#CourtOfOwls #Batman #DC

[@Macktehduck]

in the universe with owl man would it be the court of bats

[@sharilshahed6106]

sons of bat if dark knight returns is anything

[@darkscorpionomega]

So interesting to note a group of Owls is called a parliament, a group of bats is called a colony

[@dragonballsoundeffects5991]

macktehduck "Owlman: Colony of the Bats"

[@bexjpeg9150]

Owl man is actually the leader of the Court of Owls which helps him to control the crime in Gotham. I still love the fact that the Colony of Bats would be a major adversary of Owl man! 😊

[@thomasredmond5793]

So it will be a wise man vs a court of nocturnal flying animals lol

[@Dapperdave-gg6vx]

The Court of Owls, Hush and the Batman who laughs-the list of how great Batman's rogue gallery is keeps on growing....

[@benjaminpointdexter7280]

Batman who laughs is one if the stupidest villains out there lmao he doesn’t hold a candle to the true villains of Batman

[@MetalizedButt]

I’d rank the animated movies in the following order: number 1 Under The Red Hood, number 2 Mask Of The Phantasm, and number 3 The Killing Joke

[@siralfred2446]

Batman is literally carrying the entire dc universe

[@thedreamsoldierful]

@@benjaminpointdexter7280 bro you said before I could. Took the words out of my mouth

[@UmbrellaGent]

I need Court Of Owls in Batffleck solo movie.

[@FatihKayser]

GamerTofu Red Hood and Nightwing would be sooo awesome

[@SeanPTheGent]

it might make a small mention.. like an easter egg mention. just to show that batman universe isnt as small as Batman vs villain and thats it.

[@iamese2180]

thank you variant comics for always putting out good videos to watch and to learn different things about my favorite superheroes like the justice league , the avengers and everybody else in the DC and marvel universe

[@hcstubbs3290]

It'd be cool if they slowly lead up to it with hidden little nods that to the court of owls existing and then do court of owls in a later film.

[@tkma99]

The court of owls = illuminati

[@malachib100]

THE KNIGHT the court of owls confirmed

[@Lwiis64]

It is indeed Gotham City's Illiminati.

[@TheFLAMEXD]

The Knight Except the Court are an ACTUAL THREAT

[@13jonash]

It wouldn’t surprise me if they took inspiration from the Illuminati to create the Court.

[@ccoooocc9714]

more like the deep state

[@darryljack6612]

The scariest thing about the court is you dont know whooo they are 😊😊😊

[@dario2011]

Darryl Jack lmao

[@darryljack6612]

Thanx ik I'm a hoot

[@stonedcrusader]

Donald J. Tr*** is a member of the Court of Owls.

[@darryljack6612]

Thanks bru- i mean Matches

[@RichardGrayson14]

Well Nightwing just beat the entire parliament in his rebirth comic

[@markrezk9775]

"Beware the court of owls, that watches all the time, Ruling Gotham from a shadowed perch, behind granite and lime. They watch you at your hearth, they watch you in your bed. Speak not a whispered word about them, or they'll send a talon for your head."

[@noochers6559]

Is that from a the comic or made up

[@markrezk9775]

Black Racer it's from the comic

[@noochers6559]

Mark Rezk cool it's super scary

[@markrezk9775]

Black Racer and that's why it is so amazing

[@CHEESEPUFF_7]

I wrote it in my book

[@CarlosRodriguez-dh7mm]

I want the Court of Owls to be loosely adapted into Ben Affleck's sequel to The Batman. So not the next one, but the one after. I think it lends itself perfectly to an older, more experienced Batman, and the Court and Talon would be beautiful on screen, but also, we get to see Batman's lifelong commitment to detective investigation (something that lacked in Nolan's universe).

[@joaquinarchivaldoguzmanloe1073]

Carlos Rodriguez naw

[@harrambou9468]

One of the few things that lacked in Nolan’s series.

