Reviews

[Russell Bowman · Rating 3 out of 5]

The Court of Owls is a bit old now isn't it?

Seriously, you can walk into the library and read the whole thing in one book. It's like DC saying "Oh hey, remember this story line that wasn't as good as Death Of The Family? You can still buy it! Give us your money!" Of course they're making NFTs now too which is the lowest form of money grubbing.

Bruce Wayne has discovered a secret society called the Court of Owls.

The Talons are elite killers under the society’s control.

Ever diligent, Alfred also comes upon a list. A target list. It includes many of Gotham’s influential and powerful players.

In this installment, even Alfred is under attack…but he manages to put out The Bat Call.

Strong illustrations, especially those at the back end. Very cool visuals overall.

2012 preview.

Good color artwork. The court of owls story line is quite good. The fact that Bat man and family are fighting against a version of themselves is amusing. Vigilante vs vigilante, ethical quandaries.
