Summary
Owlman controls everything in Gotham, from the gutters to city hall. By his side is his loyal Talon, a creature that is fearfully whispered about, an inhuman, immortal killer.
In truth, Talon is human, or, more accurately, five different humans using the same identity. Bruce’s expectations are demanding, but failing to meet them means death. Talons are taught unquestioning obedience to Bruce, selfless service to Gotham, and deep loyalty to family.
Talon is human, and each of them have their own cracks in their ruthless commitment to Owlman’s cause. Slowly, between those cracks, small, delicate things try to grow.Series
