Rocksteady and WB Games Montreal’s Arkhamverse is ripe with villains from Batman’s rogues’ gallery, but what makes this continuity special is how its treatment of these antagonists develops across multiple installments. It’s incredibly fulfilling to look back on a character’s earliest appearance in the Arkhamverse, such as Deathstroke as one of eight assassins in Arkham Origins, and see how far along they were kept around. In some cases, these antagonists have received rewarding closure, giving them a great throughline to witness if fans pay attention to the Arkham series as a whole.
