Batman Arkham: Court Of Owls - 9 New Villains That Need To Be Included

If all the rumours, leaks and teases are true, it seems as though we're getting the Court Of Owls as the big bad of the next Arkham game. A more recent fixture of the Batman mythos, this secret society of highly trained assassins act as a formidable adversary to Batman that has pulled the strings behind Gotham since the Colonial times.

Kidnapping young children from the circus and training them up as deadly killers known as Talons, The Court Of Owls are one of Gotham's oldest and most menacing threats. Their exceptional ability in combat and extensive connections within the city make them a worthy main villain for an upcoming fifth Arkham game, offering both a physical threat to Batman as well as a political one.

Unlike his battles against criminals in the other titles, the Court Of Owls have eyes everywhere and friends that reach from Gotham's underworld to its biggest players. As well as offering some potentially tantalising boss battles with the dangerous Talons, they'll also have the means to unmask and expose Batman, adding another layer to the potential sequel.

It's practically confirmed that this elusive secret society will go head to head with Batman in his next outing, but that doesn't stop them from being a perfect choice to headline the next Arkham adventure.
