Arc Summary: A perfect start for Snyder's run on Batman. I love the Court of Owls and Talon so much. Bruce is intelligent and does detective work but still has his faults. Capullo's art is great as well.

One of my favourite comic books of all time, and probably one of the greatest adventures of the caped crusader, Batman: The Court of Owls is an essential piece of the Batman storyline that reveals the tale of the organization which ruled Gotham all along. It made me question so many other comics in the series, and made them look better. The characters are very well written, the story is well paced, and the artstyle is completely amazing, especially because of the dark/orange-ish trade of the color palette and the witty and detailed drawings. I won't leave any spoiler, but I can safely affirm that this book is a must-have for any self respecting Batman fan.

Snyder starts off his Batman run strongly with the court. He creates an ominous group of villains that rewrites the history of Gotham. Capullo art is the best in business too.

Scott Snyder thinks of a much deeper concept instead of an origin story and it succeeds.The story starts at a point where everyone wants Batman which is none other than detective Batman investigating a murder that lead into much more secrets in Gotham.Greg Capullo's dark art is hell of a partner for Snyder's writings.The volume ends with a massive cliffhanger which points to the unpleasant future of Gotham.

To streamline my thoughts on this arc, this will serve as a review of both this volume, and Volume 2: City of Owls. Coming off of The Long Halloween, this could only be an improvement. To begin with the positives, this arc piles on characterization for Bruce Wayne in a way that no other Batman run I've read has. It's almost obsessive in how much it veers into Bruce's psyche, giving us thought bubbles throughout many of the events that play out. This leads to some compelling setup (that may or may not be paid off in a satisfying way) that pits Bruce's ego against the true villains of Gotham that have been sitting right in front of him. The criticism of Batman as a vigilante who never really does anything to solve crime has been levied ag more
