POSSIBLE NEW VILLAINS

The Joker - while he was shown to have died in the "Batman: Arkham City" it will be easy for him to pull another switcheroo in order for him to make a comeback in the latest Batman game. The Joker is a cunning and smart villain considered to be THE archenemy of Batman.
Hush - can also be the "Arkham Knight" since he has all the resources to be at par with Batman. He also knows his real identity and he is a formidable foe in the comic book.
Ra's al Ghul - is also a good candidate for the titular "Arkham Knight" villain. His immortality, unlimited resources and experience can give him an upper hand against the Batman. He was always known to be a master manipulator behind the scene and it will be easy for him to conjure the "Arkham Knight" persona for the upcoming game.
Jason Todd - will also fit perfectly as the "Arkham Knight". Todd is known to be the second Robin who was killed by the Joker in the comic book. However he miraculously survived and later became the Red Hood vigilante. Todd come to hate Batman since he think that the Dark Knight is too week to punish the criminals of Gotham City.
