Tynion soon began writing Talon, a series that spun out of the hugely popular "Batman: The Court of Owls" story line. He has also written Batman, Detective Comics, Constantine: The Hellblazer, and Justice League Dark, and currently is at the helm of horror hits Nice House on the Lake, Something is Killing the Children, and The Department of Truth.
