Batman Vol. 01: The Court of Owls SC (N52)

Writer Scott Snyder and artist Greg Capullo have created a graphic novel that pays respect to 75 years of the Dark Knight's mythology, yet generates a take on Batman that's wholly unique and epic in scale. A part of DC Comics' The New 52, Batman Vol. 1: The Court of Owls has quickly ascended to the status of 'modern classic.'

Batman has heard tales of Gotham City's Court of Owls; that the members of this powerful cabal are the true rulers of Gotham, but dismissed the stories as rumors and old wives' tales. Gotham was his city. Until now. A brutal assassin is sinking his razor-sharp talons into the city's best and brightest as well as its most dangerous and deadly. If the dark legends are true, his masters are more powerful predators than Batman could ever imagine. Collects Batman #1-7!
