Why do you think it end up that way? They control Gotham City in way, that is useful to them alone. They are (in way) corrupt politicians that steal public money. And if Gotham City become too bad even for them? Just burn it down and built again with them deeply in its roots.
Ok so here's my idea, court of owls vs league of assassins! They wanna go after ras because he aimed to destroy Gotham. Who would win? Would talon become owlman and become the new head of the demon?
I am wondering, if they hunted Waynes, but never let them die out, because that bat prophecy about Wayne. It would explain, why they were in Gotham in first place and how Bruce's family survived. When they decided to kill Bruce, there was already Damian and other (adopted) children in play to keep Wayne living.
I'm still really disappointed that William Cobb's codename wasn't owlman and the other assassins were Talons. How could an organization like this not have a self serving calling card.
Correction: The court of owls didn't rename themselves to the parlament of owls. Actually, the court of owls is a branch of the parlament. Think of this as a League of assassins and league of shadows deal
While the Court of Owls was in the Gotham live action show, the story was changed to be a group created by Ra's Al Ghul as one of many groups controlling parts of the world with Ra's secret group being a step or two higher. Also, while Ra's Al Ghule is not known to torture and murder unnecessarily, in the Gotham show he was shown to be just that by way of taking the life of a child in front of Bruce. And when the Court was no longer necessary, Ra's Al Ghul purged them all out of existence. The story of the Court of Owls in that show is not as good as in the comic and I get the sense that the writers didn't know the lore all that well.
Are you mispronouncing names on purpose? It's Robert Pattinson, not Patterson. I don't watch Game of Thrones even I know its Tyrion Lannister, and not Tyrone (maybe that's an inside joke in the GoT community I don't know about?).
Oh no! He murdered innocent owls in his attic. I hate Bruce Wayne now. He once was a favorite. I lost both of my parents young too and I didn’t murder innocent animals so don’t use that as an excuse for animal cruelty. Bye Bruce, you evil, little a-hole.
Well the Comic isnt bad but the ending of the City of Owls storyline is not that good .. too much mystery is still there and nothing is explained for real...
I could see why people don't like it. Altho, just from reading your comment, in this case, it can be a good ending. Afterall, the Court is much more of a mysterious organisation and the comic itself puts an effect on you, the effect of "I wanna know more". Just saying though.
The most boring and overrated group of villains in Batman ever. Oh look at us we're a secretive group of elites controlling Gotham wearing stupid owl masks with highly trained assassins. 🥱
That 1st story arc written by Snyder is 1 of the best Batman comics of all time. Now after their 1st appearance they definitely started becoming lame but I think they could still be used correctly we just need the right writer to pick it up.
