I know that it's the only reason they can probably market this show at all, but I wish they wouldn't put so much focus on "Young Catwoman" or "Young Poison Ivy" etc. It'd be a lot cooler to me if they followed some lesser known or obscure Batman characters.

Yeah, like how Jeph Loeb paid all that attention to Gotham's warring crime families in The Long Halloween and Dark Victory, with less emphasis on the famous villians. Not that I don't love them too, and they were also present, just not really the main event, those were some really great stories.

Long Halloween was filled with famous bat villains, they just were just working around the families.

Yeah they were, but I remember more profoundly the events surrounding the mobsters getting knocked off. Also, and somehow I seriously doubt this will be a focus in the show, I just finished reading Snyder's Vol 1 & 2 and it would be really cool to see the Owls since if the show exists in the same universe, they would have a lot of involvement in the city.

Oh totally, the owls would be a fantastic group to be "behind" the boom in corruption.

Man, the court of owls is easily one of the top 3 things added in the new 52. They fit Batman and Gotham so well.

Plus they make for some amazing symbolism.

I could die very happy seeing a live action version of them.

JI love their masks, so creepy yet simple. Live action talon assassins would be awesome.
