidenced by her flirting with Alberto Falcone while Cobblepot is torturing him.
* OnlyOneName: Unlike Tracey, her last name is unknown.
* PaidHarem: A member of Penguin's.
* PunchClockVillain: She doesn't seem to enjoy watching Penguin hurt people, but does take account of how he does so and why.
* SassyBlackWoman: Downplayed. While she does have some of the common characteristics of this trope--such as referring to Tracey as "sista" and sarcastically flirting with Alberto Falcone--she's not an overt stereotype of black women.
* SexySecretary: Acts as Penguin's secretary, and serves in his PaidHarem, as shown in her last scene.

'''Tracey Buxton''' is one of Penguin's allies during the Christmas' Eve Incident.

* CanonForeigner: Created for the Arkhamverse.
* {{Claustrophobia}}: She claims to be claustrophobic when Batman locks her up, but she's likely lying to try and get him to release her.
* CoDragons: With Candy for Penguin.
* CuteButCacophonic: She is a stunning blonde with a grating voice and heavy Cockney accent.
* MsFanservice: Seemingly one of her main jobs.
* PaidHarem: A member of Penguin's.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: As with her boss, Tracey has shown an ugly homophobic streak, calling the Penguin's men "ponces".
* PunnyName: "Buxton" sounds like "Buxom". Also doubles as a MeaningfulName since she is quite well-endowed.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Penguin.

[[folder:Copperhead]]

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/RosaSalazar [[labelnote:Other voice actors]]Hélène Bizot (Fr), Creator/DonatellaFanfani (It)[[/labelnote]]

'''Copperhead''' is an internationally known assassin suspected to operate out of Guatemala whose identity is shrouded in mystery. Reports of both male and female Copperheads have surfaced, leading to the authorities believing that it is either a group operating under a single name or a floating moniker. What all the reports agree on is that Copperhead is deadly and skilled, leaving a trail of victims dead by asphyxiation, [[NeckSnap broken necks]], and exotic poisons. Early in Batman's career, a female Copperhead was one of eight assassins who accepted a 50 million dollar bounty offered by Black Mask to kill the vigilante on Christmas Eve.

* AdaptationalAttractiveness: This Copperhead is probably the hottest version of the character.
* AdaptationalBadass: Most incarnations of Copperhead are incompetent villains who lose easily. This version is a skilled tracker and fighter.
* AffirmativeActionGirl: Perhaps one of the reasons for the GenderFlip: if Copperhead were to remain male, then Shiva would be the [[TheSmurfettePrinciple only female]] in the group.
* AmbiguouslyHuman: It's unclear whether her reptilian eyes are some sort of genetic mutation, or whether they are simply colored contacts.
* AnimalMotifs: The snake, naturally.
* BreakTheHaughty: After spending most of her screen time acting like a SmugSnake, Batman overcomes her poison, beats her, and captures her in a crate left for the police, putting an end to her assassin career.
* CanonImmigrant: This Copperhead was bought over to the comics as part of ComicBook/DCRebirth.
* ComicBookFantasyCasting: Copperhead looks a lot like Music/MileyCyrus.
* {{Contortionist}}: In keeping with the comics version and her SheFu style.
* DarkActionGirl: She's quite deadly, to say the least.
* EvilLaugh: When Batman starts hallucinating from the poison, her apparition does this to toy with him.
* FemmeFatalons: Logic aside, her razor-sharp, poison-tipped talons are her go-to method while murdering.
* GenderFlip: Copperhead is traditionally male, but is seen here as a female, though Batman notes how the reports are of a male, hinting that this Copperhead is a LegacyCharacter.
* GratuitousSpanish: Not to the same extent as Bane, but she occasionally hurls insults in Spanish at Batman, calling him "Pendejo" ([[ToiletHumor "Pubes",]] though contextually "dickhead"), and "Cabrón" (meaning literally "male goat", but contextually "asshole").
** One of her Game Over quotes is almost entirely un-translated Spanish.[[note]]"''Lo siento'', Batman, ''pero mi veneno es la muerte''." In English: "Sorry, Batman, but my poison is death."[[/note]]
* HellBentForLeather: Adding to the overall snake theme.
* IWorkAlone: Like Deathstroke, she doesn't have any henchmen.
* LegacyCharacter: Batman himself notes that all the information he has is on the male Copperhead, lampshading that this Copperhead is a new villain.
* MsFanservice: She appears to be this trope at first. [[FanDisservice Her snake tongue, creepy eyes, and primal instinct ruin it for most players]], [[NightmareFetishist but not all]].
* MurderousThighs: The very first thing she's shown doing in Penguin's security footage is leaping onto her would-be captor, snapping his neck and arm with a hard jerk. She can also ensnare Batman during combat, though he has the ability to break free.
* NavelDeepNeckline: Her outfit has a plunging neckline that just barely reaches her midsection.
* PoisonousPerson: She can secrete poison from her claws that causes powerful psychotropic hallucinogens before death. As seen on a workbench in the Ace Chemicals factory in ''Knight'', Scarecrow somehow got his hands on a vial of it and synthesized the isolated hallucinogenic component, as an addition for his refined Fear Toxin.
* PrisonEscapeArtist: According to available data, the individual known as "Copperhead" has 14 escapes on their record, though how many can be attributed to her in particular is unknown. She certainly seems to have no trouble [[SlippedTheRopes getting out of handcuffs]].
* ProfessionalKiller: She's an internationally renowned assassin.
* RaceLift: Copperhead is white in the comics. This version is Latina.
* SheFu: A contortionist who utilizes her skills in combat.
* SirSwearsALot: She frequently uses Spanish obscenities.
* SmarterThanYouLook: While she's somewhat feral in her mannerisms, she naturally knows a great deal about poisons and their effect on human physiology, including the symptoms of necroptosis. [[spoiler:She's also clever enough to realize that despite Roman's offer to pay her for killing Batman, any influence he once had has been waylaid by the Joker's scheme.]]
* SmugSnake: Pun aside, she seems quite confident that Batman will succumb to her poison, and enjoys toying with him in his delirious state.
* SnakePeople: She mostly looks human, but has a forked tongue, slit pupils, and venom.
* StatuesqueStunner: She stands at 5'10", making her the tallest woman in ''Origins''.
* {{Stripperific}}: In one of the extortion tapes a thug is shown a picture of her and he remarks that "she's wearin' nothing but ink!"
* TattooedCrook: Copperhead sports several tattoos on her body.
* WhyWontYouDie: Gets increasingly frustrated as Batman continues to resist her poison.
* WolverineClaws: Sports a pair on each of her wristguards.

