In this episode of Beyond the Bat Signal, I dive into Gotham’s darkest corners to talk about which villains must make their mark in the next installment of the Batman Arkham series. With Rocksteady’s legacy looming large and fans hungry for a fresh rogues' gallery, I break down my top 5 picks for who should challenge the Dark Knight next, from underused icons to underrated threats that deserve the spotlight.
Expect some surprises, a few deep cuts, and plenty of Bat-logic behind each choice. Whether you're a hardcore Arkham fan or just love a good villain, this is one episode you won't want to miss.
Tune in, and let me know who you think should be the next to terrorize Gotham.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
