Zeus - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

The father of Cassie Sandsmark, aka Wonder Girl. 

Victor Zsasz - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

A Gotham-based serial killer and enemy of the Bat Family. 

Batgirl - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

A moniker previously used by Barbara Gordon, aka Oracle. 

Batgirl ii - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

A moniker occasionally used by Cassandra Cain, aka Orphan. 

Batgirl iii - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

A moniker occasionally used by Stephanie Brown, aka Spoiler, she is a proud member of the Batgirls team.  

While she loves being Batgirl, she has always felt like she needed to prove herself, not only to live up to the role of her predecessors, but also as the daughter of a costumed super-villain.

She is working through these insecurities and feelings of self-doubt. 

Robin iv - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

A moniker previously used by Stephanie Brown, aka Spoiler, < 4 years ago. 

She always felt like she needed to prove herself, not only to live up to the role of her predecessor, but also as the daughter of a costumed super-villain.

She has since been working on her self-worth, confidence and self-belief. 

One of her proudest achievements came when she solved all of the Riddler’s riddles just ten minutes after the G.C.P.D. received them.

Robin - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

A moniker previously used by Dick Grayson, aka Nightwing, <16 years ago, he was the original person to bear the name Robin.

He chose the alias himself, to honour his late parents, as it was the nickname his mother, Mary, gave him during his childhood at Haly’s Circus. 

A skilled acrobat from his years performing with The Flying Graysons, Dick’s enthusiasm and risk-taking often led to disciplinary bans from certain missions. At one point, he was specifically forbidden from engaging Poison Ivy after an encounter with Isley resulted in him being swallowed by a pitcher plant—twice.

This ban would last until he matured enough to heed instructions and avoid unnecessarily endangering himself in the field.

Robin ii - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

A moniker previously used by Jason Todd, aka Red Hood, < 7 years ago. He started out around the same time that Renee Montoya joined the GCPD.

Growing up in the Bowery, he saw firsthand the fear and harm that criminals inflicted on innocent people. Determined to help, he vowed to make a difference in his neighbourhood. Known for his brash and aggressive nature, he rarely held back in combat.

Jason's time as Robin was short-lived — he was brutally murdered by the Joker, who beat him with a crowbar and left him to die in an explosion.

Robin iii - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

A moniker previously used by Tim Drake, aka Red Robin, < 4 years ago, after persuading Batman to recruit him following the death of his predecessor, Jason Todd. 

He was forced to give up the role after Damian Wayne arrived in Gotham and demanded that he hold the mantle as Batman's biological son. This caused a great deal of bitterness and resentment between the two, which they have since reconciled. 

Robin V - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

A current alias of Damian Wayne. 

Drake - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

A moniker previously used by Tim Drake, aka Red Robin. 

Emile Dorian - Batman: The Animated Series

A rogue geneticist and pioneer in DNA splicing, Dr Emile Dorian, developed a fascination with cats. His early experiments caused painful, irreversible mutations, and his creation of the mutagen T-99 further cemented his reputation for animal cruelty. Ostracised by the scientific community, Dorian was forced to leave mainland Gotham and continue his work on a remote island off the coast.

There, he created two human-animal hybrids: Garth, his servant, and Tygrus, whom he regarded as his son and the pinnacle of his research. When Tygrus confessed to feeling lonely, Dorian sought to create the perfect companion for him. Believing cat burglar Selina Kyle to be the ideal match, he sent Garth to kidnap her and transformed her into a human-cat hybrid.

Selina’s abduction drew Batman’s attention. Dorian unleashed Tygrus to hunt the Dark Knight across the island, but when Tygrus discovered that his “father” viewed him merely as a weapon, he turned against Dorian, accidentally setting the lab ablaze. Despite this, Tygrus saved Dorian’s life and handed him over to Batman.

Batman delivered Dorian to the GCPD, and he was later committed to Arkham Asylum. 

