Batman Vol. 1: The Court of Owls (TP)

When the shadows that built Gotham strike back.
A brutal series of murders rattles the heart of Gotham—and Batman discovers the truth is even darker than the crimes. Beneath the city’s foundations lies an ancient secret society known as the Court of Owls, pulling the strings of power for generations.

As Batman unravels the web of conspiracy, he’s hunted by Talon, a deadly assassin with no past and no mercy. With every secret turned, Bruce Wayne confronts his family’s hidden role in Gotham’s darkest history—and the very ground beneath him seems to betray his cause.

Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo deliver a haunting blend of gothic terror and detective noir—redefining Gotham as a city where its own architecture hides its deepest nightmares.

This trade paperback collects Batman #1–7, 176 pages. A defining introduction to the New 52 era and a modern Batman classic.
