Good story, but I liked the first one better. There are so many twists so quickly, maybe that is just how comics go? It was a good little read.

Great! Definitely not as good as the others in the series, and so far I do think this was the weakest entry, but that doesn’t mean it’s bad! It’s far from bad! This left me with a lot of questions about what was really going on with the characters, but I feel like that was intentional. There’s a couple things about the story that I might have changed but it’s still a great addition to a fantastic Batman run!

Solid follow-up. Probably one too many threads for me, but it wasn't a deal-breaker.

Good original story

Court of owls story line is interesting and something new. Been a fan of Batman for a long time and look forward to the next few volumes.

I enjoyed this volume, the conclusion of the story began in vol. 1. However, certain vagaries and idiosyncrasies of Scott Snyder's storytelling prevent this book from being the modern Batman touchstone everyone claims it to be. Some plot points and some character motivations are too opaque. Still, Snyder's Batman series is the best the lamentable New 52 era has to offer. Enthusiastically recommended.

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.
