But how exactly do they do all that? Well, the aforementioned wealth and power has a lot to do with it, for starters. Speak not a whispered word about them, or they’ll send the Talon for your head.Ĭlearly, this is a group that has immense power in Gotham. They watch you at your hearth, they watch you in your bed. Ruling Gotham from a shadowed perch, behind granite and lime. Their legend has been passed from generation to generation in Gotham, and there’s even a nursery rhyme that talks about this sinister group:īeware the Court of Owls, that watches all the time, They control everything from the shadows, shaping the city and directing the course of its future to suit their own selfish needs and desires. They’re a violent cabal of millionaires, a gathering of the rich and the powerful who disguise their appearances with creepy owl masks. The Court of Owls have been around in Gotham City since Colonial times, maybe even before that. In Gotham itself, the Courts are a cultish conspiracy theory among the masses- commonly referred to in whispers and hushed tones, but never really talked about openly, either because people are too afraid of them, or because- you know, who knows if they even exist?īut they do exist. In a nutshell, the Court of Owls is a shadowy organization that has controlled every aspect of Gotham for ages. Yes, they’re not even a decade old, and yes, they’re actually younger than the Arkham games- and yes, they’ve still made a big enough impact that they’re going to play a major role in the upcoming Gotham Knights.Īnd that’s because of how expertly Snyder and Capullo baked them into Gotham’s history and Batman’s lore. The Court of Owls made their first appearance in 2011, when Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo teamed up for the now-legendary first two story arcs of the New 52, which rebooted DC’s continuity. In fact, they’re one of the most recent Batman villains. Freeze, for instance – the Court may very well be the main threat that the Batfamily will have to deal with.īut what exactly is the Court of Owls? What makes them so special? Well, outside of the story itself, what makes them so special is the fact that though they’re widely beloved by Batman fans as an excellent group of antagonists, and though they’ve clearly made a huge impact on Batman lore and Batman storytelling as a whole, they’re actually rather new. Gotham Knight’s reveal trailer did confirm that the Court of Owls will indeed figure into the story, and though it’s clear that several other Gotham rogues are going to have a part to play as well – we’ve already seen Mr. For almost two years now, WB Games Montreal have been teasing this game, and since their very first tease, they’ve hinted that the Court of Owls are going to be integral to the story, which is something that countless leaks have doubled down on as well. Gotham Knightsis very much in the Batman universe, but Batman himself isn’t going to be the star of the show, with the extended Batfamily of crime-fighting vigilantes – namely Nightwing, Robin, Batgirl, and Red Hood – taking center-stage.īut though the Caped Crusader himself is seemingly dead, it seems one of his greatest enemies will still very much be a threat in Gotham Knights. It was a long and torturous wait, but it’s finally come to an end- WB Games Montreal have finally revealed their long rumoured, long teased, and long leaked Batman game… only, it isn’t a Batman game.
