Description
An original novel pitting Batman against the Court of Owls, a secret society of wealthy families that's controlled Gotham for centuries using murder and money. For generations, an apocryphal cabal has controlled Gotham from the shadows, wielding fear and violence through its undead assassins, the Talons. Its leaders meet in secrecy, hiding their identities behind masks. Once, they sought to kill Bruce Wayne who, as Batman, dealt them their greatest defeats, but they faded back into darkness before he could eliminate them entirely. THE COURT OF OWLS Now Gotham City is plagued with a series of brutal murders. Batman and his allies - including Nightwing and Batgirl - realize the Talons have returned. Should the Owls obtain what they seek, it could grant them power that no one could counter.

Reviews
"Anyone not indulging their inner Dark Knight by investigating Titan Books and DC Comics' current line of Batman prose novels is missing out on some of the best genre writing available." - SyFy "a finely constructed mystery for Batman comics readers up for a new twist on Batman, for fans of NBC's Gotham series, and fans of the New 52 in particular" - Borg.com "an example of the best of classic Batman, weaving the elements that are most treasured by fans into its fast-paced and intricate plot" - The BiblioSanctum "a worthy follow up to the original story and I hope that Greg Cox isn't finished playing in the world of Batman and with the Court of Owls" - The Batman Universe "Overall, I really enjoyed Batman: The Court of Owls. The story was interesting and engaging, the characters were fully realized, and it left me wanting more in the end" - Geekisphere
