10 Iconic Batman Moments We Still Haven't Seen On Film

7. The Siege Of Wayne Manor - The Court Of Owls

Batman Court Of Owls
DC Comics

Contrasting almost entirely to our last entry, The Seige of Wayne Manor is one of the most epic battles to ever take place at Wayne Manor.

After discovering that a secret ruling class called "The Court of Owls" (Owls, incidentally, are one of Bats' greatest predators) Batman is targeted by The Talon, the army of undead assassins that act as hitmen to the Court and in a pitched final battle that features the entire Bat-family bested; Batman almost entirely outmatched and kindly old Alfred Penny worth blasting fools with a double-barrel shotgun.

Yes. It's as epic as sounds. Scott Snyder appeared out of nowhere to pen The Court of Owl's storyline and quickly became one of Batman's greatest writers, delivering some of the freshest and most innovative Batman material in the last ten years, thanks to his leanings on horror conventions and strong social commentary.
