Description
For over a century, the Court of Owls has ruled Gotham City in secret - their reach inescapable, their power unstoppable.
Until they battled the Batman.
Gotham's vigilante protector managed to escape the talons of the Court with his mind and body barely intact. The Dark Knight managed to win the battle with his deadly new aggresors, but certainly not the war. Batman was just the first part of their conquest. Now they have their sights set on something much bigger: Gotham City.
A critical and commercial smash, BATMAN: THE CITY OF OWLS (collecting BATMAN #8-12 and BATMAN ANNUAL #1) continues the instant-classic saga of the Dark Knight's battle with Gotham City's oldest and darkest forces from the #1 New York Times best-selling creative team of writer Scott Snyder (AMERICAN VAMPIRE) and artist Greg Capullo (Spawn), plus an array of talented guest contributors!

Advance Praise
"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
"[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
"Brilliant.
This is a modernization of Silver Age optimism replacing camp with
today's dialogue expectations of introspection and smart wit. Pure comic
gold." -- AIN'T IT COOL NEWS
