The Court of Owls stuff with Dick was cool! The Court had used the Circus as a breeding ground for malcontents and stragglers to turn into Owl assassin's-and the first one Bruce caught was Dick's great grandfather!
Ahhh, yeah, I didn't get that far into it for that to be revealed. Had to read about that in ... Batman ... I guess ... but don't remember it being in the Court of Owls story-line, so maybe before the Death of the Family story-line?
