The narrator of these fragments, surprisingly, is the Penguin. He tells Nightwing how little he, Batman, Commissioner Gordon or anyone else knew about Gotham. In fact, the city has long been run from behind the scenes by a mysterious group known as the Court of Owls.
This material offers us a new and better perspective on the members of the sinister organization. While the leaders of it do not make too much of an impression, their soldiers – Claws – are a completely different story. These opponents show great strength and agility. They will surely provide players with many hard times.
In addition, material from behind the scenes of the formation of the Tribunal of Owls was also published. Villain writers Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo talk about their inspiration and impressions of transferring these still relatively new characters to other media. One of DC’s bosses, Jim Lee, also commented on the topic.
Gotham Knights is set to debut in 2022.
