Vreeland Manor is the home of the Vreeland family in Gotham City. During one of Vernonica Vreeland's parties, Mayor Hill slipped away and stole the Talon manual from General Vreeland's Court of Owls collection. After the murder of Mayor Hill, Batman took an impression of claw marks at his penthouse and compared them to claws in the Court of Owls collection at Vreeland Manor. Veronica Vreeland happened to pass by while she was leaving a voice mail for Bruce Wayne. General Vreeland entered with his gun drawn. She got him to stand down. The general was surprised Batman believed in the Court like him and relayed what he knew, including an encounter his own father had with a Talon, the assassins of the Court. Batman managed to leave without either noticing. Luckily, Deadman had been tailing Batman and noticed a Talon waiting outside in the brush. To Deadman's surprise, the Talon could see him and resisted possession. The Talon went into the manor and attacked General Vreeland.
Wayne returned Vreeland's call and overheard the fight. With no other choice, Deadman possessed her and grabbed a sword. The Talon was unimpressed and knew she wouldn't last long against him. Batman returned and threw several Batarangs into his arm and side. Batman ordered Vreeland to get to safety, unaware she was possessed. The Talon reveled in meeting Batman and taunted he was never worth the bother to eliminate until now for crossing him. Batman hit him with a chair then fired a bola at him. Talon quickly broke free. Deadman tried again to possess him but Talon told him to stay away and struck his chest. Batman was confused. Talon promised their fight would continue at a later time when the odds favored the Owls. To cover his escape, Talon knocked an unconscious Vreeland into the swimming pool. Talon fled with a paraglider but Deadman tried one last time to possess him. Talon dissipated him painfully. Batman pulled Vreeland to the surface. She ran back in the house to find her father. Batman tapped his comm and told Commissioner Gordon to send an ambulance.
