Gotham Knights is an upcoming game that sees players take control of members of the Bat Family as they are forced to navigate a world where Batman is now gone. As for the villains of Gotham Knights, we actually know very little about who will be in the game, with the only ones confirmed thus far being the Court of Owls, their Talons, Penguin, and Mr. Freeze.
When looking at who we hope will appear in Gotham Knights, how the villains would fit in the game as either primary or side villains will be taken into account. There is also the possibility of DLC if WB Games Montreal ever feels like there are villains who should be included this way. Lastly, there will be numerous mentioning of the Batman Arkham series, but the Gotham Knights universe is not the same as the Batman Arkham Universe, so the inclusion of this topic is mainly to illustrate comparisons and how Gotham Knights could feature villains in an even better way.
Before getting into the list, I also wanted to briefly mention two characters not on the list. The first is Joker, a character that has been used to the point of oversaturation, so it would be nice to finally have a game in the Batman Universe that doesn’t involve the Clown Prince of Crime. The second villain that shouldn’t be in the game but is worth a mention is Harley Quinn, who, even though she would be a perfectly fine addition to Gotham Knights, she’ll be a main character in Suicide Squad: Kill the Justice League, so ideally I’d prefer this game to focus on other villains in the meantime.
Scarecrow
Scarecrow is an intriguing villain who would fit the world of Gotham Knights incredibly well. First of all, the game trailers have hinted at a bit of a horror element, especially when it comes to the story with the Court of Owls, which Scarecrow would complement significantly given horror is his specialty.
There could be a mission where the Gotham Knights encounter Scarecrow, and he shows them their fears of not being able to successfully be the heroes that Gotham needs. With how the Bat Family is seemingly thrust out of nowhere into needing to protect Gotham, a mission with Scarecrow would provide a perfect way of showing the players how the Knights are being affected by this.
