Batman: The Court of Owls (DC Compact Comics) Paperback – 4 Jun. 2024

Grate comic book 10/10 story, DC compact is an amazing way to collect some of DC best stories, I would 100% recommend this edition, it has everything you want from the paperbacks or other editions but in a more comfortable "compact" style!!!

Bought this twice, once in New 52 Vol 1 and 2 then again as a gift to a mate. Thats how good this comic/graphic Novel is. Has already been adapted numerous times in TV and animation despite how young this story is (2011) and rumour is we are getting an Arkham game based on this.

This was a fun Batman story, where Bruce is up against a group of assassins, with deep ties to Gotham.The first thing that jumps out at me in the book is how good the art is. Every page is crisp, with stunning lay outs and beautiful colouring. Capullo adds another stunning run to his already stellar career.We also have to acknowledge the excellent work by Snyder, and how this Batman run was his breakout book, with his touching Bruce and Alfred relationship, to his exciting, action packed stories.Its worth mentioning that DC's compact comics line is great too. Smaller, easier to store books, at an incredible price, are an great incentive to take a chance on a book you might not always go for. It's what encouraged me to buy and I'm pleased I did. Now you may ask, why did you only give it 4 stars then? To be fair, I can't really say for certain, but there are other books I've given 5 stars to that really did deserve it, and unfortunately, Court of Owlsdoesn't quite match up.

A nursery rhyme about the vengeance of the Court of Owls has frightened the children of Gotham for decades but, when a body is found next to a macabre message indicating Bruce Wayne will die, Batman must confront the fact that even nursery rhymes may have a basis in truth.Snyder's vibrant tale recharges the 'Batman' mythos and the plot, artwork, colouring and layout all contribute to making this an absorbing experience.

Grandson loves these type of books

Bouggt for my daughter, since she is reading this series. So naturally it was well received! Good series if you like Batman.

I'm only about a 3rd in and it's pretty good. If you like good Batman stories, you'll enjoy this.

This is a great collection of The Court of Owls saga, which is a brilliant story with beautiful illustrations. However, the nature of the compact style means that the writing is quite small, which meant it was a challenge to read, even with my reading glasses on. Regardless a great buy (for those with better eye sight) and arrived quickly and in perfect condition.
