Court Of Owls Origins - Batman's Most Vicious Enemy Who Ruled His Life Like A Puppeteer

It’s safe to assume that you and I are fans of the superhero genre because you are watching this video, and I am narrating it. Now, as two people who love superheroes, we have seen a plethora of villains, some cunning like the Joker and some uber-powerful like Darkseid. However, the DC universe recently added a new group of villains to its long list, and they are the most fascinating group of villains that I have encountered recently. These people go by the name Court of Owls and are comprised of the most well-connected, richest, and most ancient families of Gotham. From a distance, it may seem like Gotham runs because of its politicians, the cops, and Batman. Some may say that the criminals control Gotham. However, all these people, including Batman, are mere pawns in the great game that the Court of Owls has been playing since a time when Gotham didn’t even exist. The Court members wear ghoulish owl masks, and meet in secret rooms where they hold Court, and decide the future of Gotham and their list of enemies to be executed. Interestingly, every owl has to have talons, and the Court of Owls creates super assassins called Talons, who are sometimes reanimated humans. Created by Scott Snyder, The Court of Owls first appeared in the 2011 comics titled The New 52 and became a favorite of anyone who had the luxury of reading the comics. In fact, Robert Pattinson remarked in a recent interview that his Batman should come face to face with the Court of Owls. So, in this video, we will introduce you to this cunning, nefarious, and sadistic cabal, before we dive deep into the New 52 story arc that featured the Owls. Let’s begin, shall we?
