Batman Volume 1: Court of Owls

Booktalk
Batman had long heard stories about the Court of Owls, but that’s all they were to him. Just stories. They were fairy tales and nursery rhymes. Supposedly, the stories went, a secret society ruled Gotham City from the shadows and punished all who oppose them with a visit from a deadly assassin.

The stories become a gruesome reality when Gotham residents begin turning up dead, each with a message for Batman: you can run, but you can’t hide. You’re next.

Filled with stunning action shots and incredible illustrations, Batman: The Court of Owls follows the Dark Knight as he struggles to uncover the truth and free his city, Gotham City, from the talons of a secret and ancient evil.
