History

Creative Concept

Bruce Wayne as The Owl
Bruce Wayne as The Owl

The Owl debuted in a back-up short story in Batman #256, where Bruce Wayne wasn’t inspired by a bat to became a crime fighter, but by an owl. Grant Morrison used this concept for the Batman analogue of earth 35 and member of the Super-Americans.

The Owl is also an analogue to Awesome ComicsProfessor Night.
