Review

Praise for Scott Snyder's Batman: Court of Owls Vol. 1: “A+. The hero's got personality (and is unafraid to release a quip as sharp as a Batarang), a horde of supervillains, gumption to spare and a whole host of high-tech gadgetry to suitably impress longtime fans and those new to the Dark Knight.” —USA Today   “This is one of the best comics of the week.”  —The New York Times   “[Writer Scott Snyder] pulls from the oldest aspects of the Batman myth, combines it with sinister-comic elements from the series’ best period, and gives the whole thing terrific forward-spin by setting up an honest-to-gosh mystery for Batman to solve.” —Entertainment Weekly   “Scott Snyder, already the company's greatest asset over the last four weeks, spins a stack of plates immediately…. Too often Batman comics focus heavily on the hero persona … Snyder sets up equal amounts of conflict for both Wayne's public and private personas.” —Time Out Chicago

As Bruce Wayne is attacked in his own home by the Court of Owls, so too is the city of Gotham as all the important people that make Gotham tick are hunted down one-by-one in a calculated effort by the Court. Batman must stop the assassins loose in the city and, with the help of the Bat-family, reclaim Gotham!The Court of Owls attack is still under way and now volume 2 is here encased in a nice hardcover with dustjacket like the first volume. This book covers issues 8-12 of the Batman series and Batman Annual #1 as well. The Court infiltrating Bruce's home gives a sense of hopelessness to the secrets Batman maintains and the art here by Greg Capullo and Rafael Albuquerque really implement the dread and cunning in the Court attack. However, the only downside is the transition from Greg to Rafael is not seamless by any means and just jumps to a different art-style mid-comic. Continuing on, the annual issue has guest writer James Tynion IV helping Scott Snyder, who wrote everything in the book, formulate the terrible new origin story to Mr. Freeze. The art by Jason Fabok is what saves the issue but the character of Mr. Freeze is forever scarred by a changed origin story for the worse. Greg and Rafael continue art duty for the main story and a nice backstory for Alfred's father and his struggles with the Court. Finally, we have an issue dedicated to a character named Harper Row with art by Becky Cloonan. Overall, it's a good book and the plethora of artists definitely doesn't detract from the feel of the writing. The Court of Owls storyline could have had a better ending but overall, was a good ride with the thrill of seeing Mr. Freeze, Penguin, and many others involved in this takeover of Gotham. Definitely a book to pick up and the textless covers and variant gallery in the back of the book make it even better!

Lots of others have had their say, but I'll add mine just because. First of all, it's Batman so odds are if you're looking at this volume, you're already a fan of the Dark Knight and are chomping at the bit having just finished the outstanding Court of Owls (Vol 1 of the relaunch, fantastic story if you haven't read it you should). On to City of Owls: The story picks up immediately following the final panels of The Court of Owls and becomes an all out war between the Batman and the Talons who are attacking Gotham City. This is an action-heavy volume so if you enjoy Bat battles and big bads, then you're wish will be granted within the first 2 or 3 chapters of this volume that concludes the Owls story arc. There is even an interesting spin on the emergent big bad of this story that adds some alterations to the way we view young Bruce Wayne and his parents (at least I think the Big Bad background is a new take, I'm nowhere near as deep in Batman mythology as a lot of people are). The conclusion is fairly satisfying and leaves an air of mystery about some of the happenings. Along with the Owls conclusion, there is an interesting background story on Alfred's father, there is a character-building story of a person that figures to feature more later on in the Batman series, and an intriguing new take on the origins and character of Mr Freeze. For me, the only thing really keeping this one from being a 5 star book is that it is nearly all an action adventure without a lot of substance elsewhere. I felt that Volume 1 was amazing with it's intrigue, mystery, action, psychological examination, and so on. You got a great view of Batman there from him being the world's greatest detective through the spectrum of being the defender of Gotham and incredibly mentally tough. In Vol 2 (this book), there isn't much detective work to do, the city's under attack and he needs to save it. Also, the only real mystery that crops up leads to Batman showing no interest in actually solving it. The imagery throughout the comic is great, so many wonderfully drawn and colored panels that give the character and city so much interest and depth. If you loved or even just liked volume 1, you will almost certainly be happy with volume 2 especially if you are an action fan. I like to see the whole picture of Batman so without the detective/mystery side of the story it loses just a little bit for me. That said it's still easily a solid 4-4.5 stars.

The City of Owls delivers terrific battles, good drama, and further character exploration in a most satisfying read. The Court of Owls was a fantastic story, not quite Year One or HUSH, but I wasn't expecting that and neither should you.Batman fights original foes and an interesting take on the Wayne family never before seen quite like this. Batman doesn't win just because he's Batman, nor is he portrayed as unbelievably invincible in fights. He starts the story beaten, betrayed by the city he loves and vows to protect. Physically, he is still recovering from his previous bout with the Court of Owls. Of course, when a villain is revealed to know Bruce Wayne and Batman are the same person, it cannot come to a great surprise he doesn't stick around. Still, the action feels real and convincingly dangerous; the Talon assassins cannot die, whereas Batman most certainly can. The conclusion of the Court story is very satisfying.There is not much to say on Capullo's work, he has improved somewhat on his pieces, which was already more than satisfactory. The Thrasher Batsuit in particular is visually wonderful. Bruce and company face's convey genuine emotion and help propel the story forward. I was initially hesitant on Capullo as artist, but he has delivered. Additionally, the final chapter detailing the origin and ensuing conflict with Mr. Freeze give Fabok a chance to shine. Nightwing and Robin look great, truly looking heroic yet not overdone. The story feels a little shoe-horned in, but I'm glad it was placed at the end of the story so as not to interrupt the main arc.So, with all this praise, why only four stars? For me, it comes down to two reasons: it's not quite as satisfying as Vol.1, and two, the Harper Row story. Why not the Jarvis Pennyworth story? It was interesting, the art was a little clunky, but it was a brief and relevant component to the history of the Owls. The Harper Row chapter failed to impress me, and I know that sounds arrogant. Batman already has so many excellent supporting characters that Harper, to me, feels unnecessary. I can appreciate that DC now has to meet more diverse gender audiences, but I still don't see this as a valid excuse. I know Batgirl has her own title, and so she should be doing her own thing, but why not the already established Stephanie Brown or Cassandra Cain? When Oracle was left out of the New 52, a character void was left in her place, and I understand the need to fill it. Harper Row has the tech skills of Oracle, but not the heart. While this may be unpopular, I felt the story was partly created just to prove that DC is addressing the relevant controversies of society and appear young and progressive. That's fine, that's what helps the company survive and earn praise and recognition from diversity groups. Still, I felt the 'forcedness' of this addition, and it left me kind of scratching my head. This is only one small component of the book, but still, I think was distracting enough to pull focus from the positive aspects.
