Copperhead- Arkhamverse (Batman Arkham Origins 2013)
First Appearance: Batman Arkham Origins (2013)
Copperhead was a female assassin, who was well known throughout Soth America for 14 diffrent escapes from various prisons. She is also believed to be in a gang, due to having similar tattooes to other known criminals and numerous people taking up the alias of Copperhead, both male and female.
Copperhead came to Gotham on the orders of Black Mask (the Joker), but was arrested by police and held in custody. During her interrogation, the police man was in the middle of saying that she would not be able tio escape again, but is killed by Copperhead, who gets out of her handcuffs and brakes his neck using her legs. She then obtained her contract to kill Batman. She was caught on the Penguin's drone, which Batman used to find out about the assassins and Black Mask's plot to kill him.
At some point during her task, she worked out that Black Mask was really being impersinated by someone else.
Copperhead lurks around the Sionis Steel Mill, waiting for Batman to arrive and sneaking after him in the shadows (a presence he can feel, but not identify.) She attacks a thug in an elevator using her neurotxins and watches Batman as he realeses Roman Sionis from his trap and tries to interroagte him. She arrives and he tries to bribe her, but she says that they are empty words from a "fallen king." She poisons Batman and escapes, saying that she has killed him and soon he will realises this. Batman identifies the toxin she used from her claws so that Alfred could synthesise a cure.
She goades and mocks Batman as he struggles to the loading bay, the toxin creating images of the dead bank manager and Gillian Loeb. He eventually meets her, who he persevies as being multiple copies of herself and after a long fight mangaes to use the cure. He eventaully over powers her and hurls her into a storage container. She begs him not to seal her inside, revealing the Joker is holding a meeting with all the assassins and tries to create a deal for him to release her, but Batman sees through this and sarcastically thanks her, sending an annomyonous tip and leaving her for the police to pick up. She calls him a "Pendejo" through the crate as he exits the room.

Amanda Waller- Arkhamverse (Batman Arkham Origins 2013)
First Appearance: Batman Arkham Origins (2013)
Amanda Waller is the leader of the D.O.J (Department of Justice) as well as being in charge of the government run Task Force-X.
After the capture of Joker on Christmas Eve, Amanda Waller visited Deathstroke in Blackgate. She is accompanied by two men, a replacement staff (with the original being destroyed by Batman), a large handhold bag and a clipboard with information sheets on the Suicide Squad (Task Force-X's other name.)
Deathstroke states that he had figured she would come to see him, without losing focus of his press ups. She slides the clipboard under the cell door, without a word and after he reads it answers his question of subordination by saying that "you rot in here, or you work for me."

Tweedledee and Tweedledum- Arkhamverse (Batman Arkham Asylum 2009)
First Appearance: Batman Arkham City (2011) #5
At some point prior to the Arkham Asylum riots, they had formed the Wonderland Gang with the Mad Hatter and other criminals, who were fans of the "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" books. They had at least one run in with Batman and were deemed insane, being placed in Arkham.
Cousins with an uncanny resemblance to each other, Deever and Dumfree Tweed both
shared criminal leanings and a fixation on Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland.
Teaming up, they've modelled themselves after Tweedledum and Tweeldledee from
that book, planning often outrageous, absurdest schemes to trap the Batman.
Facts:
Real Name: Deever and Dumfree Tweed
Occupation: Professional Criminals
Base of Operations: Gotham City
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Brown
Height: 5 ft 9 in
Weight: 175 lb
First Appearance: Detective Comics #74 (April, 1943)
Attributes:
> Obsession with Alice in Wonderland
> Skilled criminal masterminds
> Despite being cousins, could pass as identical twins
Tweedledum and Tweedledee
Real Name: Deever and Dumfree Tweed
(Two happy face drawn near the top of the page)
Psychological Profile
The Tweed cousins' obsession with Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is similar to
that of Jarvis Tetch, but unlike Tetch, the Tweeds are not delusional so much as
severely dependent on each other, with a shared fixation on extreme role play.
They know they are not Tweedledum and Tweedledee, but nonetheless delight in
acting like them. Their complex rhyming and complicated in-jokes prolong their
treatment sessions, but the intense aggression they show when separated hardly
make things easier.
ADDITIONAL NOTES
It's difficult to believe they are cousins, as they could pass as identical
twins. I suspect plastic surgery.
I avoid scheduling sessions with them on the same days I'm treating Tetch, as
otherwise the nearly endless recitation of selections from Lewis Carroll would
be enough to make even me question my sanity. Or at least my career choices.
The two cousins were playing on their see saw in the Akrham North, when Batman brings the Joker back to the Asylum. They take the opportunity to escape, leaving their signature and identical hats on the ride.
The Riddler: Arkhamverse (Batman Arkham City 2011)
First Appearance: Batman Arkham Asylum (2009)
Eddie Nashton changed his name to Edward Nigma and took up the identity of the Riddler, a criminal mastermind, who used puzzles and games to try and stump the police and Batman.
After his escape from the Arkham Asylum holding cells Riddler goes to his hideout, setting up the cameras to watch what the other criminals are doing and set up his puzzles and trophies ready for Batman, who he predicted would come to Arkham at some point to investigate the prison.

