History
The Arkham Knight's origin is currently unknown. However he has an unexplained dislike for Batman and has been working for months to prepare for his assault against him. The Arkham Knight begins by poisoning Gotham City's bat population, which seems to almost cost the the life She-Bat, before activating a powerful device that creates an miniature artificial sun in the night sky. Batman is then attacked by the Knights of the Sun; an organisation of the Arkham Knight's follows who all wield medieval weapons that can pierce through the Dark Knight's armor and wear outfits that deflect his Batarangs.