[@chawza8402]

@@harrambou9468 nope, it's already perfect as it is

[@harrambou9468]

Chawza Dark Oh yea of course

[@RICARDOZXD1]

F

[@sebastianfitzptraick7395]

Affleck would do a great job with a Court of Owls film

[@admissful8180]

Sebastian Fitzpatrick affleck should just stay away from batman

[@nononono4988]

+PandaBroFilms affleck was the perfect batman

[@radio9392]

Affleck is the best on-screen Batman we have EVER had.

[@OnePullUpKing]

I'm not a fan, I hate Ben Affleck and the fact that he is one of my most hated actors playing my favorite superhero really makes my blood boil.

[@admissful8180]

RadioYeh how was he a perfect batman?

[@darkservantofheaven]

hahah!! that damn owl with the tootsie pop!

[@EagleZtoTheGrave]

been playing kids for years lol

[@josephlowry4320]

LOL me too with the "Thug Life" thing after licking the Tootsie Pop the third time.

[@geekcultureandmovieLover]

i would love to see a live action court of owls movie

[@PsyQoJkays]

mounir maged go watch Gotham. It's not live action but it's fairly close

[@thegamingprozone1941]

We're gonna get a game instead!

[@PsicoPrime]

If you want feathery masks and a talon that look like kato from green hornet, yes

[@toxification]

@@PsyQoJkays The entire series is LITERALLY live action. Tf u on about?

[@PsyQoJkays]

Metritox Well I was referring to theatre live action. It’s real people but love action to me is re-enacted in a theatre like auditorium hints the word LIVE.

[@Digedon]

They should do a Batfleck trilogy with the Court in it

[@bronan4775]

Court of Owls, Death of the Family and Endgame

[@Ishaankaushal1]

this

[@IHADTHECAKE]

Tuba_G no thank you, batfleck is worse than Clooney

[@IHADTHECAKE]

He's a good playboy yes, but as a convincing batsman after BvS I was not convinced he's a good batman! after suicide squad I'm not sure where this whole franchise is headed or if they can make a clear direction instead of pumping it full of backstory and action in one movie. DC has failed time and time again in the middle in the movie universe because they don't know how to develop characters before putting a super group together. I'd rather see Christian bale reprise batman for justice league.

[@Digedon]

Will people please stop saying that and just accept that Bale is done with Batman? And what do you mean, he's worse than Clooney? I still don't see your logic

[@GetSchanked]

Supposedly the next Batman game is going to be centered around The Court of Owls. So stoked for that!

[@ihaveasmallweinerbut9567]

GetSchanked that teaser has me hyped!

[@ezraelreynolds3442]

Yep

[@ix-xerlon-ix3472]

Your right

[@toxification]

It is. I'm hyped!

[@davidc4946]

It’s about to release that’s why I’m here making my choice

[@TheDrcool104]

0:53 made me die out laughing.

[@821lancevance]

that was cringe worthy as fuck

[@radio9392]

Yeah, I don't need super old memes and jokes on my Comic Book channel.

[@ArvindS-mv4ef]

I like how there's no transition after that part, just straight to the video

[@BrainDamageAG]

TheDrcool104 name of the song please ?

[@sheldonfirkle8441]

What was that song or that beat from 0:50? I swear to God, I forgot & now it's driving me nuts! Does anyone know it?

[@stormsrallied1195]

Who else is here from Gotham knights?

[@amirrobinson2731]

They should've used the court as the storyline for arkham knight. With scarecrow and the court of owls along with everyone else it would've been genius and sorry to say but talon is a much more intriguing foe than jason todd/redhood/arkham knight

[@liverusrock6789]

That'd have been amazing!!

[@darkstardarin]

Would've preferred that but also have a side mission that's basically Under The Red Hood minus the Joker.

[@LaRawrXD]

*So does OwlMan have to deal with Court of Bats?*

[@Eagle09ize]

Probably in Earth 3.

