![]() ![]() Mirror's penchant for exacting justice by slaying those who survived courtesy of a miracle would likely make Batgirl a person of interest in the world of Gotham Knights. The gruesome killer debuted early in Simone's New 52 Batgirl run, becoming one of the first criminals Barbara Gordon confronted after reclaiming her title as Batgirl. Gail Simone-created character Mirror could similarly wreak havoc in Gotham with Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin left in charge of its protection. Batman's death and subsequent absence in Gotham Knights could very well encourage Blockbuster to cast his gaze beyond Blüdhaven's city limits, and would reiterate that each of the Dark Knight's allies has their own storied histories unconnected to Batman specifically. In particular, Roland Desmond's Blockbuster lords over Nightwing's usual stomping grounds of Blüdhaven with impunity, ensuring the former Robin rarely enjoys a break from the unruly chaos of organized crime. Blockbuster, for all intents and purposes, slowly developed into Nightwing's Kingpin equivalent during his solo comic in the 1990s, for example. Her connections to Gotham Knights' Batman allies like Red Hood (Jason Todd) and Robin (Tim Drake), whereby she trained Tim and was once thought to be Jason's mother, would make for intriguing interactions with the surviving members of the Bat-Family, too.īatman arguably boasts the most formidable rogues gallery in comics, but his protégés possess a fair few noteworthy adversaries of their own. And perhaps such a turn would come at the behest of Ra's, though it would be nice to see her operate independently of the League. If Batman's sudden death in the events leading up to Gotham Knights creates a power vacuum in certain circles, Lady Shiva may want to fill the void.

Arkham Origins casts Lady Shiva as little more than a side character, an assassin hired by the Black Mask-disguised Joker to rid Gotham of the Bat. But her minimal role in the 2013 action title exemplifies why she'd prove a perfect fit for a larger plot thread in Gotham Knights. Because she counts among the best, if not the best, martial artists in the DC Universe, it boggles the mind that Lady Shiva only appeared as a sort of ambiguous villain in Batman: Arkham Origins, the Arkhamverse's vastly underrated prequel entry. ![]()
