Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo introduced the Court of Owls during their run on Batman, which started in 2011 as a part of DC's New 52 reboot. Penguin's narration in the latest Gotham Knights trailer is ominous, and refers to the Court of Owls' grip on Gotham City. The initial reveal trailer seemed to imply that Batgirl, Nightwing, Robin, and Red Hood would get to work immediately following Bruce's death, but memorials don't typically spring up overnight - at least not the kind seen in the latest trailer for the game. This could either mean that Gotham Knights will feature some sort of time jump during its story, or that it simply begins further away from Bruce's death than what may have been initially suspected. The latest trailer not only provides a glimpse of Gordon's memorial though, but also one for Bruce Wayne, which would imply that some time has passed since Batman's death and Gotham Knights' main story. The first trailer for Gotham Knights revealed that Commissioner Gordon had died an undetermined period of time before Bruce's own death, with the Code Black message referencing how the Bat Family had been on poor terms with the G.C.P.D. The latest trailer for Gotham Knights starts off with some shots of Gotham City, before cutting to memorials dedicated to Bruce Wayne and Jim Gordon. The trailer also shows off Montréal's new version of Penguin (no longer boasting the cockney accent from the Batman: Arkham series), who provides the creepy narration detailing the influence of the Court while being interrogated by Nightwing. Montréal had disclosed little in the way of new details in the months following Gotham Knights' announcement, bar revealing that the title would be delayed until 2022 this March. The new trailer is still somewhat light on information and wasn't accompanied by a full gameplay demo like the announcement, but it does provide a decent look at Gotham Knights' Court of Owls and includes a few slight nods in the comics' direction as well. Related: Heroes (Other Than Batman) Gotham Knights Should Include Said announcement also revealed that Jim Gordon had died, and that it would be up to Batgirl (Barbara Gordon), Nightwing (Dick Grayson), Robin (Tim Drake), and Red Hood (Jason Todd) to stop Gotham's villains - including Mister Freeze - from using the chaos to take control of the city. Gotham Knights is a departure from Batman: Arkham, with the title's premise revolving around the Bat Family protecting Gotham in the wake of the Dark Knight's death prior to the story.
