Should Deacon Blackfire appear in The Enemy Within?

Hi, All. I played Episode 1 of The Enigma yesterday and noticed Riddler mentions his "friends" whom he leaves ambiguous. I think Telltale should have the cult be his friends. Here are a list of reasons why:

1. The effect he has on Batman

While Bane and other adversaries of his have outmatched the Bat physically such as Bane and Deathstroke, Blackfire is the only villain to my memory to have completely broken Batman (via torture and preaching) to mentally and use him to bend him to his twisted philosophy and force him to adopt his ideals. He even succeeds in making Batman break his Golden rule. This would be an interesting thing for players to take on as we hardly see Batman mentally broken the way Blackfire seems to do it

2. Most Batman Villains are Overused

Telltale did the right thing by making Joker and uncertain all (kinda?) Instead of an antagonist. I don't think he'll be an antagonist and even if he isn't many other villains such as the Riddler have bad their time to shine and the recognition they deserve. Where as Blackfire is (in my opinion) the most underrated villain in the series.

3. His motives and his charisma make him believable

Blackfire is able to charm Gotham's poor to stand up against the system and take justice into their own hands. Arguing that criminals in Gotham are never really punished or stopped only to be free by "inhuman lawyers" and out in public to cause more harm. He proves to be a bigger threat for even Jim Gordon and brings Gotham to heel.

Overall I'd just love to see Telltale's take on the character as religious villains are often very interesting. Please give your thoughts
