While the overarching plot illustrates a broader history to Gotham City and Batman’s naivete in his knowledge of Gotham, the central story which drives the plot forward is that of the Court of Owls, an organised crime society once thought to be a myth and titular feature in a children’s poem, passed down through generations. Similarly, as readers, we too discover that we didn’t know as much as we thought.
This essentially is the main plot of The Court of Owls, wherein Bruce Wayne/Batman realises that there is so much that he does not know about the very city his ancestors helped build. In The Court of Owls, previously uncovered elements of Gotham City are revealed along with deep secrets that even the world’s greatest detective wasn’t clued in on. Batman: The Court of Owls is the first volume of Batman books published in DC Comics’ The New 52 series and is the debut story arc by comic book hotshots Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo.
