Giovanni Luchese (Batman Arkham Origins)

First Appearance: Batman Arkham Origins

Giovanni was a criminal who worked under Black Mask, operating in Gotham City as his body double. He was 31 years old.

Prior to Christmas Eve, Luchese had warrants for assault and assualt with a weapon.

Due to Black Mask's paranoia, Sionis sends Luchese in to his safe house after suspecting that he may be being targeted by someone. Luchese serves as a distraction while Sionis gets the element of surprise on Joker, who shoots him on sight, knowing that he is not the real Sionis. The shot from the Joker kills him instantly going right through his heart. Joker covers up the murder by setting off a Molatov cocktail, which caused charing that made it impossible for anyone to identify the body if it was found. 

Penguin went to Lacey Towers afterwards and discovers the dead body. He checks to see if it really is Black Mask and furiously reacts when he finds out it isn't him as Roman Sionis had a pacemaker and Luchese did not.


Batman discovers his body along with Tiffany Ambrose on Christmas Eve. He is unable identify him as he was wearing a black mask and his skin is burned and charred.  

Batman later learns that he was the male victim in the Lacey Tower murder after using the National Criminal Database to identify the small amount of DNA that survived.
