Still, Owlman could find use in Gotham Knights’ storyline and conflict. Owlman is a significant threat and standard member of the Crime Syndicate from a parallel Earth. However, the alter ego is most commonly occupied by Thomas Wayne Jr. The character of Owlman enjoys a somewhat complicated legacy in the Batman mythos. Though Lincoln enjoys several different ranks within the Court of Owls, his most frequent persona is Owlman. Not only does he control a multimillion-dollar company and represents an elite member of Gotham society, but he also serves as one of their assassins and agents. Lincoln March’s activities with the Court of Owls encompass several roles vital to Gotham’s influence. Gotham Knights: Bruce Wayne’s Brother Could Be Owlman Whether Gotham Knights will utilize Lincoln as a villain is unknown, but a former Court of Owls agent as an ally could be an exciting turn of events.

Despite his supposed loyalty, Lincoln March has betrayed the Court of Owls several times and frequently suffered at their hands in various storylines. Lincoln enjoys several superpowers, including regenerative properties that could function well as a Gotham Knights boss fight. The comics reveal that Lincoln can hold his own against Batman as Talon and was only defeated by the explosion of the building they were fighting in. While many details of Lincoln/Thomas’ early life are unknown in the mainstream continuity, he likely served as a Talon before ascending to his current position as Owlman. While Lincoln March provides a valuable tool of influence and capital for the Court during the daytime, he also acts as a formidable agent against Batman and his Batfamily. Including Lincoln March could introduce a dangerous threat to Gotham’s new protectors in the form of formidable Talon assassins and Owlman. Gotham Knights could show the Court of Owls’ reach across Gotham City without delivering it through exposition by including both March Ventures and Lincoln March. Lincoln's position as the COO of March Ventures secured him a place in the upper class of Gotham, where he could have less restricted access to Bruce Wayne and influential social circles. Though Lincoln March first appeared to be an ally for Bruce Wayne, he later revealed himself as a member of the Court of Owls and Bruce Wayne's little brother. Lincoln March and the Court of Owls storyline were introduced in DC Comics thanks to the New 52 and continued prevalence after. However, Thomas and Martha may have conceived another child: Thomas Wayne Jr. The generation preceding the vigilante era has never seen much change between different continuities, usually including the deceased Thomas and Martha Wayne and their living heir, Bruce Wayne. Gotham Knights features four playable characters from the Batfamily, including adopted sons Dick Grayson, Jason Todd, and Tim Drake.

Their extensive reach crafted some particularly dark storylines within the Batman comics, including a universe where they had successfully kidnapped Thomas and Martha Wayne’s second child: Thomas Wayne Jr. Unlike most criminals, the Owls enjoy the wealth and influence to accomplish most of their schemes in the daylight (and mostly legally). Consisting of some of Gotham’s wealthiest (and most depraved) individuals, the Court seeks to control Gotham from the shadows and return it to its glory days. Gotham Knights features several Batman villains, but its primary antagonist is the Court of Owls secret society. The Court of Owls always represented an uncontrollable X factor within Gotham’s wealthiest population, and its relationship with the Wayne family has been quite complicated throughout the generations. Batman comics have retconned many aspects of Batman’s past, including long-lost family ties. Gotham Knights’ inclusion of the Court of Owls suggests that Batgirl, Nightwing, Red Hood, and Robin could face Bruce Wayne’s long-lost brother, Thomas Wayne Jr (aka Lincoln March).