Dorian's Man-Bat Serum - The Batman Adventures

Modified by Emile Dorian from his former colleague’s research, this version of the Man-Bat formula stripped its victim of free will, turning them into a mindless pawn. 

Dorian used it on Langstrom as part of his revenge scheme against Batman and Catwoman, turning Man-Bat into his puppet. 

Dr Dorian's Island - The Batman Adventures

Following Dr Emile Dorian’s arrest by Batman and the GCPD, his private island remained under police surveillance.

Many officers grew uneasy, believing the supposedly abandoned island was still inhabited by someone—or something—unknown.

They were right. The island was still home to Dorian’s genetic creation, Tygrus.

Meanwhile, Anthony Romulus, seeking a cure for his lycanthropy, broke through the GCPD barricades and entered the island in search of Dorian, unaware that he had been imprisoned. Encountering Tygrus, Romulus persuaded him to help find his “father” in exchange for information about Selina Kyle—Catwoman—Tygrus’s unrequited love.

Dr Emile Dorian - The Batman Adventures

After an encounter with Batman, Dr Emile Dorian was arrested and sent to Arkham Asylum for the Criminally Insane. A freak lightning storm later destroyed the wall of his cell, allowing him to escape.

Fueled by revenge against Batman and Catwoman, Dorian targeted his former colleague, Dr Kirk Langstrom, forcibly injecting him with a modified Man-Bat serum.

He then kidnapped Batman and Selina Kyle, intending to perform invasive genetic experiments on them. When Tygrus arrived unexpectedly, Dorian altered his plan—promising his “son” a human body by transferring his mind into Batman’s.

Before the procedure could be completed, Dorian’s lab was attacked by the werewolf Anthony Romulus. As Dorian ordered Man-Bat to defend him, chaos erupted, and a massive fire consumed the facility. Dorian, Tygrus, Langstrom, and Romulus were all reported missing and presumed dead.

The Werewolf - The Batman Adventures

Unable to control the transformations caused by Professor Milo’s serum, Anthony Romulus sought help from Dr Emile Dorian, unaware that Dorian had been arrested after an encounter with Batman.

Teaming up with Tygrus, whom he met on Dorian’s former island, Romulus searched for the doctor before his next transformation. However, the two were separated when Tygrus witnessed Man-Bat abducting Selina Kyle from her apartment.

By the time Romulus reached Dorian’s lab, he had fully transformed into his werewolf form. Attacking the scientist, he clashed with both Man-Bat and Tygrus, and their violent struggle sparked a fire that consumed the entire building. All four were presumed dead.

Black Bat - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

A moniker previously used by Cassandra Cain, aka Orphan. 

Condiment King - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

The alter ego of Buddy Standler, Condiment King, is a costumed super-criminal and enemy of the Bat Family. 

None of the family likes to go up against him, finding his gimmick of using condiment-themed weapons messy and annoying. 

The Baffler - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

The alter-ego of Titus Czonka, the Baffler, is a costumed super-villain and enemy of the Bat Family. 

Red Robin considers him to be a knock-off Riddler. 

Kite Man - Batman: Wayne Family Adventures

The alter-ego of Charles "Chuck" Brown, Kite Man, is an enemy of the Bat-Family.

He is Spoiler's begrudging nemesis. 

Alexander Staunton - Nightwing

Formerly a child performer at Haly’s Circus, Alexander Staunton was groomed to become a Talon for the Court of Owls as part of the secret partnership between the two.

Henry Ballard - Nightwing

Formerly a child performer at Haly’s Circus, Henry Ballard was groomed to become a Talon for the Court of Owls as part of the secret partnership between the two.

Benjamin Haldman - Nightwing

Formerly a child performer at Haly’s Circus, Benjamin Haldman was groomed to become a Talon for the Court of Owls as part of the secret partnership between the two.

"Grayson" - Nightwing

The son of Amelia Crowne and William Cobb, his true parentage was concealed by Burton Crowne, who forcibly ended the couple’s relationship due to class prejudice against Cobb and arranged for Amelia to marry her second cousin.

