About this ebook

#1 New York Times Best Seller!

Following his ground-breaking, critically acclaimed run on Detective Comics, writer Scott Snyder (American Vampire) alongside artist Greg Capullo (Spawn) begins a new era of The Dark Knight with the relaunch of Batman, as a part of DC Comics—The New 52!
 
After a series of brutal murders rocks Gotham City, Batman begins to realize that perhaps these crimes go far deeper than appearances suggest. As the Caped Crusader begins to unravel this deadly mystery, he discovers a conspiracy going back to his youth and beyond to the origins of the city he's sworn to protect. Could the Court of Owls, once thought to be nothing more than an urban legend, be behind the crime and corruption? Or is Bruce Wayne losing his grip on sanity and falling prey to the pressures of his war on crime?

Ratings and reviews

i found a whole section that was sideways, followed by a section upside-down. ive recently been purchasing some of the new trades on google play and it's disturbing to find obvious carelessness like this. please let me know when you fix this and i'll gladly give it a 5-star that the book deserves.

The Court Of The Owls was an incredible first storyarc on the new 52 Batman's series, this one is a benchmark for every other starting comic book in the reboot and helped many new fans to get into comics. The new 52 was a great idea to fix the hell of a mess of DC's continuity, to introduce new fans into the comic book world and to increase DC's popularity as well as their sales. Also, the set of upside down pages in this compilation isn't a scanning problem, it is legit to the physical issues.

I bought a physical copy not a online book the story is amazing some say its an alternative origin I disagree. Its very dark continuing the break of the batman (only few times has this ever been done). A must have to any Batman comic book reader. Scott Snyder is one of my favorite. Batman writers. I want more from him. Look forward to reading more volumes in the future. The best new 52 set you can collect.
