That's the reason I'm so sure it'll be an Arkham Knight wave. It would also make sense why we haven't seen anything yet, because the game developers in general are being fairly secretive so they're probably making Mattel hold off at least until the next big con (SDCC?) happens.

If I were to guess the selection, I would expect AK armored Batman, Harley Quinn, Two-Face and maybe Riddler.

We're getting a movie version of Penguin, so I'm assuming that they'll stay away from the character for a while. Same with Catwoman. Harley and Two-Face both featured prominently in the initial trailer, and Riddler is being hyped up as having his largest role yet in the Arkham series. I forget how many characters we get per wave, but logically Scarecrow will have a guaranteed slot since he is (supposedly) the ringleader of the villains. Mattel doesn't always follow logic though - notice how we didn't get either Black Mask or Joker, and instead got an extremely minor AO character like Deadshot.

Honestly, though, the selection doesn't matter a whole lot to me so long as we get plenty of villains. I would love to finally get a Robin if he happens to make an appearance in the game, but that's wishful thinking.