->'''Voiced by:''' Larry Grimm (''Arkham City Lockdown''), Creator/MarkRolston (''Arkham Origins'', ''Arkham Knight'') [[labelnote:Other voice actors]]Bernard Bollet (Fr), Creator/ClaudioMoneta (It)[[/labelnote]]

'''ComicBook/{{Deathstroke}}''' is one of the most lethal assassins in the world, and one of eight people hired by Black Mask to kill Batman on Christmas Eve.

* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: In the comics, Deathstroke debuted during the ''New Teen Titans'' era and thus when Dick is in college. This version first appears when Bruce is in his second year as Batman.
* AdaptationalWimp: In most incarnations, Slade is a [[KnightOfCerebus dark, serious villain]] who is too hard to take down. He is stated to be and clearly show as superhuman who is at least 10 times stronger than an average person with enhanced senses, a HealingFactor, AcquiredPoisonImmunity, and other physical enhancements that put him above and beyond normal people. In ''Origins'', he loses to an inexperienced Batman ([[ThatOneBoss although he's easily the hardest boss in the game]]) while it's implied that the experiment that enhanced him only pushed his body to the peak of human ability like the comic version of ComicBook/CaptainAmerica and in ''Knight'', [[spoiler:he's taken down in one punch after losing his tank.]]
* AffablyEvil: In ''Knight''. When interacting with the other main villains in the holding cell, he is the most friendly and least confrontational of the lot. He tells Firefly of the beauty of napalm at night, gives Penguin some fighting tips, barely reacts to Riddler's boasting, and tells Pyg of a man he think he'd get along with. That last one is especially notable, as no other character in the game reacts to Pyg with anything other than revulsion - even the [[spoiler:''Joker hallucination'']] thinks he's irreparably nuts.
* AndYourRewardIsClothes: His alternate costumes in ''Origins'' include his classic comic book costume and his ''VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs'' costume.
* ArrogantKungFuGuy: He's quite confident in his abilities, with good reason. While he's generally respectful toward Batman, he makes it clear that the mooks he goes up against in challenge mode are far beneath him.
* AscendedExtra: Makes an appearance as a single short boss opponent in ''Arkham City: Lockdown''. He appears in ''VideoGame/BatmanArkhamOrigins'' with a more plot heavy role including TheStinger, where he's seemingly given an offer by Amanda Waller to join the Suicide Squad, as well as being a playable character in challenge maps.
* BeardOfEvil: As seen when he's unmasked, he sports a bushy goattee.
* BloodKnight: While his primary motivation is money, some of his comments imply that he enjoys combat for its own sake.
* BoomStick: He initially appears to have a simple staff, but it doubles as his rifle.
* ConsummateProfessional: In ''Knight'', despite the fact that [[spoiler:the Arkham Knight is dealt with]] by the time you meet him, Slade states that since he took payment in advance, he's professionally obligated to fulfill his contract to kill Batman.
* CoolMask: As is tradition, wears his iconic half-orange half-black mask, though he loses it during the boss battle.
* CoolSword: Wields two custom katanas.
* CostumeInertia: Despite the ten year gap between ''Origins'' and ''Knight'', Deathstroke wears the same black and orange armor in both games, making him the only character in the Arkhamverse to appear in multiple games without undergoing a costume change (unless you count ''Lockdown'' as canon). The only visible differences being that A) Both ribbons on the back of the mask are orange in ''Knight'' [[note]]in ''Origins'', one was orange, the other was blue[[/note]]. B) The mask is visibly damaged from where Batman busted it during their fight on the ''Final Offer'', and C) The armor doesn't fit him as well, likely because Slade would be 55 at this point and likely shrunk a bit due to his old age.
* TheDragon: He becomes this to Scarecrow in ''Arkham Knight'' [[spoiler:after the Arkham Knight pulls a HeelFaceTurn.]]
* DuelBoss: He fights Batman one-on-one, with no mooks interfering at any point of the battle, nor does he use any fancy gimmicks outside of his own arsenal, which is comparable to Batman's.
** FlunkyBoss: In ''Knight'' however, he's backed up by several drones that you must take out before you can safely deal with Slade himself.
* EmpoweredBadassNormal: The files state he was an able mercenary, before he partook on the military experiment which made him a [[WorthyOpponent match]] [[LightningBruiser for Batman]]
