Batman is one of DC’s most iconic heroes, and the cape and cowl-wearing vigilante has amassed a number of equally theatrical villains over his long career as a crime-fighter. While flashy criminals such as the Joker, the Penguin, and the Riddler are generally the first to come to mind when it comes to Bat-Villains, a relatively new addition to his Gotham City rogues gallery has proven to be one of his most formidable opponents, which is further shown in DC’s latest Black Label series.Introduced in 2012 as a part of DC’s New 52 initiative, the Court of Owls debuted in Batman (Vol. 2) #4 (by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo). Since their introduction, the secret society has both run Gotham City from behind the scenes and vexed the Dark Knight whenever he dared to get in the way of their plans. However, the Court takes things a bit further in DC’s new Black Label series Batman: City of Madness (by Christian Ward and Hassan Otsmane-Elhaou) when they unwittingly release a horrifying version of the Dark Knight upon Gotham City.The book also reveals that the Court of Owls was not only aware of Gotham Below but took on the task of guarding the portal to the hellish realm. The Court made specific mention of a dangerous creature that existed there that could not be allowed into their version of Gotham. Unfortunately, the Court is betrayed by one of their own, and the portal is opened. One of the Court’s elite Talons is dispatched to destroy the opening before the creature is released and loses an arm for his trouble courtesy of the creature the Court was trying to keep out of Gotham – a dark, horrific version of Batman.
