Killer Moth is a villain in the Batman: Arkham game series.
History[]
Batgirl Begins[]
Sometime following the defeat of Black Mask during the events on Christmas Eve, Drury Walker checked out books about moths from Barbara Gordon and staked out her and her father, the newly promoted Commissioner Gordon, which Barbara noticed.
Later a GCPD panel was held that proved Batman was simply a man with gadgets not some 'paranormal entity'. Killer Moth crashed it to advertise his services with a free trial of killing Commissioner Gordon while his henchmen kept Batman preoccupied on the other side of Gotham. Barbara quickly put on the sample Batman costume, managed to defeat Killer Moth's Henchmen, and disarmed the villain.
After he realized that his plans were falling apart, Killer Moth threw Gordon off the rafters to kill him and used that as a diversion for his escape. As Barbara saved her father, Drury made his escape, and tried to calm himself down by saying that Batgirl was just a girl in a suit, like Batman, who happened to arrive just in time and subdued him.
Batman: Assault on Arkham[]
Drury was sent to Arkham Asylum when it was reopened, where his weaponry and other attributes were taken from him and put in the storage room, next to Firefly's (where it was seen by King Shark when the Suicide Squad invaded the madhouse).
Road to Arkham[]
Before Joker was brought back to Arkham Asylum, Killer Moth was under treatment at the asylum and was one of the many inmates who escaped Arkham Island in the ensuing chaos.
Batman: Arkham Asylum[]
During his time at Arkham Asylum, Killer Moth had killed two inmates and Batman later discovered one of their remains sealed in a cocoon.
Batman: Arkham City[]
Although never seen, it is very likely that Killer Moth was present in Arkham City as it was said that all of Gotham's citizens with a criminal record were incarcerated.
Batman: Arkham Knight[]
After Halloween and Batman's presumed death, Killer Moth felt that it was safe to resume his crimes again. However, he crossed paths with the new vigilante, the Red Hood, and was presumed dead.
Kill Arkham Asylum Incident[]
Around five years after surviving his run-in with the Red Hood, Killer Moth was one of many prisoners incarcerated in the newly upgraded Arkham Asylum. At one point a tied-up Harley Quinn witnesses him being waterboarded as a consequence of the guards wanting him to shut up. At a future point he is observed by King Shark, being assaulted by the guards for not keeping his cell tidy. Later, he can be seen in the midst of the riot, wearing his trademark suit.
Trivia[]
- The cocoon hanging in the Aviary appeared to have been there for a long time. However, it was safe to assume that the Arkham staff would have it removed once it was discovered since the skeleton needed to be investigated and identified. Taking that into account, it was very likely that Killer Moth was inside the Aviary, had committed the murder before Joker took over Arkham Island, and that he later escaped in the chaos. That wouldn't explain the state of the corpse inside the cocoon, though.