* EyepatchOfPower: Downplayed, but it's evident by his mask that he's, like his comic counterpart, willing to show his status as having one eye by only making one eyehole.
* GoneHorriblyRight: As Batman notes in ''Origins'', Slade got his unique skill set via a "failed military experiment". He notes this whilst he and Alfred watch footage of Slade in action showing him acrobatically taking down an entire group of men all in a single strike within ''seconds''.
-->'''Alfred:''' "Failed" you say?
* GunNut: If his dialogue with Azrael in ''Arkham Knight'' is anything to go by.
-->'''Azrael:''' You kill for money, old man. I kill for God!\\
'''Deathstroke:''' M4 Carbine. 9 inch barrel assembly, high res optical scope with rail interface. That's my god.
* HandicappedBadass: Only having one eye doesn't make Deathstroke any less dangerous.
* HealingFactor: Has a minor one as part of his metabolism. If you listen to to certain comments by the Arkham Knight militia they mention that whilst Slade might get injured occasionally during sparring sessions with the troops (though usually dealing far more than he receives), unlike them, Slade's injuries healed up in next to no time.
* HollywoodAtheist: Downplayed. Slade's rather dismissive of Deacon Blackfire and [[spoiler:Azrael]] and the dialogue makes it clear that he does not believe in gods, but he doesn't outright insult their beliefs like Riddler does.
-->(To Blackfire): "My soul doesn't need saving, preacher man. I sold it a long time ago."\\
(To Azrael): "M4 Carbine, 9 inch barrel assembly, high-res optical scope with rail interface. [[BlasphemousPraise That's my God]]."
* {{Hypocrite}}: He tells Batman how "the man I fought didn't hide in a car", but during his boss battle he drives a tank. He also shows some disrespect toward the Arkham Knight for acting out of personal reason alone, but after he's beaten he tells Batman that he won't need payment next time, because now it's personal.
* IWorkAlone: Unlike most of the other major villains in ''Origins'', Deathstroke has no henchmen to back him up while he hunts Batman down. This isn't the case in ''Knight'' as he has [[spoiler:The Arkham Knight's militia]] under his command.
* ItsPersonal: He initially only goes after Batman for the money in ''Origins'', and tells him as such that he won't be coming after him again unless someone pays him. In ''Knight'', however, he's not only being paid to kill Batman once again, but he's taken a special interest since discovering Batman's fighting skills, saying after his defeat that once he grows to "respect" an opponent, he needs no other incentives to try to destroy them; he even claims that the next time he comes after him, it'll be of his own accord.
* {{Jerkass}}: He’s one huge douchebag. In his boss fight in Arkham Origins, he spends most of his time taunting Batman about his [[YouFightLikeACow inferior fighting skills]]. In Arkham City Lockdown, he hints having BadBoss tendencies to his {{Mooks}}, as seen when he used one as bait, and killed him once he’s lured Batman. In Arkham Knight, he’s no different as he still constantly taunts Batman and acts like a SoreLoser when the Dark Knight defeats him and sends him to GCPD.
* LackOfEmpathy: He'll kill anyone as long as he's paid for the deed.
* LightningBruiser: He is as strong as Batman and possibly even faster.
* MasterSwordsman: He's very good with those blades of his.
* MixAndMatchWeapon: His staff in ''Arkham Origins'' also functions as a silenced rifle.
* MultiMeleeMaster: Even excluding his gadgets, he's an excellent gunslinger and wields with equal skill both a staff and a sword.
* OldSoldier:By the time of ''Arkham Knight'' he's approaching his late 50s and still physically active, being decades older than Batman.
* OnlyInItForTheMoney: Makes it very clear he's only interested in the bounty in ''Origins''; when they meet again at Blackgate, his cell door unlocked but shut, he outright states he's not interested in fighting, unless someone else puts another bounty on Batman's head. Part of the reason he didn't return before ''Knight'' is that it took this long for someone to amass enough money to be worth his time.
* PragmaticVillainy: At the end of ''Origins''. When [[spoiler:Joker takes over Blackgate and causes widespread rioting and destruction]], Slade just stays in his cell and quietly works out. He doesn't care about the conflict because he can't profit from it and tells Batman that he has nothing to worry about from him anymore.
