In Batman, Vol. 1: The Court of Owls and Batman, Vol. 2: The City of Owls, Snyder delivers a solid stor...

I liked it. They can reboot Bruce Wayne until I'm 80, and as long as the storyline, villainous characters, and visual art is stunning...I'll read it. This is not for the fluffy Harry Potter Owl lovers.Actually, I haven't been this terrified of birds since the Alfred Hitchcock film. This society is j...

I like Batman. A lot. He's that guy that makes you wish you could be a superhero. Superman is the one we all aspire to be (because he's the best, let's face it), but Batman is the one we actually feel like we have a chance to become. If only we work, train, focus.We could be him.And that's the l...

I don’t remember if I read any Batman when I first started reading comics awhile ago but have decided to start up again with this series. I love the idea of a Rich billionaire be...

They watch you at your hearth, they watch you in your bed, speak not a whispered word of them, or they’ll send the Talon for your head." Court of Owls Nursery Rhyme Cover Gushing Wor...

I was a little sceptically about the New 52 comics, but wow was I wrong! Batman was fantastic! Maybe even my new favorite comic series! The Court of Owls is the villain in this one, and let me tell you, they not only creep me out, but they were also really fascinating!Batman's character goes through...
