SDCC 2012: Anthony Bourdain Joins Gotham City’s Secret Society – Court of Owls
Real life versions of the Court of Owls masks were given away by DC Comics at the San Diego Comic Con International. To lucky participants who joined the DC Comics panel discussion. If you are one the less fortunate like me who did not go you can find these masks already being sold through eBay. If you don’t know about Gotham City’s secret society let me brief you a bit. The Court of Owls an ancient conspiracy that has controlled Gotham City for centuries. They are a violent cabal who use architecture and murder to wield political influence throughout history. They employ a breed of highly trained assassins known as Talons. The leaders of the organization appear to be human and wear owl masks on their faces. The rest of the court, on the other hand, are mutated and appear to actually be human/owl hybrids. Their owl-like distorted faces, long claws, and their eating style prove this. The Court of Owls notices billionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne announces plans to rebuild and reshape Gotham City for the future. And plan to kill him. This would make another really great dark movie I would definitely go see! Check out the picture of Anthony Bourdian sporting his mask below.
