In this episode of The Batman Universe Podcast, Scott is once again joined by Rob from Comic Book Chronicles. The two chat about Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s canon-altering “The Court of Owls” storyline that first appeared in the revamped Batman #1 (from the New 52 era).
It’s been nearly 14 years since the debut of the Court of Owls. After a smashing success, it wasn’t long before the court was adapted into TV shows, video games, and other media. The court was also expanded, growing into a worldwide Parliament of Owls, as well as off-shoots like the Court of Eagles.
While the impact of “The Court of Owls” and subsequent “Night of the Owls” storylines have certainly left their mark, how do they hold up? Are they the worthy Batman adversaries we’ve been led to believe, and do they earn their place in the Batman mythos?
