abstract
  • "Night of the Owls" is a comic book crossover story arc set in the DC Universe. Primarily written by Scott Snyder, the arc is the first major crossover event in the The New 52, and was published across the Batman family of titles in mid-2012. The story pits the Batman and his allies against the Court of Owls organization as they attempt to cement their control over Gotham City, which they have been manipulating in secret for centuries. As described by Nightwing writer Kyle Higgins, the series is the follow up to Batman: Gates of Gotham and divulges more of the history of the city before the turn of the century. The crossover has been described by writer Scott Snyder as the first story arc of a Batman trilogy that he is planning. According to Snyder, in terms of internal chronology, the story arc takes place in a single night within his full Batman arc "The Court of Owls."
