No, I do agree that the Court could have done with way more build up than it has gotten. To be honest, I would've preferred Snyder say, establish the status quo of the Joker in the DCnU through a long-format story with lots of bits and pieces that establish the reach of the Court as the story proceeds.

But as others have pointed out, continuity is just another problem here. We ask how the Court fits in with RIP and Doctor Hurt. We ask how it fits in with NML. DC really should have just simplified things down, because as it is, it's just really, really bizarre. I'm enjoying the Court's story more than some, but even I admit that their presence is just.. Underexplained, especially when it's Gotham and there is basically a whole pantheon of freaks and mobsters who arguably should have earned the Court's wrath.

So again, continuity should've been wiped. If they had wanted to include all four male Robins - put out a miniseries explaining the new status quo and history of Batman. The problem here is that we have no clue how everything fits together. And we like puzzles, so naturally, we're trying to solve how things fit. And it just doesn't work. An entirely fresh approach wouldn't have that problem.
