Batman: The Adventures Continue Season II

Batman takes on the Court of Owls in ‘Batman: The Adventures Continue Season II’

The world of Batman: The Animated Series will finally get its first taste of one of the most infamous and iconic group of villains introduced in the comic books within the past decade — the overarching secret society, the Court of Owls (created by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo). Batman: TAS mainstays Alan Burnett and Paul Dini, the creators of the ’90s animated series (alongside Ty Templeton and Monica Kubina) will return to helm Batman: The Adventures Continue Season II, which will pick up after the events of last season and introduce new villains (such as the aforementioned Court of Owls), as well as new heroes to aid the Dark Knight and the Bat-Family along the way (like the macabre Deadman).

The preview pages for Batman: The Adventures Continue Season II depict Batman and Commissioner Gordon investigating a set of mysterious claw marks (which are very likely linked to the death of Mayor Hill), as Deadman looks on in fear. From a nearby rooftop, a Talon, a member of the Court of Owl’s elite assassin corps, looks on and dives into the night, presumably to confront Batman when he unearths too much information. Also seen in the preview pages is Veronica “Ronnie” Vreeland, a wealthy woman who’s part of the Gotham City elite and daughter to a high ranking army member who will no doubt have some sort of affiliation to the Court of Owls.
