Enter Dr. Hurt:

Dr. hurt is an anomalous figure. Mostly since his history is literally left to interpretation. He has claimed to be Batman's father, lost twin brother, and he has claimed the mantle of Satan himself. What is known of him, is that he knows of Batman's identity, has unnaturally long life, and apparently was buried alive by the Joker.
Hurt is dedicated to completely destroying Batman in body, mind, and soul, and replacing him with a corrupted, evil counterpart. Doctor Hurt led both the Black Glove and the Club of Villians against Batman in the "Batman R.I.P." story arc.
Up next is a legend a long time in the making. The ultimate representation of our fave bipolar villian. Yes, the villian known as Two-Face.

Two face, understandably has a focus on winning a coin toss for some pretty substantial payoffs. In this case? A free second swing! Even if the toss goes sour, his stats are pretty respectable and he steps up to a slot in arkham previously dominated with some pretty vanilla characters. (our best option was regularly either a clayface, or an insanity joker) So it's nice to see some pro representaion from one of arkham's big names.
Now if only we could do something about a bad flip...

Well holy jumpin snot. That'll do. This will perfectly fit what we want to do with Two-Face's coin flipping fun. however a quick clarification. Our coin will miss it's timing if it' is equipped to our aforementioned 6 drop trigger. (since he will be stunned by the time we see the result of the flip) however, we have so much more flipping fun to take advantage of! I expect to see this become a common addition in alot of arkham builds!
Speaking of Arkham, any preview would be remiss to ignore the founding father of our motley arrangement of Batman's most prominent villians of Gotham. And no, we didn't forget him.

An effect reminiscent of Magneto's meets a little betrayal. OK, possibly, a LOT of betrayal as the Joker ensures stunned characters don't walk away alive, however, he doesn't play favorites and his effect WILL kill and stun friendly characters as well.
Really, though. Do we want our Jokers any other way? We could always flip a coin to decide....