* ProfessionalKiller: Comes with being an assassin.
* PromotedToPlayable: He's initially a boss in ''Arkham City: Lockdown'', and becomes playable in the challenge mode in ''Origins''.
* PunchClockVillain: In ''Origins'' after he is defeated and imprisoned in Blackgate, he doesn't bother trying to take advantage of the prison riot to even leave his cell. In his words, since the bounty on Batman turned out to be fake, he has no reason to fight him anymore.
* RedemptionDemotion: While he's hardly redeemed, the DLC's playable Deathstoke lacks much of the arsenal the boss version has, losing lethal weapons like his sword and guns. He's still effective without it, and this was likely a balancing issue as combat maps would have been a cakewalk if he could just stab and shoot his way through everyone. Likely justified InUniverse as his way of showing he doesn't ''need'' his lethal weapons to be successful.
* RoguesGalleryTransplant: While he's always been Nightwing's ArchEnemy, he's usually a ComicBook/TeenTitans villain, and lately a ComicBook/GreenArrow one. The latter is referenced in the debut trailer for ''Origins'', as the IncrediblyObviousBomb he uses is in a box labeled "Queen".
* {{Sadist}}: States that he’ll slit Batman’s throat and watch him bleed to his death.
* TheSociopath: He is definitely one by Arkham Knight, there is one instance where he threatens to slit Batman's throat and watch him bleed to death.
* SuperSoldier: Used as a military test subject to physically enhance his strength, speed and reflexes. It worked and afterwards Slade went freelance.
* SuperStrength: Downplayed, but still present in his challenge maps. Unlike other playable characters in the series who need to put physical effort into removing grates so they can use vents, Deathstroke is capable of just tearing them off without even trying.
* TankGoodness: In ''Knight'', he has a tank of his own to deal with the Batmobile.
* TheVietnamVet: Like his comics incarnation, this version of Deathstroke served in Vietnam in special forces. This is mentioned prominently in 'Knight'', when he compares Batman to a particularly troublesome Vietcong member.
* VillainDecay: In ''Origins'', Batman defeated him within his first two years as a vigilante, but he still put up a good fight, whereas in ''Knight'', [[spoiler:he was knocked out with a OneHitKO]]. This even gets a lampshade.
-->"So at what point does "World's Greatest Assassin" become false advertising?"
** Possibly justified by his mini-story available in the game: Deathstroke's loss to Batman back in ''Origins'' left him suffering recurring nightmares, involuntary muscle spasms and a nervous twitch. Bluster all he likes, Slade is still scared of Batman.
* VillainForgotToLevelGrind: How he's soundly beaten in ''Knight''. While Batman has improved his fighting ability and gear over the years, Slade mostly retains the same skills and paraphernalia from the beginning.
* VillainProtagonist: He's a downloadable character for the challenge mode in ''Origins''.
* VillainousBreakdown: During the final phase of his ''Origins'' boss fight, he screams "DIE!!!" just before unleashing his flurry attack.
* WakeUpCallBoss: Killer Croc is manageable and The Electrocutioner is a ZeroEffortBoss and CurbStompBattle. Deathstroke ''murders'' impatient players who try to spam their attacks and haven't mastered countering.
* WorthyOpponent: If you talk to him in prison after defeating him in ''Knight'', he states that he's always relishing a chance to fight Batman. He also states that as one of the few who have his respect, it now means that he'll stop at nothing to kill him.
* WouldHitAGirl: Unlike Batman, whose takedown animations for ninjas consist only of flips or strikes, Deathstroke has no compunctions about breaking arms and legs.
* YouCouldHaveUsedYourPowersForGood: Inverted. He feels that Batman's skills would be much better used for evil.
* YouFightLikeACow: Constantly spitting one-liners about Batman's no kill rule as well as the flaws in the Caped Crusader's technique during the boss fight, no matter how well the player is actually doing.
-->'''Deathstroke:''' You fight like a young man. All emotions and no discipline.
** Curiously, he does the exact opposite in Arkham Knight, claiming that Batman's getting old and asking where the old fury went.
* YoungerThanTheyLook: His in-game biography, during the cinematic introducing the assassins, lists him as being 45 years old. His grizzled countenance and snow-white hair makes him look a good 10-15 years older.

