S K Sharma: The screenplay writing in this is legendary. It seems it's written like a movie that keeps you hooked till the end.
Must have for all batman fans.

Mon A.: Genial para gente conspiranoica, te hace temer que batman quede atrapado, pero como el mejor siempre esta un paso adelante de su enemigo.

Max v.d. Burg: This was my first experience with Batman comics and I feel like I was led to believe this would be a good one to start with if you were new to the stories. However throughout the releases they introduce characters as though they're already super established, they sometimes rarely explain who they actually are or what the relationships were. I also didn't like the frequent different art styles and discombobulating arcs, maybe I'm just not savvy enough for these types of comics(yet) but I was confused too often turning the page into a new issue.

The threads I could follow were fun and I very much enjoyed a big part of these comics.

Juliano: Tanto a arte quanto o roteiro são prefeitos. Envolventes, com cores comedidas e muitas imagens em movimento. Um trama fascinante abordada por todas as partes que compõem o personagem (o fisico, o psicológico e o emocional).

MereChristian: In DC Comics, there are many alternate realities (together called the “multiverse), one of which has the heroes of the main DC universe as the villains, and the villains as the heroes. In this universe (Earth-2, I believe), the Batman type of villain is called “Owlman”, because he is Batman's polar opposite, and it's a fun play on the idea that in nature owls hunt bats.

In the rebooted, before the latest "relaunch" called "Rebirth", DC Universe of the “new 52”, the writers of *Batman* took the central idea of the owls hunting bats concept to a whole new level. In *Batman, Vol. 1: The Court of Owls*, the Dark Knight finds himself the prey for a change. Both of his personas are being separately hunted by a group of men and women called “the court of owls”. The “court of owls” is the subject of an old children's' rhyme and scary story of some shadowy group that “controls” Gotham, and supposedly has since colonial days. Unfortunately for Batman, they are *quite* real, and after some years of ignoring him, now are turning their attention to the Dark Knight. Their assassin, the Talon, has been sent to do the dirty work of taking out the enemies of the court....

Anarchy in the US: In every comic characters catalog, they have at least one event that either changes the characters image in a defining factor or is just so well done the whole world is taking notice of it while it's happening. For someone like Batman, he's had his share of both of those qualities numerous times in his lifetime. Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Batman: Year One, Batman: A Death in the Family, and Batman: The Long Halloween or Batman: Knightfall saga, are just a few examples of such stories that come to mind. We might be adding another story to that list in the future. Ever since writer Scott Snyder has come on into the comic scene as a relative little known until his run on The Black Mirror, the man has become synonymous with Batman. BUT...his run was with Dick Grayson as Batman. Not Bruce Wayne. With the DC New 52, Snyder has become a hot community now and has been given the chance to tackle Bruce Wayne as Batman for the first time ever. And let's just say, it's one hell of an introduction. I'll try to keep it spoiler free.

BATMAN VOL.1: THE COURT OF OWLS collects issues #1-7 and finds Bruce Wayne back in Gotham, as well as returning to the title of Batman *(everything...
