Batman: Arkham Knight Batgirl DLC - 9 Big Things It Finally Gets Right

7. Harley's Look

For some reason or another Rocksteady elected to bypass Harley's iconic costume in favour of their own spin on Quinn's outfit, and although it's found itself a place in the hearts of many a fan, nothing has really come close to topping the original Bruce Timm design. The Arkhamverse take on the original BTAS vision for Harley is very welcome despite its few minutes of screen time. The fact that previous entries have all opted for more sexualised styles for Quinzel to dress in only adds to the sense that this rendition has been long overdue, and Montréal's unashamed embrace of the look is bound to delight fans of the character all over. It's a bit of a disappointment that she didn't get her trademark oversized mallet to use in the final encounter, but her physical and narrative presence in the later Easter eggs cements Harley as being one of the key forces of the Arkham universe.
Content Producer/Presenter

WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well. In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
