Batman: Arkham Legacy - 10 Villains We Want To See
8. The Court Of Owls
Already widely tipped to be the main antagonists in this new entry, the Court of Owls are a terrifying proposition indeed.
Faceless, numberless, hidden in the shadows, this clandestine organisation has secretly been pulling the strings and greasing the wheels in Gotham for centuries.
Infiltrating every tier of society, and comprising members of all the prominent Gotham families, the Court of Owls are a seemingly untouchable force who some – including a certain Mr Wayne – do not believe actually exist. For many, they are a thing of myth, an old wives' tale invented to scare children at night.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, etc…
More terrifying than their omnipresence, and perhaps even more terrifying than their family portraits, are the Court's Talons. Invincible, maybe immortal, these assassins are the strong arms of the Court; the ones who have spilled the blood of thousands to shape Gotham as their masters’ decree.
Perhaps the most compelling argument for the inclusion of the Court, however, concerns one Talon in particular – William Cobb. The current serving Talon dispatched to kill Bruce Wayne is none other than the great grandfather of Nightwing himself, Dick Grayson.