* BraggartBoss: He certainly talks a big game, to say the least.
* BullyingADragon: Taunting Batman also earned him a lunge kick to the face. Also, [[spoiler:he ''really'' should have thought twice before insulting the Joker, a man who's noticeably unstable. His one question as to who he is (partly in response to [[EvilIsPetty ruining his Asteroids game]]) got him [[DestinationDefenestration kicked out of a window of a penthouse]]]].
* ButtMonkey: Things just don't go his way.
* ChekhovsBoomerang: [[spoiler:The Shock Gloves, once Batman obtains them from his corpse. Not only do they manage to function as a defibrillator to save Alfred's life after Bane attacks the Batcave, but they're also used to stop Bane's heart temporarily to prevent Joker from killing himself and Gordon in a deathtrap. And Batman restarts Bane's heart again afterwards.]]
** [[spoiler: They also help gain access to some datapacks that would otherwise be inaccessible without them. Giving Batman an edge over [[ArcVillain Enigma.]]]]
* ChekhovsGunman: [[spoiler:The funniest, hammiest, and easiest assassin to beat is the sole reason Batman triumphs in the final boss fight. See ChekhovsGun above.]]
* DestinationDefenestration: [[spoiler:The Joker throws him through the window of the penthouse of The Royal Hotel.]]
* DoNotTauntCthulhu: Has the balls to do this to Batman, with his consequence being a kick to the face. [[spoiler:He later does the same to the Joker and gets kicked out a window for his troubles.]]
* DidntThinkThisThrough: A JustifiedTrope since the people he does this with aren't well known yet. Taunting Batman? Sure. Only a kick induced injury for that. [[spoiler:Standing up to the Joker because he interrupted your ''Asteroids'' game? '''That's a horrendously stupid idea.''']]
* FacialHorror: Not ''nearly'' as bad as Dent, but he's almost [[JustForPun halfway]] there.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Unlike the other assassins, he's known as a "street tough" [[SuperWeaponAverageJoe with Shock Gloves]] in his introduction, and his profile lists his job as "pit fighter". Predictably, he's not nearly on the level of the other assassins, and goes down in one hit in both of his appearances. [[spoiler:Also his comment about jump-starting your heart, since that's what you do to (a briefly dead) Bane.]]
** Even more telling that he is a joke is that while all the other assassins are shown in the middle of action while grabbing Black Mask's file from his goons, if you look closely Electrocutioner slides show him punching the guy delivering the letter. Punching the mailman doesn't make you that tough when the other guy is shown killing five guys with one bullet.
* GenreBlindness: One look at most of the entries shows he's ''very'' blind. [[spoiler:And he's KilledOffForReal early because of it.]]
* HarmlessVillain: Compared to the other assassins, he's practically nothing, even with his Shock Gloves. [[spoiler:The fact that he goes down in a grand total of 2 hits in the span of his lifetime (a OneHitKO from Batman and a DestinationDefenestration from Joker) just adds to this]].
* HuskyRusskie: Subverted. He's a tall, muscular, Slavic street thug with two {{Power Fist}}s, but Batman is able to defeat him with one kick in their first and only confrontation.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler: After being kicked through a window of Royal Hotel, he finally dies by crashing on a chandelier.]]
* InformedAbility: He is of the eight assassins "Black Mask" hires to kill Batman with his own shock gloves but yet he is a complete joke as he got [=OHKOed=] by Batman without putting up any fight during their confrontation. He even gets easily killed by Joker without even having any rematch with Batman. Heck Batman uses his shock gloves much more effectively than Electrocutioner ever did. Of course, it could simply be that [[spoiler: Joker [[ItAmusedMe thought it would be funny to hire such an obvious loser]].]]
* KilledOffForReal: [[spoiler:Dies when Joker pushes him out of a window at the Gotham Royal Hotel.]]
* LargeHam: Especially during his introductory cutscene, where he plays up his entrance into Penguin's arena as if he were a professional wrestler.
