Batman: Arkham Origins - 10 Coolest Easter Eggs, Secrets And References Explained

4. Zatanna's Magic Show

Zatanna may technically belong to the "wider DC universe", but she's also pretty synonymous with the Dark Knight. The pair have been crimefighting partners and even share a romantic history, and while the famed daughter of magician Zatarra never made a physical appearance in the Arkhamverse, she is honoured on more than one occasion in Arkham Origins.

While wandering through the Jezebel Centre, players are able to find a poster advertising Zatanna's own magic show. Players have also pointed out a possible connection between the character and the My Alibi nightclub where Batman apprehends Bird, as you can spy a similar looking top hat in the building.

Zatanna isn't the only Bat-related character to get a shout in-game though. There are references to Basil Karlo, AKA Clayface; the Flying Graysons, the first Robin's acrobatic troupe; and even to some fan-favourite GCPD characters who didn't make the final cut for the title, including Renee Montoya (who later adopts the mantle of The Question), and Crispus Allen, who eventually becomes The Spectre in the comics.
