It still doesn't grab me, though.

A simple cover is just what this issue needs. In keeping with the noir atmosphere Matches inherently inhabits, we see only the man himself, holding up his signature match as guns are pointed at his face. In the firelight, Matches' shadow is that of Batman. It's a clean, thoughtfully-colored image, and suits this installment of the story perfectly.

Meh. I know that DC had Chiang redo the cover once they'd decided to make all the #0 issues have the same motif, but I wish he'd been able to use his original once. Here, dynamics were sacrificed for consistency.

Honestly, the best part of the cover is the way the Iceberg Lounge seems to mimic the Talon's mask. "Night of the Owls" isn't Selina's story, and the cover seems to make that clear.

Hades looks kind of dumb (it's his mouth), but I quite like Diana. She looks more annoyed and angry at what's being done to her rather than fearful, and that's perfect.
