An original novel pitting Batman against the Court of Owls, a
secret society of wealthy families that's controlled Gotham for
centuries using murder and money. Beware the Court of Owls, that
watches all the time Ruling Gotham from a shadowed perch, behind
granite and lime They watch you at your hearth, they watch you in
your bed Speak not a whispered word about them, or they'll send the
Talon for your head. --a nursery rhyme The Court of Owls is a
criminal secret society that has existed in Gotham City since the
1600s, led by some of the city's wealthiest and most influential
families. They employ deadly trained assassins known as Talons,
taken as children from circuses such as the one where Dick
Grayson's parents were killed. These children are trained to become
the assassins known as Talons. Bruce Wayne came to the Court's
attention when he announced plans to reinvigorate Gotham,
threatening their control. They sentenced him to death, bringing
themselves to the attention of Batman. Though they suffer defeats,
the Court continues to fight to retake control of the city's
underworld - a fight that has gone on for centuries. Copyright (c)
