With a global metahuman crisis at hand, the DC Universe is being reshaped. One major threat stems from Task Force VII, which has led heroes to unconventional shelters. The story focuses on Nightwing, and his shocking new headquarters: A terrifying and forgotten Court of Owls Lair.
With options quickly shrinking thanks to Amanda Waller and her unstoppable Task Force VII, Nightwing had little choice but to shelter in the Court of Owls lair, a site closely linked to his troubled past. This move has shaken him and his Nightwing allies!
In DC Comics, The Court of Owls is a sinister group with ties to Gotham City and Batman's history. Their legacy even links back to Nightwing superhero origin, and is filled with Nightwing past trauma. As Nightwing, Dick Grayson must always keep in mind this threat, and their influence in Nightwing DC Universe. The group has an army known as Nightwing Talons, each one a fearsome and loyal killer.
Dick Grayson has been forever changed by his experience with this powerful secret society, once serving as the intended replacement for William Cobb, one of the first Nightwing Talons. With a Nightwing new base hidden in the Court's eerie grounds, Dick is confronting a painful part of his past. This situation reminds us why he's so feared as Nightwing greatest leader in the DC Universe.
The current Nightwing goal is to counter Amanda Waller plans for a worldwide eradication of DC Universe metahuman, a move which has taken out some of the world's most well-known heroes. While Nightwing and Robin Tim Drake (former Nightwing Robin) try to mount a resistance, Task Force VII and the menacing villain Failsafe remain a real threat, which has led to this unconventional refuge.
In the wake of Amanda Waller's brutal onslaught, Nightwing and his allies need a base from which to launch their response. Absolute Power: Task Force VII #4 shows how Nightwing's encounter with his dark past will possibly push him and his team to regroup. It will also create an incredible and tense fight!
