Batman #10: Who will it be?

[doordoor123]

Batman issue ten is supposed to have a big reveal about who is behind the Court of the Owls. Snyder has been talking a lot about it. What do you think? Who will be the big bad in the Court of Owls?
I know my guess is between three people; Vandal Savage, Hugo Strange, or Earth-3 Owlman (THATS RIGHT, NO MORE EARTH-3!) Its probably none of those and is instead someone who played a part in earlier Batman relaunch issues or a good guy turned bad.

[El Sombrero]

My guess: a Wayne family member. Perhaps one of Bruce's parents.

I know this won't happen, but I think would be GENIUS to make it Joker.

My guess: a Wayne family member. Perhaps one of Bruce's parents.

I´m starting to guess a new adition to the family.... While Capullo´s art is quite "meh" regarding faces... I find Lincoln March similar tu Bruce... and I think it might be an option that he´s alive after all... and it´s a Wayne... maybe Bruce´s brother / cousin / revived grandfather ?

I think if it is as big a reveal as Scott says it is, it needs to be a reveal that would shake up everything. Which means it probably isn't Dick's parents (could be Dick Grayson though) and I think Scott already revealed that it wasn't his parents or Alfred. Morrison pretty much already did that anyhow.
Maybe it was the heads of the city that the Talons were supposed to "kill"
Overall I think it wouldn't be a revelation without having met the character within the series. Who was in this series that it could possibly be since the relaunch?

Lincoln March is probably the best guess at this point.

[Chachi]

Martha Wayne...

[Sunbird]

Cassandra Cain and Stephanie Brown, bitter at being excluded.

Okay, seriously, I think it's a fragment of Bruce's mind. He's fighting... himself!

[TZDEKA]

Hm...still not sure. But the possibilities I've seriously considered would be Betsy Kane(Bruce's maternal grandmother/Martha Wayne's mother), Lincoln March, or another Wayne or Kane family member.

Condiment King, clearly. The signs are all there.

I think a lot of the clues point to the Pennyworth family. It doesn't have to be Alfred, per say, but I just think they are involved somehow.

I have been a big fan of this whole run, but if either of Bruce's parents are alive, or if their murders were at the hands of the court, I will be none too happy. Even if it's Alfred as the "leader", I'll be pretty disappointed. (I can handle his family being involved in some way, but not him directly. Plus, in the back up a Talon is clear after Jarvis, so I could be totally off base.) I honestly don't know what's going back, but I hope once the reveal happens, that a re-read will give some "Oh S**T" moments. Can't wait until tomorrow; I just started my 12 day vacation from work, and the first thing I'm doing is hitting up the LCS.

Nuh-uh. It was Bat-Cow. Obvious as.

I will not have you besmirch the Bat-Cow name!

It has to be someone linked to Gotham's past that leaves Cobblepot (they tried to kill him so no), Hush, Arkham, or Zsasz. I would put Sionis in there but the Owls hate gangs, and Harvey Dent is a no go because he is Daniel's for 'Tec.

[shark]

Bat-mite, obviously.
