Batman has apprehended dozens of villains in the Arkhamverse with more than a few of them recurring in multiple installments. Joker has obviously been a persistent thorn to embellish how big of a nuisance he is, for instance, and the Riddler and his informants have somehow always managed to construct the most elaborate traversal challenges and environmental puzzles for Batman to solve. Therefore, if an antagonist has shown up in at least two games and was then absent in another, it instantly raises questions about their whereabouts and demands lore to explain what theyve been up to. Batman: Arkham Shadow is a great follow-up to Batman: Arkham Origins and Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate, and it answers some of these questions while raising its own.
