2) Adapt Scott Snyder’s Court Of Owls
Scott Snyder’s New 52 Batman was something special thanks to a refreshing (but still recognizable) interpretation of the iconic character. Part of the successful run came from his strong first installment in Batman: The Court of Owls. Following a series of brutal murders, Bruce Wayne finds out the existence of a secret society called the Court of Owls. This group, at its foundation, runs the entirety of Gotham through their network of resources and assassins.
The mix of mind games, physical tests, and intrigue presented within this storyline would be a brutal treat. The challenge and threat of the Court is more than enough to contest (and even maybe overwhelm) Batman, and their influence keeps on growing across Gotham.
Audiences have seen what years of wear and tear have done to Bruce Wayne’s demeanor, but witnessing the mental torture and debilitation brought on by these mystery opponents could illustrate what 20 years of crime-fighting and beatdowns can do to one’s mental fortitude.
