Dc Comics Graphics Novel Batman The Court of Owls Volume 1

A now-classic graphic novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling creative team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo

It is not just fantastic jumping-on point for any new reader, but one of the great Batman stories ever told.

Batman has heard tales of Gotham City’s Court of Owls: that the members of this powerful cabal are the true rulers of Gotham. The Dark Knight dismissed the stories as rumors and old wives’ tales. Gotham was his city. Until now.

“A+. The hero’s got personality (and is unafraid to release a quip as sharp as a Batarang), a horde of supervillains, gumption to spare and a whole host of high-tech gadgetry to suitably impress longtime fans and those new to the Dark Knight.” —USA Today

“This is one of the best comics of the week.”  —The New York Times
 
“[Writer Scott Snyder] pulls from the oldest aspects of the Batman myth, combines it with sinister-comic elements from the series’ best period, and gives the whole thing terrific forward-spin by setting up an honest-to-gosh mystery for Batman to solve.” —Entertainment Weekly
