![]() This is a clever and sophisticated Batman-with a dark, edgy, and thought-provoking narrative ably abetted by Capullo’s pulpish, detailed art. Batman must figure out whether the Court of Owls actually exists-something he claims to have fully investigated and discounted as a boy-and what connection the group might have to the history of the Wayne family, especially after a grisly murder brings with it a warning that “Bruce Wayne will die tomorrow.” The re-launch comes complete with villains old and new, and a cast of current and former Robins who aren’t afraid to stand up to the Bat. The initial story arc centers on the mysterious Court of Owls, a group of individuals who legend says control Gotham from the shadowy recesses of the city while using a deadly assassin named Talon to do their bidding. 1: The Court of Owls (The New 52) Paperback Illustrated, 26 March 2013 by Scott Snyder (Author), Greg Capullo (Illustrator) 3,453 ratings See all formats and editions Kindle and comiXology 0.00 This title and over 1 million more available with Kindle Unlimited 883. With this volume, anticipation for DC’s The New 52 reboot of their superhero universe, should be firmly replaced with a deep and abiding appreciation for what Snyder, Capullo, and Glapion have done with Gotham’s caped crusader. Robin introduced the Court of Owls and Talon as Batman explored the idea of the shadowy group being behind the death of his parents. ![]()