Originally raised as a Crowne, the boy was later kidnapped by Cobb during his first year as a Talon for the Court of Owls. In gratitude for the Court’s patronage, Cobb pledged his bloodline to them. The child was given to Cobb’s friend Nathaniel and raised in Haly’s Circus, where he was groomed to follow in his father’s footsteps.

To honour his descent from Gotham’s Gray Sons, he was given the surname Grayson. 

Nathaniel - Nightwing

A friend of William Cobb, Nathaniel was a member of the Court of Owls. Recognising Cobb’s potential, he offered him a chance to prove himself as a Talon.

After Cobb kidnapped his infant son, Nathaniel took the child and, on Cobb's behalf, arranged for him to be raised by Haly’s Circus, declaring him the first of Gotham’s Gray Sons—a chosen bloodline destined to rule the city among the elite who had once betrayed him.

Talon (Carver) - Batman: The Dark Knight

The alter ego of the Talon, Alton Carver, was one of the longest-serving assassins in the Court of Owls’ history.

Ruthless and efficient, he carried out the Court’s will with precision, preserving their secrecy and control over Gotham. However, after a series of costly mistakes—including the unplanned deaths of three police officers and a botched public execution disrupted by Batman early in his career—the Court deemed him sloppy and a liability. He was subsequently placed in cryogenic stasis for several years.

Carver was reawakened during the Night of the Owls in 2012 and sent to assassinate Lincoln March, ambushing him in his campaign office. Though he fatally stabbed March, the politician struck back with a taser and a gunshot to the head.

When Carver regained consciousness, Batman had arrived—but too late to save March. The two fought, and Carver was thrown from a window, surviving the fall and escaping into the sewers.

Batman then assigned Robin, Red Robin, and Nightwing to hunt down the Talon while he pursued March’s lead to the Court’s ruling council.

Alton Carver - Batman: The Dark Knight

A former performer at Haly's Circus, Alton Carver, showed exceptional talent as a knife thrower, gymnast, and acrobat—qualities that drew the attention of the Court of Owls. To test his ability to overcome fear, his ringmaster and handler locked him in a trailer and set it ablaze. Carver survived, badly burned but alive, and proved himself worthy of the Court’s interest.

He was inducted into the Court’s service and, for the next 26 years, operated as one of their most loyal and enduring Talons, holding one of the longest records in the role’s history.

After several professional missteps and a confrontation with Batman, the Court deemed him obsolete and placed him in cryogenic stasis—until his reawakening during the Night of the Owls in 2012.

Before the deaths of the Flying Graysons, the Court intended for his successor to be Dick Grayson.

Haly's Circus - Batman: The Dark Knight

While Haly’s Circus brought joy to thousands across America, it concealed a dark secret known only to a select few: it served as a recruitment front for the Court of Owls, grooming young performers to become their Talons.

Ringmasters acted as drill sergeants, pushing candidates to their absolute limits—only the best were deemed worthy of the Court.

As of 2012, and the Night of Owls, this practice was still ongoing.

Lincoln March - Batman: The Dark Knight

In 2012, Gotham City mayoral candidate Lincoln March became one of the many targets during the Night of Owls. Despite being an ally of the Court of Owls, they sent the Talon, aka Anton Carver, to assassinate him in his campaign office.

Carver fatally stabbed March, but March retaliated with a taser to the chest and a gunshot to the head.

Unbeknownst to Carver, March had stolen and ingested liquid electrum, granting him the ability to return from the dead. 

Otis - Forever Evil

A security guard at LexCorp, Otis, was on duty during the Crime Syndicate's invasion of Earth. 

He was killed by Subject B-0 after attempting to shoot Lex Luthor, who had ordered the clone to execute Otis as a test of loyalty and obedience.

