Batman: Arkham - Everything You Need To Know About The Court Of Owls

7. They've Experimented With Genetics

Court of Owls Talon

Illustrating the Court's horror factor potentially even better than the Talons themselves are their genetic experiments, which have given birth to actual owl-human hybrids.

These animal-human monstrosities differ from the rest of the Court in that they A: aren't normal humans who hail from Gotham's elite, and B; haven't been plucked from the city's seemingly endless supply of local circuses. They have distorted faces and talons, and cut a menacing figure all around.

The Arkham games love a good enemy type, and it would be wise to expect these Owl-Human... things, will appear as grunts for the Dark Knight to face in one of the next title's presumably many freeflow segments.