Victor Zsasz- Arkhamverse (Batman Arkham City Comic 2011)
First Appearance: Batman: Arkham Asylum: Road to Arkham (2009)
Batman: Arkham City (2011) #5: Victor Zsasz is a homicidal psychopath, who believes people to be nothing more than zombies that needed liberation from their lives. He gives them their "salvation", by slitting their throats and posing their bodies in a sick and twisted positions.
Victor Zsasz was transferred to Arkham City some time after the Arkham riots and prior to Protocol 10.
Zsasz had received an escape route map from Hugo Strange (anomalously), using it to escape the Arkham City facility, via the sewer systems. However he had not realised that his release was really a ploy by Strange to show the security of the prison and the strength of protection the Tyger Guards could provide.
He was beaten by Tyger Guards, with the images being streamed live on the news, gaining the support needed to prove that Arkham City was not a place where anyone can escape from.

The "Jabberwocky"- Arkhamverse (Batman Arkham Unhinged 2011)
First Appearance: Batman Arkham Unhinged (2011)
The "Jabberwocky" was a percieved creation in Batman's mind after he was infected by the Mad Hatter's Fear Gas conconction. It was wearing the Mad Hatter's hat (probably the Mad Hatter), which was the master control for his mind alterating devices he implanted onto his other "soldiers" (The "Red Queen", The Carpenter and the "Cheshire Cat")
The "Jabberwocky" smashes through the roof above Batman, showering debris onto him. Batman knows that it isn't real, but due to the gas he can only dodge the massive creature. He finally buckles with the strain of having to deal with two aflictions and is held steady by the "Red Queen" and the "Cat". However Batman finds it amusing and absurd that the "Jabberwocky" is wearing a hat, overcoming his pain and throwing a Shock Batarang at the hat, knocking it off and destroying the master control unit. The noise also throws the Jabberwocky crashing through the wall into the street below.

The Wonderland Gang- Arkhamverse: (Batman Arkham Unhinged 2011)
First Appearance: Batman Arkham Unhinged (2011) #24
The Wonderland Gang were a criminal gang, who were formed by the Mad Hatter sometime in his criminal career (before the Arkham City event). They all dress up and commit crimes related to characters and scenarios from Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." They eventually disbanded and went their separate ways.
However after they all found their way into Arkham City, the Mad Hatter decided that he would bring the group back together so they could find "Alice." They tipped of Hugo Strange to hunt down Jenna Duffy, a former member of the gang known as the Carpenter, who had been trying to escape Gotham on a bus to her hometown of Keystone City. This resulted in her being brought to Arkham City and taken prisoner by the gang, who prepared her for the tea-party.
The Hatter, believing his "Alice" to be Vicki Vale, sends TweedleDee and TweedleDum to kidnap her. The rest of the gang go about getting more guests for the party, kidnapping Poison Ivy, Catwoman and a G.C.P.D officer called Ruiz. They are all taken back to the Hat Shop in the Bowery and are prepared for the arrival of Vicki, who has been dressed to resemble "Alice."
He finally sends them off to protect the shop from any intruders, tasking TweedleDee and Dum to wait outside. The Lion, the Unicorn and March Hare are to protect the lobby.
When Batman arrives to save Vale, he easily knocks out the whole gang and goes on to foil the Hatter's party.

