If you\u2019ve been reading Absolute Batman<\/a>, you know the Court of Owls have been lurking in the background. Like their DC Universe counterparts, the Absolute version of the Court of Owls appear to have more power over the city than they\u2019re letting on, as well as their fair share of secrets. Plus, there\u2019s their mysterious connection to Batman\u2019s mother, Martha Wayne.<\/p>\n

You probably have a lot of questions, and Absolute Batman writer Scott Snyder says we\u2019ll be getting answers soon.<\/p>\n

\u201cMartha comes back in the next couple of issues in a really big way, and she\u2019ll explain the Court of Owls and what happened with them,\u201d Scott Snyder says during an appearance on AIPT Comics Podcast<\/a>. \u201cThey have their own history with Scarecrow. And a lot of what she went through that broke them apart was what Bruce is going through. When people convince you, when they isolate you, and they weaponize your own anger, sadness, and isolation, it\u2019s so easy to fall into in this kind of world we live in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Snyder co-created the Court of Owls during his 2011 Batman run<\/a>, and he\u2019s looking for ways to reinvent the mysterious organization for the Absolute Universe. The writer promises that the Court will play a big role in the title going forward.<\/p>\n

\u201cVery, very important. I don\u2019t want to spoil things, but they\u2019re important. Essentially, Martha had a bad experience with them, where they are not willing to help because of what happened in the past. But their resurgence is a big part of the story coming forward, and who helps make them come back and be a part of the story is a surprise.\u201d<\/p>\n
