Talon is a deadly assassin and enforcer associated with the Court of Owls in Batman lore. In many versions, the title "Talon" is used for a highly trained operative rather than a single individual, though some stories center on specific characters who bear the name. Talons are elite killers revived or conditioned to serve the Court, acting as its secret weapon and main physical threat to Batman and Gotham City. They represent the Court’s hidden power, secrecy, and control.
