Alongside Edward 'The Riddler' Nygma and the Clown Prince of Crime himself, The Joker, fans can expect a host of other iconic adversaries including Firefly, Manbat, Poison Ivy, and Mad Hatter. Meanwhile, Bruce Wayne remains under intense public and private scrutiny as the citizens of Gotham continue to debate whether the Bat is truly a savior or a condemnation.
