KGBeast

KGBeast is a member of Batman’s extensive rogues gallery in DC Comics and, as such, would have to appear in one of the Dark Knight’s movies, should he ever get a live action adaptation.

He is Anatoli Knyazev – a KGB assassin from the old Soviet Union (he’s Russian, essentially) who, upon his introduction, had killed around 200 people and earned himself the codename “The Beast”.

He’s an expert martial artist, can adeptly use every deadly weapon known to man and has cybernetic enhancements that grant him enhanced physical attributes and a prosthetic gun where his left hand used to be.

He came into conflict with Batman when he was going through his hit-list (he was on a mission to assassinate ten high-ranking U.S. officials in order to put a stop to a planned strategic defence initiative) and the Gotham City hero tried to stop him. He turned out to be an excellent match for the Dark Knight and such a fight would be great to see on screen – as would Knyazev’s origin story.
