Bruce Wayne encountered many villains during his tenure as Gotham's protector, but few were as deadly as the city's most sinister secret society. The Court of Owls is an organization made up of several of Gotham's most powerful and influential citizens who secretly run the city. The Court's influence dates back to the city's beginnings and their Talon Assassins, who have been able to direct events in Gotham so they can gain more power and grow richer. Batman has confronted the Court of Owls on several occasions, and though he has survived their many attempts, they remain a dire threat that awaits him in the shadows.

However, the Court is one of the most insidious organizations in the DC Universe, with only one version proving itself to be a thorn in Batman's side. The multitude of institutions modeled on the Court in the multiverse could be dangerous, especially if they decide to work together and take their control to the next level. Fans can see the dangers facing the Court of Owls in Batman/Spawn #1, which is out now.
