Very cool issue, love seeing Bruce use everything as his disposal fighting the Talons. Lincoln’s death, if he’s really dead, is upsetting because their dynamic was one of my favorite things to come out of the first few issues.

Shocked that this is my favorite thing from “The Court of Owls Saga”. I think the story of a citizen of Gotham trying to repay Batman back for something that he probably barely recalls is really interesting. I thought this issue was really well written.

I think it’s a good decision adding some doubt to Lincoln’s claim of being Bruce’s brother, that is what I was hoping they’d do. The stuff with Alfred’s father feels like a very random inclusion, but I don’t think it’s bad. I do think Lincoln’s Iron Man Talon suit is bad though.

I think it’s easy to predict Lincoln being the big bad, but I think the reveal is handled well anyway. I do think it would be far better if Lincoln was lied to and isn’t actually Bruce’s brother. Almost done with the Court of Owls saga and all I can really muster is that I found it pretty disappointing? For a story that feels so hyped up, I am pretty bummed with how sloppy it all feels to me.

I think this is the best issue from this run so far. I enjoy the tension and the discovery of the Talons that Bruce is Batman. I still am not a fan of the paneling but I think the art is better this issue. Invading Wayne Manor is well done.
