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 aggressors, 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!