* LegacyCharacter: Another Electrocutioner comes to Gotham City in the prequel comic to ''Arkham Knight'' to challenge Batman. Like his predecessor, he's also quickly defeated by Batman after [[EvilGloating wasting his time talking rather than acting]], [[spoiler:and is summarily killed by the disguised villain in the game -- in this case, the Arkham Knight.]]
* MagicalDefibrillator: Claims to have one. [[spoiler:As shown in-game (see ChekhovsGun), he's right.]]
-->'''Electrocutioner:''' [[IllKillYou I'm-a kill you]], then I'm-a jump start your heart, and kill you again!
* NiceJobFixingItVillain: Batman uses the electromagnetic signature of his gloves to figure out where the assassins are meeting. [[spoiler:Those same gloves allow Batman to save Alfred's life, and later subvert Joker's no win scenario as well.]]
* NotSoSmallRole: Much like Bane was in the first ''Arkham Asylum'' game, he gets only a few moments to shine during the story. [[spoiler:Play through the game twice and you realize his Shock Gloves give him a '''huge''' impact on the plot.]]
* OneHitKill: He jumps into the ring with all the other goons cheering him on, [[SuicidalOverconfidence himself cackling about how he's going to kill Batman with ease]], and bellows "ARE YOU READY?!" to the crowd as the music swells. [[Funny/BatmanArkhamOrigins Take a wild guess what happens.]]
* PaperTiger: He's a tall, buff street thug with electrified gloves. Sounds threatening, right? Turns out his bark is much worse than his bite.
* PowerFist: His Shock Gloves.
* PlotDeviceAllAlong: [[spoiler:The Shock Gloves. GameBreaker when fighting {{Mooks}}, ChekhovsGun while fighting Bane.]]
* SacrificialLamb: [[spoiler:He's pushed out of a window mid-way through the story and killed.]]
* ShockAndAwe: His preferred way of dealing with enemies, courtesy of his Shock Gloves. They don't call him ''Electro''cutioner for nothing.
* SmallNameBigEgo: A conversation between {{Mooks}} mentions that despite all his posturing, his claim to fame is having tasers on his hands. He's about as dangerous as that would indicate.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: He's [[JustForPun pushed out]] [[spoiler:([[KilledOffForReal through a window, no less]])]] of the story pretty early. [[spoiler:His Shock Gloves are the catalyst for the finale, and reviving Bane after temporarily killing him.]]
* SmarterThanYouLook: His in-game profile notes that the fact that he could develop his gloves points to him being smarter than he acts. However, it also suggests that he may have had someone else build them for him.
* StaticStunGun: His Shock Gloves. He uses them for decidedly more lethal purposes, though. [[spoiler:In Batman's hands, the electricity is cranked down enough to function as a combat power-up instead. Oh, and reviving Bane after briefly killing him.]]
* SuicidalOverconfidence: [[DoNotTauntCthulhu Taunting Batman]] [[Funny/BatmanArkhamOrigins isn't the best of ideas if you're a street thug.]]
* SuperWeaponAverageJoe: He's characterized as little more than a thug with highly advanced technology.
* SpannerInTheWorks: [[spoiler:His bragging, see MagicalDefibrillator, came in awfully handy against Bane.]]
* TwoFaced: He's not affected quite as badly as Harvey, but he's still got a gruesome burn on his left side - a [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichtenberg_figure Lichtenberg figure]], in fact, which suggests [[DumbMuscle he's accidentally zapped himself in the past]], or won (or stole) them from somebody after getting hit by them.
* TheUnfought: Well, ok, ''technically'' you could say you have a boss battle with him, but he just stands there taunting you, and the first time you land any attack, it switches to a cutscene of Batman [[OneHitKill One Hit KO-ing]] him with a jump-kick (which is a little jarring if you were in the middle of throwing a punch.)
* VillainsOutShopping: One scene shows him playing ''VideoGame/{{Asteroids}}'' on his phone.
* WalkingSpoiler: Talking about [[ButtMonkey Electrocutioner]] is easy. [[spoiler:Talking about his Shock Gloves without spoiling what they do and how they impact the game is not.]]
* YoungerThanTheyLook: His file lists him as being only 24 years old. His voice, scars and attitude give him the impression of being at least a decade older.
* ZeroEffortBoss: Run up and attack. [[Funny/BatmanArkhamOrigins Cue laughter.]]

