Duela Doe: It's the symbol of the Court of Owls. They're the ones who really run this city. No one knows who they are, and you don't dare ask, because if you find out... it'll be the last thing you ever see.

Harper Row: How do you know all this?

Duela Doe: Because while you were being read bedtime stories, I was listening to the warnings that echo through the halls of Arkham.

Beware of the Court of Owls

that watches all the time,

ruling Gotham from a shadowed perch

behind granite and lime.

They watch you at your hearth.

They watch you in your bed.

Speak not a whispered word of them...

Or they'll send the Talon for your head.
