Copperhead appears in Batman: Arkham Origins as one of the eight assassins sent to kill Batman. She is a sleek and agile South American hitwoman who uses poisons and sharp claws as weapons. She is seen sneaking up on Batman while he is interrogating Black Mask. She manages to poison him before he can fight her. The poison causes Batman to start hallucinating and he sees a group of Copperheads. When Batman beats them all, he gets the antidote and defeats the real Copperhead. He ties her up and locks her inside a truck.
Later when Batman updates the bat computer, it is revealed Copperhead is a member of a South American cartel, and that the Copperhead alias may be used by several other members of the cartel .
She was voiced by Rosa Salazar. This version of the character was later imported to the comics.
