| 1 | * ParanoiaFuel: The nursery rhyme about the Court of Owls explains that the organization keeps watch of the Gothamites at all times and sends assassins to murder those whom they perceive as a threat to their interests. And the idea that a group knows more about Gotham than even Batman is quite a chilling idea. Even Batman is shaken by the thought. |
| 2 | * TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Where he's normally a tragic character who genuinely wants to save his wife, this series depicted Mr. Freeze as a delusional psychopath who'd never even met the woman he was obsessed with (Nora having gone into cryostaisis before he was even born). DC Rebirth would undo this and return him to his prior characterisation. |
| 3 | * TheWoobie: A surprising number of Talons are revealed to be this, when they're not zealously fanatical zombie assassins. |
| 4 | ** Mary Turner lost her face and her entire family in a bomb attack while they were on a picnic. Even the Owl who recruited her felt bad for the girl, and when fighting Batgirl she ultimately spares the vigilante because she too has a mask to hide behind. |
| 5 | ** Xiao Loong, a Chinese acrobat who's so tired of being a LivingWeapon he asks Red Hood for a MercyKill, and the Hood ultimately complies in spite of his offer to help the Talon to rebuild his life. |
| 6 | ** Ephraim Newhouse was retired in disgrace, deprived of his armor and weapons to let everyone know of his shame. When Catwoman tells him she can help him to find his knifes, he's so desperate for redemption he's about to accept her offer...[[ShootTheShaggyDogStory Then Penguin shoots him in the head]]. |
| 7 | ** Alton Carver was almost burned alive because his ringmaster felt he was too much of a coward. When he finds himself fighting Batman, fear consumes the poor guy again. |
