Okay and with all my yapping about Bruce, here is the man himself!!! (Ft the Court of Owls because I love them so much and they have so much potential dc pleaseeee) ...also ignore the wonky skyline, this piece is, like, a year old and I had too much audacity to think I knew how Windows worked 🫣🫣
Bruce spends a while watching the Talon from a distance , surveilling it. It doesn't seem.. as hostile as the ones he's met in the past, the ones that always wanted– and still do want, for him to join them.
Has it noticed him? Maybe. He's found over the years that Talons are ruthless, with a strong, instant regenerative ability. Killers for the Court, or their masters, better known as mouthpieces for whatever it wills or wants to do to Gotham.
His brow furrows beneath the cowl. Bruce still doesn't know their real recruitment tactics. How they train people– so incredibly well, and take them, convince them to do anything they say.
Brainwashing is an obvious idea. He doesn't yet know enough to decide.
He fires his grapple and swings, soundlessly, to a high platform next to the Talon. He stands, and stares, assessing it.
"You work for the Court of Owls?" He frames it more like a statement than a question, curious to the Talon's reaction.
@the-realcaped-crusader
Talon has a mission, it's supposed to be killing a man for its current Owl, having been hired to do a few different hits for the woman as well as guarding her son for an event in a few days. Talon's not sure why it must kill, but it knows its targets and that's all it needs to know. It's surveying a man in the apartment nearby, he's simply cooking at the counter, alone. Talon watches from the roof, barely moving.
That's when it notices someone's watching it as well. Talon only peaks from the corner of its eye, not wanting to alert its surveyor that it's aware of the fact they're here. Talon is crouched against a ledge, almost animalistic in a way with its claws dug into the concrete.
When the stalker lands by it, Talon immediately moves to slash at them with its claws before pausing and simply staring at the man. It knows him. Itknowshimitknowshimitknowshim- Bat. That's the only word that comes to mind really, but it recognizes him and his words make it back away, still crouched and in a ready stance, reaching for the knives strapped to its body.
It tilts its head to the side at the question before simply nodding once in response, unsure why the man is questioning it. But he's familiar, in a way that makes Talon's head hurt.
Im struggling to decide what to wear for comic con this year so here are all my options:
who?
skull kid
talon/court of owls
discowing
robin
nightwing
red robin (cowl)
impulse
spoiler
batman
red hood
pill helmet red hood
On more thought im thinking it may be either: talon/court of owls, discowing, red robin and red hood
What Could've Been 🦉
I just love the concept of Dick as a talon so much and this was a great way to try out Clip Studio Paint while I still have the free trial for it
Rewatch of Batman vs Robin leads to this
So I have a habit of rewatching Batman vs Robin on Youtube and keep getting the same concept for a reader so I am finally going to share it because I hate just having it stuck there.
A reader who was supposed to become a talon but maybe one of the court of owls had a brief change of heart or had a random thought of "What if that was my child" and it's a punch in the stomach to them (Especially if they have the same hair color)
So the court of owls member decides to take the reader and just put them in an alley.
Skip a few years where reader only knows the streets of Gotham and how bad it is.
One night they see batman stumbling to the batmobile and help him and that's basically how Reader gets taken by Bruce and this is right after Bruce took Dick in.
Skip to where Damian is with batman and they meet the Talon from the Batman vs Robin Movie.
And instead of Talon trying to recruit Damian he tries to recruit Reader but unlike Damian in the movie Reader informs Bruce of everything and so Bruce and Reader come up with a plan that basicly can be explained as Reader gaining Talon's trust enough to where Reader is taken to the court.
But Reader wasn't expecting for Talon to betray the court of owls.
And after everything Reader keeps Talon's (What I believe is) pocket watch
and when Bruce can no longer be Batman a few years or so later Reader takes his place but still has the watch with them in their utility belt.
