DC Just Reimagined Batman’s Best Villain of the 2010s (Ahead of Rumored Movie Debut)

The Court of Owls first appeared in the 2011 Batman storyline, but it was revealed they’d secretly controlled Gotham City since its very beginning. This group of powerful and corrupt citizens used undead assassins called Talons to manipulate events from the shadows, remaining hidden even from Batman. Now, DC Comics has completely reinvented the Court for a darker universe. In Absolute Batman #17, readers meet the Absolute Court of Owls, which is significantly different from the original. Shockingly, Bruce Wayne’s own mother, Martha Wayne, is revealed to be one of its members.
