Following a string of horrific killings that rattle Gotham City, Batman starts to suspect that maybe these crimes are more complex than they first seem. The Caped Crusader uncovers a scheme that dates back to his early years and even farther, to the founding of the city he has vowed to defend, as he starts to solve this deadly riddle.
Batman has heard rumours about the Court of Owls in Gotham City, and that its members are the real rulers of the city. The tales were written off by the Dark Knight as hearsay and tall tales. It was his city, Gotham. Right now.
The most brilliant and successful people in the city, as well as its most lethal and dangerous, are being targeted by a vicious assassin with razor-sharp claws. His lords are more formidable predators than Batman could have ever imagined, if the dark stories are to be believed.