[@UlyssesPSC]

The cool thing about this is that, one, there is a former Talon who became part of the Bat-Family, and two, Nightwing's supposed grandfather is a Talon

[@brandond9368]

After watching The Batman movie, I would love to see the Court of Owls as the main antagonist of the trilogy

[@henfren2844]

It's highly suspected that court of owls and hush will be the villans of the next batman movie, Patterson even thinks so

[@mateogonzalez5678]

OH my Gosh, when you read the Court of Owls nursery rhyme the sky got dark, and when it ended it turned light again!😐 Perfect freaking timing!😆

[@GregJoseph1978]

What I love about The Court of Owls is that they could actually exist in real life. That to me is what makes them terrifying.

[@robtaylor1435]

Illuminati

[@rodrigomelo4598]

Loving the new effects you guys are mixing in the video !

[@KuronoXD]

I have always wondered if Owlman from Earth 3 was somehow connected to the Court of Owls, or if he had to fight against the goody two shoes from the Court of Bats.

[@Intr0vertical]

History of Talon?

[@tylercaffie7152]

May you please do more episodes on the court of owls! I would love to hear more about his long lost brother for sure.

[@mechajay3358]

0:40 That's why I have never had Tootise Pop....

[@chimney9892]

one of the funniest videos yet and i love the court of owls great job Arris

[@ThePolski15]

I love the Court of Owls from the first time I ever read their stories Arc. In fact I have a Talon tattooed on my right arm and the Court's emblem on the right shoulder. Plus the Owl is my Dagorhir emblem for my unit; I'm the Herald for said until and Realm

[@BurritoTFB]

Well, you can tell we are on October now.. Awesome video Arris,keep up the amazing work!

[@jonathanwalker4937]

I just finished reading that story arc last week it lives up to the hype Arris you did not steer me wrong now I working on Death of the family.

[@dariusfry23]

First time commenter here. Love every episode I've watched so far! Would love to get an episode on White Tiger! She (and he) is a very overlooked character. Keep up the great work!

[@vicenzostella1390]

It took me learning about Bohemian Grove to see the connection between it and the Court of Owls. There’s no way it wasn’t inspired by it. And the Harley Quinn version connects the dots even more.

[@RightHereAndNowDLife]

Ben Affleck should use them for the new Batman films as a long standing threat over the city of Gotham and him but have other villains be independent from them so it doesn't become another Nolan DK Rises. So having two or three narrative while the Court stays in the shadows manipulating events like maybe the death of Jason Todd.

[@jonathanwalker4937]

Hi Arris I just found your replies to my comments this morning and justed wanted to say thanks. Its awesome what you do. thanks for making comics even more awesome.

[@GeekDevotions]

Hey man! Great Episode as always! We were working on our newest episode which deals with the Court of Owls when i saw that you had done this, so instead of me rehashing everything i went ahead and sent people your way, because... You guys are awesome lol

[@jokar9129]

It's going to be interesting how they're handled in Gotham knights

[@flying_rat]

Loved this episode Aris, with the little edits in the nursery rhyme and showing that Tootsie Pop meme. Great learning more about one of my favorite villains. I didn't even know that they were international. Do you recommend reading Robin War?

[@koolteenjake34]

Thanks for the video

[@Slayerthecrow]

Great episode, this is one of the few things I liked about the new 52

[@Hammo24100]

Great vid man!

[@ROCKY-bx1rq]

Thanks for this video

[@TheBoxBox920]

Whos here after finding out The Court of Owls will be in the new Batman.

[@082138able]

Pattinson's batman? Really?

[@TheBoxBox920]

Latif Mufti Muchammad yup

[@SuperiorShock4]

Box I thought it was going to be in the game

[@Denbistromaster]

Markeece Mobley too

[@onionnyamous5453]

Isnt it just a theory from the card?

[@janoycresva276]

Bane's my favorite, I love the court of owls in gotham

[@the1entirecircus938]

I wonder if on earth three, there’s a secret organization called, the court of bats, or the order of bats and their talon is Robin

[@bethbayless5652]

It takes 252 licks. to get to the center of a tootsie pop

[@jalenmanhertz4933]

why the tootsie pop owl.

