Nightmare Fuel / Night of the Owls

Go To

There's a lot of it when it comes to the Night Of the Owls. Unmarked Spoilers Ahead!


  • The Talons as a whole. Elite assassins and Implacable Men who can take even Batman by surprise? Sweet dreams!
    • The scene in which the seemingly-dead Talon returns to life while being transported in the ambulance and kills the two unlucky paramedics driving it. Just imagine it from their perspective, powerless to do anything.
    • Similarly, when the Court decides to take over Gotham, they send all their Talons to kill the town's higher-ups. There are a few pages from their perspective, while a Talon says to them that the Court of Owls has sentenced them to death... before going for the killing blow. Sucks to be Innocent Bystanders in Gotham...
  • Batman seemingly becoming something utterly monstrous and grotesque as he gets a second wind in the Court's maze. And before that, the appearance of the Court of Owls, which he hallucinates as half-man, half-bird people. Especially that little girl who insists that he must suffer more before being killed.
  • The fates of the likes of Alan Wayne and Jarvis Pennyworth, both tormented to their deaths by the Court and their Talon.
  • The method used by the Court to kill their major opponents is quite chilling. They lock them up in a maze, slowly driving them insane, before killing them.
