Woah. So dark. So addicting! This is why I love anything Batman! It’s morally grey, twisted and dark at times, epically badass, and has just a dadh of hope no matter the odds!

The art style, especially the fight scenes, were AWESOME! Alfred’s the GOAT as always, and it was cool to see a little of the Batfamily too. Dick and Damian are my favorite members aside from Batman.

I remember watching Batman vs. Robin and getting interested with the idea of the Court of Owls. I’m out of touch with all the original comics series since I didn’t get into them as a kid and only started reading them about a year ago. To this day, Batman continues to be my favorite “superhero” and this book is another reminder of why.