[@jalenmanhertz4933]

This is fantastic meeting you.😃😃😃

[@cadokkc8402]

Jalen Manhertz The dynamic of this conversation is fascinating

[@YaboiiEL215]

The nursery rhyme part hahaha. Creepiness achieved Arris, great job :D

[@Leulwold]

So thats why bruce faked his death...

[@lyonamana2168]

wait im still confused why he would fake his death

[@j0habba]

I have been waiting for this

[@jehbon]

To me, one of the best things about the owls is how simple. It fun they are to cosplay

[@blakhope]

sounds like an amazing premise for a stand alone series or movie

[@jordanbrierley1265]

Awesome vid Arris

[@deciduous_reaper]

Funny that I dressed up as a member of the Court of Owls in Halloween party like 2 years ago

[@pyrex3998]

[@MrMula11]

Came back in 2022 for this info

[@elcuki630]

More!!! I need more!!!!

thanks. great to be talking to you

[@reichreiner9481]

this would make a good movie

[@nafizsajid7646]

Wow! I just finished reading the Court of Owls storyline

[@QuintMarvel]

I wish they would do a story of the Golden Age Green Lantern, Alan Scott, encountering the Court of Owls, since he was also headquartered in Gotham.

[@kwstassatswk3659]

but im sure you'' be fine at the end xD omg I love you dude

[@_zaldivar2590]

History of the Midnight Sons would be cool, too, for Halloween and all.

[@badger1820]

Hey variant I was watching the again and again I got to these (ep 14 season 1 one about 36:45) when fire storm is leaving staine say -Godspeed, Mr . Allen. -You too

[@comicalvariety7315]

Nite Owl vs the Court of Owls would be a interesting comic👏🏼but it would most likely never happen.

[@scorpioninpink]

This is what I really want to see in movies. The Court of Owls is very intriguing to me.

[@blowshitup114]

I would really like to see another episode about the Court Of Owls once a little more is known about them.

[@mikejax4402]

Dope, next history of the league of assassins!

[@seanviray9653]

The Illuminati in DCEU

[@jakewalsh3724]

I read this story coming out. It was awesome I continued the whole new 52 batman.

[@adamaksoy4169]

great video!

[@VashXTrigun]

@2:50 Funny thing is that the collective term for a group of owls is usually already referred to as a parliament.

[@seanhackett8305]

I was actually a member of the Court for Halloween last year. My comic friends thought it was awesome.

[@Drayco500]

I love the court of owls one of my favorite story lines

[@chatroomgoon4975]

I love that Joker Variant intro

Nice review, Arris! By the way, can you do a review of origin of Slapstick? I know he's not that popular in Marvel Universe, but I think he's an interesting character. Reminds me of The Mask. Thank you and I love your channel!

Do an episode about the Talon spin-off character and comic.

[@bennyagoss]

Well I know the history of Darth Vader but I want you to do it because you are AWSOME

[@INSTINCT-69]

please give us origin and power of Black bolt

[@mangonectar8117]

Black Bolt (Blackagar Boltagon) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics. Created by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, the character first appears in Fantastic Four #45 (December 1965). Black Bolt is the ruler of the Inhumans, a reclusive race of genetically altered superhumans. Black Bolt's signature power is his voice, as his electron-harnessing ability is linked to the speech center of his brain. Speaking triggers a massive disturbance in the form of a highly destructive shockwave capable of leveling a city. Due to the extreme danger posed by this power, the character has undergone rigorous mental training to prevent himself from uttering a sound, even in sleep, and he usually remains completely silent and speaks through sign language or via spokesperson. is that enough ?

[@darkservantofheaven]

i was hal expecting something to take him out at the end of the video

[@tanishkkadam493]

thanks .great to be talking to tou

[@duogeeks6311]