Batman: Arkham Unhinged (2011): Vicki in Wonderland
Spoiler Warnings for those who haven't read Batman Arkham Unhinged (2011) #23,24 and 25. (Character profiles, transcripts and individual title reviews will also be created after this post is uploaded.)
The Mad Hatter wakes up after being knocked out by Batman (Batman Arkham City- Through the Looking Glass side mission) and finds his crushed hat. He states that he should have been looking for Alice rather than going after Batman and decides to throw not only a search party for her, but also a tea party. Although upon looking at his hat, he realises he is not properly dressed and says he knows where he can find another hat.
Vicki Vale is walking through the dark of Arkham City, after her news helicopter had been shot down. She states that she knows there is a story about this place and tells herself to keep it together and not be so jumpy, but is surprised by two "G.C.P.D Officers" who tell her they are to take her to a "safe zone." She asks if they know if Jack Ryder made it to the "safe zone," but they are confused. They suggest to her that they have a long walk and they must go. She begins to make a mock interview on her phone, telling them the people of Gotham will want to hear there stories and asks them many questions. She is more than suspicious when one of the officers reacts weirdly to a question about the use of drugs and before she can look around to see where she has been taken to, she is knocked out by chloroform. The officers remove their helmets to reveal that they are the criminals TweedleDee and TweedleDum. They pick her up stating that they mustn't be late.
Vicki wakes up in the Bowery Hat Shop, where she is confused why someone is calling her "Alice" and she gasps as she finds herself wearing completely different clothes to what she was wearing before. The Mad Hatter shows her reflection in the mirror, stating that he dressed her himself. She calls him "slimy... perverted", but he ignores this, leading her through into the other room where he has prepared a table for all his guests. The ladies present (Selina Kyle and Jenna Duffy among them) make threats as Hatter as he seats Vicki down and tells her to drink.
Meanwhile Batman goes to Baudelaire's, where plant spores and vines are causing danger on Arkham City, with increased pollen counts affecting toxicity in the air. Oracle asks how he is doing, showing her footage of Vicki Vale and her "escort" and saying that she does not recognise the G.C.PD to be officers. She also says she that was the only footage she could get, due to Hugo Strange being able to trace the signal and shut down the feed. She asks if Penguin has anything to do with the "G.C.P.D" as it occurred during the Bowery district, but Batman comes across a half drunk cup of tea next to a rose, knowing where to look first.
Batman arrives at the Hat Shop, defeating TweedleDee and Dum who are outside, before going inside. He is greeted by the March Hare, who tells him that the shop belongs to the Wonderland Gang and that he will have to leave, setting the rest of the gang on him. Batman easily defeats the Lion, Walrus and Unicorn, but is affected by a gas that the Mad Hatter had synthesised from Scarecrow's fear toxin (his own recipe), asking him where his invitation to the party was. Batman berates himself for getting caught off guard and is set upon by Poison Ivy, Catwoman and The Carpenter, dressed in Wonderland-esk costumes.
Mad Hatter toasts Batman before he leaves the fight. Batman is struggling with his body and his mind, one affected by the Titan blood, the other affected by Fear Gas. Batman also has to find away to fight them without hurting them as he knows they are just under the Hatter's control. He is finally confronted by a "Jabberwocky", but using a Sonic Batarang knocks it's hat off and causes it to fall through the Hat Shop's Wall into the streets below. Batman finally injects himself with a cure to the fear gas he keeps in his utility belt.
He waits for the women to get ready so he can help them if he can. He is surprised by the Carpenter's appearance as she had been escaping Gotham, before being caught by Tyger Guards. He asks her what she is going to do know and she replies that due to the destruction in Arkham City, there will be plenty for her to do especially after hearing about a repair that Poison Ivy needs to her "base." Batman goes to find Ivy, but she has slipped away, leaving behind a rose on the table. Catwoman jokes, asking if it was for her and flirts with him, which he ignores, causing her to say it was "his loss" and leaves. That finally leaves Officer Ruiz of the G.C.P.D and Vicki Vale, who thank Batman for his help. Vale tells her that they are going to the Church, which is being used as a safe house. Ruiz tells Batman that she will make sure that a "real police escort" will get her there safely. Before they leave, Vicki asks what will happen to the Mad Hatter.
Batman tells her that he is out there somewhere in Arkham City, looking for his Alice.
However he stumbles across Killer Croc in the sewers and after escaping from him, is forced to run from a group of very angry inmates, who have just removed their "rabbit" masks.
