About to start Batman:The Court Of Owls Saga, this should be excellent. I mix up my reading between comics and novels. Nothing wrong with a little light reading right? I’m such a comic book nerd.

My third design for Dick Grayson in this AU and the final one that I think I'm fully content with, as you can see, he is no longer Nightwing in this universe, but rather... A Talon for the Court of Owls. Their best Talon, the Gray Son of Gotham. His main design inspirations were of the character: Bat, from Kamen Rider: The First, and Demi-Fiend from SMT III: Nocturne. I based it off of the original Talon design I made with some adjustments to make this one feel unique and special in his own right, his mask is more of a helmet, he has a full-on cape that's reminiscent of Owl Man, and has the same owl medals and buckles adoring the Talons of the Court. Originally they were going to be gold, but this blueish silver fit the bill much more. It also makes him stand out, as he should. I am currently working on a Milanote project that will combine everything about this Batman universe, including the lore of all the characters, so when that is done I will post it here, but this is a sparknote version: this Dick Grayson was still a member of The Flying Graysons and Haley's Circus was still in league with the Court of Owls, when Dick's parents died, he was abducted by the Court and turned into their best enforcer Talon, and for added measures, he and Bruce had their parents killed on the same day, at the same time. Grey Owl would mainly appear during the Court of Owls arc of the AU, which would be the final arc, to which Batman would free Grayson of his mental prison and would ally with the owl to take down the Court of Owls...
Tim has no differences in the design... I've grown to fall in love with this design, I might even make a cosplay of it in the future!
Spoiler was really fun to reinvent and redesign! This design goes into her lore but to kick things off, her main inspirations were Gotham 1919 - 1939's Spoiler, as well as Lucia from Devil May Cry 2. Her costume this time around has the homemade vibe like Stephanie literally grabbed whatever she could out of her closet and made the best hero get-up she could. A little bit of Gerard Way's Riddler design from Batman: Kingdom of the Mad is also here with the use of an exclamation mark on her mask, for no real reason other than me thinking it looked cute on her, and it's something Steph would probably do! As for the lore, everything will be explained properly in the Milanote, but for now just know that Stephanie Brown in this AU is now a puppet, like a mannequin puppet but she would not realize this until later on during the Cluemaster arc, or maybe the Designer arc, I'm still working out the kinks. She would have this whole identity crisis on whether she's truly human, who she really is, all that jazz in between but she would come into her own soon enough!

Joe Chill, in my opinion, will reflect how your Batman AU will be, you can design Chill off of many ways but the main two that prevail are either he was a desperate crook who was scared, or the merciless monster who killed for the money, and for the hell of it. As you can see, I went with the latter. Chill was heavily inspired by Judge Holden from The Blood Meridian, in both the face and the outfit, while also being the garments worn by lower-class citizens or street urchins in Victorian settings. He's a petty crook but above all else, this is the monster that Bruce Wayne fears the most, which is also why I obscured his eyes from looking normal human eyes, and more like a monster who is looking from under your bed. I do have this Batman find Chill, and he does go to confront him, and Chill has no remorse nor empathy for killing this kid's parents in front of him. Batman of course wouldn't kill Chill, but it would not be a pleasant encounter for either party, especially since Batman would have to conquer his fear of the man who took everything from him.
In my time developing for this AU, the Court of Owls became more and more of a bigger presence, not just because I adore the Court, but also because I feel like for this gothic-horror inspired AU, I feel this Bat-Man should have his final adversary be the Court of Owls, with the overarching story of his world coming to see that these are the true demons of Gotham City. To get the Talon out of the way, I didn't want to go for the usual Talon design, as believe it or not, I do have my reserves about it, because while it's not as absurd as the League of Assassins are with their blatant 'Mall Ninja' vibe, the Talons still give off that stealthy ninja vibe, and I didn't want to really go for that. Instead, I made them look like armored knights, I made them look like soldiers, I made them look like the enforcers of the Court of Owls, but above all else I made the Talons feel like they fit this gothic, dark world... For the Judge themselves, I did some research and saw some inspiration from real life owls and some fan designs on Pinterest of owl warriors and sorcerers to get some pointers in the color scheme, originally I was going to give the Judge a very forest green color scheme, but I think this rogues gallery has a lot of green already, so I think this light, reddish-brown makes for a very regal, very cult-leader vibe, and that of course all tops off with the Judge's mask. The identity of the Judge on my end is still up in the air, but this is the ending villain of Timeless Batman, so it only makes sense to give one of our final villain spotlights to the Judge and his Talons. Beware the Court of Owls, that watches all the time.
Quincey Sharp is only really known from the Arkham series and I kind of wanted a corrupt mayor in Gotham that wasn't just Mayor Hill, and someone who can steal the spotlight after Hill is brushed out of office. Sharp's design is based on a character from Lies of P, but to be honest, I can't really remember at this moment in time, but to fit with the aesthetic, I did decide to give him that stereotypical 'Victorian Rich Guy' aesthetic that you see across a lot of media... And me and my friends joke around a lot that this is an evil Sir Topham Hatt from Thomas and Friends- He has his signature cane, signature pose, and the wrinkles on his face. Doesn't get more Sharp than that!
![The first major antagonist of Timeless Batman is Count Dracula himself, something that was in the works for a while now was what the endgame was going to be. Originally it was going to be Dracula, but this Batman had his corpse taken by Dracula and later would burn his castle down to escape, seemingly killing him when in reality, he merely weakened and reduced Dracula to the old mom in the wheelchair from Spongebob.
Why would Dracula wait at least 10-15+ years to enact his plan for Gotham and Batman? With this revelation in mind, I got to work on a possibility that, maybe Dracula is the one keeping things in check for now, being the Count, or the King of these [universal] monsters in Gotham, and Batman [freezing] him would only open the floodgates.
With this new idea in mind, Dracula would need a new design, something similar yet distinct from his original, Christopher Lee inspired design from before, which is why I basically made a more simpler version of his look from the Castlevania anime. With paler skin, longer hair, and a more young and athletic build, this Dracula is truly reborn and ready to vanquish the bat that dares take the name "Alucard" as one of his aliases. But this body is merely a tool, for the true desire is the body of Bruce Wayne, who was marked from birth as a being of great potential, of strength and diligence.
The endgame of at least the third or fourth year of Batman's career is whether Dracula will take Bruce's body and mind, or not.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:p6p2bt532veb6nstkjhkf5z4/bafkreibncj234igejzka5d4g5hotzbkpt3t45p4fnuvomfscpwe4qnwp74)

