Here are the best bad guys in Gotham Knights, from Harley Quinn to Clayface!
It’s clear that Batman has the most famous villains in the DC world, with The Joker being the most well-known. So, when he wasn’t in Gotham Knights at first, many people were worried about who would show up and how things would go without the Crown Prince of Crime, especially since the game says he’s still alive.
Other bad guys got their chance to shine instead. Some of them you may already know, while others you may have heard of but not as well as the others. The following are the very best in terms of the game. Which one do you like best?
Penguin
The Penguin could be the biggest threat to Batman and his family in Gotham. Even though he’d lose in a fight, he has the money, smarts, and tools to build an elite gang that could compete with any in the city. For now, though, he’d rather keep his hands off the matter.
It would have been interesting to see a boss fight between Penguin and the family. Instead, all we’ll get from him is some important information about the Court of Owls, which may or may not exist.
The bad guys in Gotham Knights are pretty good, but Basher and Blazer aren’t quite up there with the best. Even though their designs are interesting, they’re really just Harley’s paid muscle that has been implanted with microchip technology to make them stronger. It would have been cool to see this technology used more in the story.
The bad guys aren’t very interesting when compared to other, better-known bad guys from Batman books and DC in general. Also, these are original characters made just for the games, so they can only be Harley Quinn’s goons who are about to get hit in the face with a bat.
Man-Bat
It was a bad choice for Dr. Kirk Langstrom to betray the Court of Owls, the mystery group that tried to take over Gotham from the shadows. The Court says that crossing it is a death sentence, so it’s too bad that he has already been killed when we find him in Gotham Knights.
His work lives on, though, as Talia quickly shows by using Dr. Langstrom’s research and the Lazarus Pit to make a small army of Man-Bats that are trying to keep you from finding out what their real goal is. Man-Bat doesn’t do everything he could, and it would have been cool to see him play a more anti-hero role, like in some books.
Clayface
There have been a few different people in the DC world who have played Clayface, and each had their own ideas and goals. On the other hand, the one who shows up in Gotham Knights is Basil Karlo, a failed actor who gave up on his dream of becoming famous and became the shape-shifting criminal we know today.
His plans for payback (or the movie version of them) fell through when he heard Batman had died. So he wants to take it out on you. Even though the camera is made of clay, you should still give it your all in the fight, or he’ll ring your bell a few times.
Harley Quinn
It’s nice to see her have control over her life outside of her clown costume and her ex-boyfriend, and not just in a friendly way. This is probably her most complex part in the current generation of Gotham games. For now, she tries to be nice by giving Batman’s study to the rest of the Bat Family. But after that, she goes off to run her own business.
She not only makes the most of everything she knows about psychiatry. But she’s also made her own software to control people who actually believe the ads for her self-care line. Her freedom doesn’t last long, but it’s an interesting part of Doodle Cricket.
Talia Al’Ghul
Talia Al’Ghul is very smart, so having her in Gotham can’t be a good thing. She gets the young Bat Family to do what she wants by telling them that the League of Shadows has a target on her back and asking them to feel sorry for her.
She is able to work on her plans from behind the scenes. Because she brings Bruce Wayne back from the dead to kill his family. There are no limits to how evil Talia can be when she wants to take over the city.
Mr. Freeze
The evil scientist Mr. Freeze who only wanted to treat his wife of her fatal illness is no longer alive. This is not the Mr. Freeze you knew. Because of an accident while looking for this information, the scientist can’t live without a cryo suit anymore. He fails at his goals in the end, which makes him give up and accept his life as a thief.
Ruthlessness now lives in his heart, and even though this version of him chooses to leave out his past. It’s clear that he no longer cares about anything, and it seems like a better idea to bring an ice age to Gotham. Plus points for making the mech look like it came from the Metal Gear Solid games.
Court Of Owls
If you want to believe in a conspiracy, all you need is a secret group trying to take over the city. There is murder, betrayal, and mystery. What more could you want? They are against the League of Assassins, which is another hidden society of bad guys. And they know that they are in the way of the Owls taking over the world.
People who are not part of The Owls’ group still have a hard time understanding why they do what they do. They do want to take over Gotham, but why? Why was there only one man who could stop them? He might not have been telling the truth, but that helped him keep an eye on them. It will never be known again.
