I don't care if the rest of the New 52 comics aren't great. All the Batman ones I've read have been awesome, and this one was a great ending to the Owls arc. ❤️ Batman.

I really enjoyed The City of the Owls plot line. Thought it was well crafted and action packed. Even if it did end a little abruptly.
But my favourite part of this volume by far was the Harper Row short at the end. I think she's a fantastic, complex character - she's handy, she's loyal, she has a unique style. I think she is a fabulous new addition to the Bat-family. Most of her story was drawn by Becky Cloonan, who's style fit perfectly (think Killjoys). If Cloonan could draw her all the time that would be fabulous.

The first half or so is amazing, but it kind of drags after that. They're clearly setup chapters, and solid ones at that, they're just not as good as the first few and obviously leave the story in suspension. So as its own condensed story, it suffers towards the end.

The Court of Owls is striking all over Gotham and their first target is Wayne Manor! Can an injured Bruce Wayne and Alfred fight them off and mobilize the rest of the Bat-Family? And what is Bruce Wayne's connection to the Court?
The Court of Owls storyline comes to a conclusion in this volume. Batman dons a suit of armor and kicks some undead ass as he figures out who is leading the Court of Owls in it's assault on Gotham.
That's about all there is to it. Snyder crafts a pretty creepy Batman tale and Capullo's art is up to the task. The only gripe I have is that it felt like a ton of stuff was missing, probably because I've only read the Scott Snyder Bat-title in the New 52 and not all the ancillary bat-stuff.
Four stars. Snyder is shaping up to be the best bat-writer in decades.

I liked that Lincoln Marsh was revealed as the head of the Court and he may or may not be Batman's long lost brother, Thomas Wayne Jr, who appeared in one tale pre-Crisis, only he was an older bad seed brother in that depiction. Owlman's ambiguous end leaves the door open for more Court of Owls intrigue down the line.That's about all there is to it.

Love the Court of Owls and Talon and Lincoln Marsh, but feel let down from the beginning of the story. Is this the end?

I did not find the follow-up to the Court of Owls to be particularly impressive. I think it suffers more pointedly from being crammed into the monthly-floppy page-count chapters. "Ghost in the Machine" was a lovely bonus chapter after the main Owls tale, and even it suffered from a very clashing art-switch halfway through the chapter.

I wish they just made this one whole book, (they probably did.) Having the rest of an amazing story and then two mediocre stories just kinda sucked a little bit.

Overall a great follow up to Court of Owls, but the ending leaves too many loose ends to be a 5/5. Still so many memorable moments. Greg Capullo is on point with artwork. A must read.