!!Firefly (Garfield Lynns)

->'''Voiced by:''' Creator/CrispinFreeman [[labelnote:Other voice actors]]Cédric Dumond (Fr), Andrea Bolognini (It)[[/labelnote]]

'''Garfield Lynns''', known as the villain '''Firefly''', is a friend and ally of crime lord Black Mask, and one of the few super criminals to avoid being locked up in Arkham City. A former pyrotechnician for the floundering Panessa Studios, he was subsequently fired in the wake of company downsizing, and began a new career as a hired torch for the mob, constructing a jet-propelled flying rig and protective suit to aid him in his crimes. He makes his debut appearance in the games in ''Arkham Origins''; in ''Arkham Knight'', he joins Scarecrow's VillainTeamUp.

* AxCrazy: Definitely the most unhinged of either Black Mask's team of assassins or Scarecrow's assembled supervillains; he's not even interested in money or power -- he just wants to destroy everything he can, including anyone who stands in his way.
* BadBoss: His men openly admit they can't trust a psychopath like him, [[spoiler:and worry that they won't be able to get clear of the bombs before he just decides to destroy the bridge for fun. As one goon mentions to Branden, the only way they know he hasn't already is because the explosive caches are large enough to be heard across town.]]
* BaldOfEvil: His head is so completely burnt that scar tissue has replaced all of his hair follicles.
* BodyHorror: He has burns on 90% of his body. In ''Knight'', we see how severe those are. Look at his arms and the parts of his head that's not covered by his helmet in the picture above. That's his skin.
* BurnScarsBurningPowers: Firefly is a {{Pyromaniac}} armed with a flamethrower, and as you can tell once he wears a more skin-baring outfit in ''[[VideoGame/BatmanArkhamKnight Arkham Knight]]'', the majority of his body is covered in third-degree burn scars.
* ChewingTheScenery: ''The scenery will BUUUUURRNNNN!!!''
* CoolHelmet: As part of his PoweredArmor.
* CoveredInScars: Burn scars, to be specific.
* DeepSouth: Crispin Freeman voices Firefly with a Texas drawl.
* TheDragon: The ''Arkham Unhinged'' comic revealed that he's Black Mask's right-hand man.
* EvilLaugh: Is absolutely ecstatic whenever he is burning and destroying.
* ExplosiveCigar: A very twisted variation on the theme -- when Lynns was fired from Panessa Studios, he offered a match to light his boss's cigar... and then spat a mouthful of nitroglycerine he'd drunk from his hip flask in preparation, across the flame and right into the old man's face.
* {{Expy}}: Replace his fighter jet pilot-like mask with a space helmet, and he's a dead ringer for The Fury from ''VideoGame/MetalGearSolid3SnakeEater''. While Firefly as a character is much older than The Fury, his modernized look in ''Origins'' is certainly inspired by him.
* FireBreathingWeapon: As always, Firefly's weapon is a flamethrower.
* ForTheEvulz: When he confronts Batman during ''Origins'', [[spoiler:Joker's been put in prison]], meaning it's very unlikely that Firefly could cash in the bounty if he won the fight. He doesn't care, since he just wants to cause destruction.
* GadgeteerGenius: His jetpack and flamethrower are self-made. Batman even mentions in ''Knight'' that the accelerant in his flamethrower is petroleum-based napalm, with polyisobutene, a synthetic rubber, as the gelling agent, suggesting that Lynns also has some aptitude in chemistry.
** In ''Knight'', his backstory reveals that he was a skilled pyrotechnics expert, apparently doing special effects at Panessa Studios before being [[{{Pun}} fired]] by his corrupt boss.
* GetBackHereBoss: In ''Knight'', Firefly's "fights" has Batman chasing him around in the Batmobile until his jetpack runs low on fuel, allowing Batman to propel himself out of his car and beat him around for a while before he escapes.
* GoodScarsEvilScars: 90% of his body is covered in scarring from first-, second, and third-degree burns caused by his own fires, and his profile states he actually derives pleasure from burning himself. While only hinted at in ''Origins'' (what little we see of his face after Batman cracks his visor shows his left eye surrounded by scar tissue), he sheds most of his armor in ''Knight'', and the results are gruesome.
* GutturalGrowler: Crispin Freeman is basically using his [[Videogame/MetalGearRisingRevengeance Sundowner]] voice, albeit with a slightly less outrageous accent.
* JetPack: Part of his arsenal.
* KillItWithFire: His modus operandi.
* LargeHam: As expected from Crispin Freeman.
-->'''Firefly:''' "How do you wanna die? The quick, incinerating flash of an ''EXPLOSION''!? Or a nice, SLOW ''BUUURN!?''"
* LaughablyEvil: He's so over-the-top it's hard not to crack a smile.
* LaughingMad: Especially when he sets something on fire.
* LovesTheSoundOfScreaming: "Scream for me!"
* MadArtist: Invoked in boss banter:
-->'''Firefly:''' You say arsonist, I say arson''iste''
* MadBomber: [[spoiler:Rigs the Pioneer Bridge to explode along with everyone on it in order to lure Batman to him.]]
* PersonOfMassDestruction: [[spoiler:Although Batman and the GCPD defused his bombs, he on his own managed to set over half of the bridge on fire, nearly completely destroying it.]]
* PoweredArmor: Mainly to protect him from being burned by his own flamethrower.
* PsychoForHire: While $50 million is nothing to sneeze at, he's just looking for an excuse to blow things up.
* PungeonMaster: Almost every other word out of his mouth is some kind of fire pun.
* {{Pyromaniac}}: It borders on religious fervor in ''Knight'', where he raves about Gotham being "purified" by fire, and claims that the flames speak to him with images and voices.
* SleevesAreForWimps: His costume in ''Knight'' leaves the burned skin on his arms exposed.
* TheSociopath: Batman even profiles him as one in Arkham Asylum.
* TechnicolorFire: His jetpack emits purple flames.
* VaderBreath: In ''Knight'', he appears to have developed lung problems, probably from smoke inhalation.
* VillainousFriendship: With Black Mask, even before they adopted their supervillain personas.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: For ''City''. He disappears after being sent by Black Mask to torch any place associated with Hugo Strange in one issue of ''Arkham Unhinged'', and is the only one of Batman's rogues to be known to be outside of the City itself at that time. He's back in ''Arkham Knight''.

