Encore une fois, une intrigue de ouf et des illustrations splendides. J’ai tellement aimé l’aspect mythique du Court of Owls, comment une telle chose pourrait réellement passer sous le nez de Batman après tant de temps… mais au final ils arrivent à rendre cela sensé.
Il y avait parfois des moments qui me semblaient un peu plus irréels (oui, c’est un comic je le sais à la base c’est irréel, mais je veux dire que ce l’était plus qu’à la normale pour un comic de Batman), ca me semblait moins groundé que les autres comics de Batman que j’ai lu pour l’instant.

The Court of Owls is probably one of the most interesting antagonists in BM's universe. So much potential in discovering the true reason why gotham is such a shithole, but IK that DC writers are deathly afraid of a good plot that goes beyond a middle schooler's attention span. EXPLORE BRUCE'S RELATIONSHIP W THE CITY AND HIS WEALTH!!! MAKE HIM COME TO RECKON WITH HIS FAMILY'S HISTORY. Also learning more about his mom was rlly cool. also Alfred's dad!!

This was fantastic. My first intro into the Court of Owls, the mysterious ancient group running Gothem in the shadows delivered. I liked the cells at the end of each chapter shown both normal and as a sketch.

One of the best comic books I have ever read!
