The Myth and Might of the Court of Owls
Before we embark on this literary scavenger hunt though, it helps to understand precisely what makes the Court of Owls worthy of such obsessive investigation by Batman‘s clan.
As Gotham City evolved over centuries from colonial outpost to bustling metropolis, elite family dynasties used their wealth to capture power behind the scenes. By the mid-1800s, they formalized this influence into a secret society known as the Court of Owls.
On the surface, the Court sponsors cultural institutions like the Gotham Museum of Art. But behind an aristocratic façade lies a ruthless criminal network manipulating every lever in Gotham society.
Through bribery, coercion and murder, they control politicians, police officials, judges and more – all to expand their crooked enterprises. Anyone daring to threaten their interests soon meets a grisly end via their lethal enforcers, the Talons.
So when series of clues link a mysterious new organized crime outfit to this shadowy group, Batman ́s team know they must uncover more about this nemesis.
Scattered across Gotham are pages from a mysterious document called “Historia Strigidae” – “History of Owls” – chronicling this group’s concealed past. Gathering all 42 leads our heroes towards confirming the Court’s corruption…and tips on dismantling it!