A deadly martial artist, '''[[ComicBook/LadyShiva Shiva]]''' is one of the assassins hired to kill Batman on Christmas Eve.
----
* AdaptationNameChange: Very minor, but she drops the "Lady" from her name. Her real name is also not used or referenced.
* AdaptationalEarlyAppearance: Even when she was an enemy of ComicBook/RichardDragon, she still made her debut after Barbara Gordon became Batgirl. This Shiva first fought Bruce during his training years and additionally, first fought Bruce as Batman during his second year as the Dark Knight.
* AdaptationalWimp: To an extent. While Shiva is still a formidable martial artist, Batman has very little trouble taking her down, whereas in the comics, Batman isn't much of a match for her. Granted, this is still fairly early in her career and she likely wasn't giving it her all.
* AffablyEvil: She's actually quite courteous towards Batman, all things considered.
* ContraltoOfStrength: She has a pretty low-pitched voice for a woman, befitting her status as one of the deadliest fighters in the world.
* DarkActionGirl: Considered ''the'' greatest martial artist in the DC universe, to the point that not even Batman can defeat her in a fair fight.
* TheDragon: She's implied to be one for [[CynicalMentor Kirigi]] in ''Initiation'' through her appearance as the FinalExamBoss and the scenes shown in inter-challenge screens. In ''Origins'', she is implied to be this to [[spoiler:Ra's al Ghul]].
* DragonLady: One of the most archetypical examples.
* FinalExamBoss: In the ''Initiation'' DLC, she fulfills this role in-story, being the final challenge of Bruce Wayne's training, and having the resilience of an armored enemy and the expertise of a martial artist.
* FlunkyBoss: She fights you with a pack of ninjas as backup in both ''Origins'' and ''Initiation''.
* GlassCannon: Compared to most bosses, she can't take a punch that well; her strength as an opponent lies in her ability to evade Batman's blows and her ninja allies to help wear him down, but it only takes a few direct blows to defeat her.
* HellBentForLeather: She sports a biker-esque outfit, complete with a leather jacket.
* InkSuitActor: While not a perfect match, Shiva does somewhat resemble Creator/KellyHu.
* JustTestingYou: It's referenced multiple times that she's not really trying to kill Batman in ''Origins'', but rather to test him for someone else, heavily implied to be [[spoiler:Ra's al Ghul]]. This is proven in ''Initiation'', where she ''is'' actively trying to kill him, and is much tougher to defeat.
* KarmaHoudini: [[spoiler: Escapes from Gotham at the end of her side mission, being the only assassin to get away.]]
* KnightTemplar: She repeatedly refers to Gotham as corrupt and deserving of destruction, [[spoiler:which makes sense, considering that she serves Ra's al Ghul]].
* MadeOfIron: Despite having very little combat armor, her boss battle in ''Initiation'' shows that she is as resilient as a HeavilyArmoredMook.
* MaleGaze: The intro-cutscene to her fight with Batman opens with a loving shot of her backside [[HellBentForLeather clad in leather tights.]]
* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Her real name, Sandra Wu-San is not used in-game and her identity is listed as "unknown" in her character bio.
* OptionalBoss: Dealing with her is an optional sidequest, similar to Deadshot.
* ProfessionalKiller: Comes with the territory of being an assassin.
* PunchClockVillain: She doesn't hold any animosity towards Batman, choosing instead to test him and claiming that the reward money is just a consolation prize if he fails.
* SecretTestOfCharacter: She sets up tests to see if Batman is a WorthyOpponent before confronting him. [[spoiler:She also seems to be testing him on behalf of Ra's al Ghul, to prove he would be a worthy successor.]]

** In ''Knight'', his backstory reveals that he was a skilled pyrotechnics expert, apparently doing special effects at Panessa Studios before being [[IncrediblyLamePun fired]] by his corrupt boss.

* DoesNotLikeShoes: She goes in ankle wraps instead of full footwear.

'''Copperhead''' is an internationally known assassin suspected to operate out of Guatemala whose identity is shrouded in mystery. Reports of both male and female Copperheads have surfaced, leading to the authorities believing that it is either a group operating under a single name or a floating moniker. What all the reports agree on is that Copperhead is deadly and skilled, leaving a trail of victims dead by asphyxiation, [[NeckSnap broken necks]], and exotic poisons. Early in Batman's career, a female Copperhead was one of eight assassins who accepted a 50 million dollar bounty offered by Black Mask to kill the vigilante on Christmas Eve.

'''Tracey Buxton''' is one of Penguin's allies during the Christmas' Eve Incident.
----
* CanonForeigner: Created for the Arkhamverse.
* {{Claustrophobia}}: She claims to be claustrophobic when Batman locks her up, but she's likely lying to try and get him to release her.
* CoDragons: With Candy for Penguin.
* CuteButCacophonic: She is a stunning blonde with a grating voice and heavy Cockney accent.
* MsFanservice: Seemingly one of her main jobs.
* PaidHarem: A member of Penguin's.
* PoliticallyIncorrectVillain: As with her boss, Tracey has shown an ugly homophobic streak, calling the Penguin's men "ponces".
* PunnyName: "Buxton" sounds like "Buxom". Also doubles as a MeaningfulName since she is quite well-endowed.
* UndyingLoyalty: To Penguin.

* MartialArtsStaff: His initial weapon used against Batman until you get him to half health and Batman breaks it, causing him to switch to the sword. Playable Deathstroke has it as his only melee weapon.

* NavelDeepNeckline: As seen in the image.

* AbsoluteCleavage: As seen in the image.

* BoomStick: He initially appears to have a SimpleStaff, but it doubles as his rifle.

* SimpleStaff: His initial weapon used against Batman until you get him to half health and Batman breaks it, causing him to switch to the sword. Playable Deathstroke has it as his only melee weapon.

* HuskyRusskie: Subverted. He's a tall, muscular, Slavic street thug with two {{Power Fists}}, but Batman is able to defeat him with one kick in their first and only confrontation.

* CoolMask: As is tradition, wears his iconic half-red half-black mask, though he loses it during the boss battle.

* DarthVaderClone: Much like the TropeNamer, he wears his intimidating suit of black armor in ''Origins'' to protect his severely burned body from the sub-zero cold and wind; in ''Knight'', he instead only wears his goggles and all the gear necessary to keep himself flying and dangerous, which in turn leaves him vulnerable to Batman's vehicle-aided takedowns. He also breathes heavily when he speaks, suggesting he's developed respiratory problems from smoke inhalation.
