Deadshot (Arkhamverse)

"Hello Batman. I see you decoded my message. Well done. But I'm afraid playtime's over. Come meet me at the bank so I can put a bullet in you and collect my prize. Oh - and in case you're thinking of backing out - I've got a hostage and a very itchy trigger finger."

- Deadshot

Floyd Lawton, better known as Deadshot, is a mercenary and one arch-nemesis of Batman. He is considered to be the world's deadliest assassin (possibly behind Deathstroke) and never misses a shot, especially with his pair of silenced, wrist-mounted 9mm cannons. Deadshot disdains himself almost as much as his targets; several prison psychologists have diagnosed him with "suicidal tendencies."

Batman: Arkham Origins
Deadshot is one of the eight assassins hired by the Joker, under the guise of Black Mask, to kill Batman. His attempt to kill Batman first involved shooting down a police helicopter, in order to get his attention. In the process, he also killed a cop who aimed a gun at Batman by ricocheting the shot off of him and onto the helicopter. After finding out Deadshot was behind this, Batman hacked into his radio frequency and Deadshot told him to confront him at the Gotham Merchants Bank, saying he has a hostage with him.

At the Gotham Merchants Bank, Batman confronted Deadshot and his henchmen while avoiding his ricochet shots. After defeating him, Deadshot accepts his defeat and asks Batman to give him a swift death, but he refuses and leaves him to be arrested.