The Teen Titans - Forever Evil

After witnessing Nightwing’s public unmasking on live TV by the Crime Syndicate, Red Robin mobilised the Teen Titans to rescue him from the downed Watchtower.

Upon arriving in Happy Harbour, they battled Johnny Quick and Atomica while trying to save a group of soldiers. However, the Titans were quickly defeated when Johnny disrupted Kid Flash’s powers with his own vibrational frequency, causing the team to be forcibly transported to the 30th Century.

Members: 

• Red Robin
• Kid Flash
• Raven
• Solstice
• Superboy
• Wonder Girl

The Monocle - Forever Evil

Joining the expanded Secret Society, the Monocle, aka Jonathan Cheval, attended a meeting of costumed supervillains hosted by the Crime Syndicate. 

Believing that the meeting was a trap, he challenged the Syndicate, suggesting that they were really the Justice League in disguise. For this insubordination, he was killed by Ultraman's heat vision. 

Sean Riley - Batman: Arkham Shadow

The head of Gotham’s Irish mob, Sean Riley, owns Riley’s Old Irish Pub, which he built himself in the Bowery and now uses as the base of his criminal operations.

He is the father of Peyton Riley, who would later become the Ventriloquist II.

During the Fourth of July Rats’ Riots, Sean stayed behind to defend the pub while his wife and children went to stay with his cousin until the Day of Wrath had passed. 

Alexandra Bracket - Batman: Arkham Shadow

Alexandra Bracket is a journalist and reporter for the Gotham Globe & Gotham Globe Live. 

Julian Gregory Day - Batman: Arkham Shadow

The civilian identity of the Calendar Man, Julian Gregory Day, was sent to Blackgate Prison following his capture by Batman.

Initially declared criminally insane and unfit to stand trial by Dr Harleen Quinzel, Warden Martin Joseph coerced the young intern into reversing her evaluation so Day could be convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to death. Quinzel agreed in exchange for a permanent position.

After Enigma exposed evidence of Joseph’s corruption, Day was retried and officially found criminally insane. He was transferred from Blackgate to the Potomac Psychiatric Hospital for rehabilitation, though the facility was ill-equipped to manage him.

On July 4th, Day rigged a microwave to explode, killing two people in what staff later described as a “grim parody of an Independence Day fireworks display.”

He escaped in the chaos, prompting widespread panic within the GCPD, who classified him as highly dangerous and in need of a specialised facility capable of handling his complex psychological condition.

Calendar Man - Batman: Arkham Shadow

Julian Gregory Day, aka Calendar Man, is a convicted serial killer responsible for more than a dozen murders. Obsessed with dates and calendars, he committed his crimes on major global holidays.

After his capture by Batman, Day was sent to Blackgate Prison. Despite being declared criminally insane, corruption within the judicial system led to his sentencing to death.

During the first Christmas Eve riot at Blackgate, he escaped and murdered Judge Fremont Harkness—the “hanging judge” who had condemned him—as an act of revenge.

Recaptured by police, and with evidence revealing falsified psychiatric evaluations by Blackgate staff, Day was retried and officially declared insane. He was transferred to the Potomac Psychiatric Hospital for rehabilitation. 

On July 4th, Calendar Man escaped again, killing two people in the process. He is considered extremely dangerous.

Historia Strigidae - Gotham Knights

Penned by Erastus Clark, the Historia Strigidae was intended as a gift to the Voice of the Court, detailing the origins and purpose of the Court of Owls. Believing the Court and the Council had lost their way, Clark hoped the book would help set them back on course.

However, in writing it, he violated the Court’s first rule: “Not a whispered word is said.” In doing so, he condemned himself and his family to death.

After completing the only manuscript, Clark entrusted it to a friend with instructions to publish it if anything happened to him. Before that could occur, both men were killed, and the book was lost.

Years later, one of Clark’s descendants recovered the manuscript, tore out its pages, and scattered them across Gotham.

In 2022, these pages were rediscovered by the Gotham Knight, who used the compiled research in their fight against the Court.