Scrolling stories to escape real life for a moment,and see a Court of Owls Image.
Then remembered how soap-operatic garbage (not in the good way) that story was.
Fantastic concept, amazing art, really cool set pieces, and a horrible "twist"-heavy plot.

So here is one of the major changes in the Timeless Universe... Ra's Al Ghul and the League of Assassins do not exist. Because I hate both of them, they have the exact same story arc every single time, and whenever they try to add characters like Lady Shiva or even Bane to their cause, it doesn't amplify their presence, but merely makes the plots more convoluted... So, with that in mind, originally I was going to have Ra's but he would be this world's equivalent to Dracula... But the more I got references for the design... I figured why not just have Dracula and be done with it? So, a much more interesting character is here with the Count! I based his design off the Bela Lugosi Dracula, as well as the great Sir Christopher Lee's take on the Count, and Drac's appearance from The Batman VS Dracula, one of the coolest Batman animated movies! So he is pretty simple in terms of designs compared to other Drac designs such as the Castlevania series. But I think that fits seeing how a lot of other villains in this Timeless barrage are pretty simple all things considered! As you see from the post, in this universe, Dracula would have been one of Bruce's teachers, disguised as Henri Ducard, where he would teach Bruce about being a great detective in order to become the greatest, but the lessons would be cut short due to Ducard's mansion being lit ablaze after Bruce used his skills to uncover the truth of Ducard actually being a vampire. Dracula would return to Gotham after stalking Bruce's activities and resettle in the abandoned Arkham Asylum, ruling from the shadows as his pawn gets everything ready for the great Dracula's return to full strength...
Professor Hugo Strange... Is straight up Giancarlo Esposito. Yes, I know, he's a very tight casted man in these calm yet scary villain roles... BUT IN MY DEFENSE... I was watching the Payday 2 Dentist trailer and was caught in the moment, okay!? So, a lot of Hugo's design is in-turn, inspired off of the Dentist from Payday 2, as well as Isaac a bit from the Netflix Castlevania anime, which is probably my favorite video game adaptation, ever. There's not a whole lot to say about Hugo since he is pretty much what you would expect: long white coat, surgical gloves, and of course that majestic, eeeevillll beard. I do think Giancarlo would be good to have as Hugo Strange rather than what others fan-cast him as, like him as Mr. Freeze...
Gray Owl is essentially the 'leader' of the armies of Talons for the Court of Owls, who in this universe, answer under Hugo Strange. Dracula does not approve seeing how owls are natural predators of Bats, but as long as they're useful. Gray Owl was inspired by Death from Puss in Boots: The Last Wish, same voice and he would also have a whistle similar to Death, but it would be more like the Talons' usual 'Hoot Hoot' from the comics! Overall, again another really simple design, I will draw some of the Talons themselves if I do big centerpieces to get better at scene composition, but for now, have their General!
Lock-Up is, again, pretty basic but I guess that's the theme of this batch of villains, yeah? Basically just taking his classic design as first-seen in Batman: The Animated Series, but adding some things, removing others, and sticking with what stuck! I took some design and color inspirations from Arkham Shadow's Lyle as well since I actually loved that they incorporated Lock-Up into the Arkham-Verse and made him just as vile as he was in the cartoon! That's also where I decided to give him the TYGER logo on his right shoulder pad, as I had the idea that Strange has an operative force of both militaristic, and mythological on each side of the viewpoint of Gotham! And of course, Lyle is the leader of TYGER due to his excessive violence and zero tolerance for criminals. Which also makes Arkham Asylum more of a living hell than it already was in the Timeless Universe after Dracula set up shop.

Batman #4 slows things down with needed backstory on the Court of Owls—less action, but rich world-building. Not as tense as earlier issues, but still strong. Capullo’s art keeps it eerie and sharp. 4 stars. #Batman #CourtOfOwls #comicsky
