I gave it an 8.5/10 (and still wonder if I should’ve given it a 9/10 instead, but that goes to show you how arbitrary the number ratings are) and think that the first 5 chapters are Batman books at their finest. And really, if you haven’t read Volume 1, you should. I won’t be spoiling anything major from Volume 2 in this review, but I will most certainly be dropping spoilers from the previous volume Batman: The Court of Owls so if you haven’t read that before: TURN BACK NOW. This graphic novel includes Batman #8-12 and Batman Annual #1 featuring Mr. In my mind, from that point on the story went from being a “masterpiece” to being “a really good Batman story” which is still worth celebrating, but I felt like The City of Owls could have been so much more. So I went back and read the saga from the very beginning before writing this piece and what I found is that I absolutely love everything about the first New 52 Batman epic until we reach issue #6. The Court of Owls’ attack on Gotham City that dominated bat-comics for nearly all of 2012 felt like a distant memory when it came time to review Batman, Vol. I have reviewed a lot of books since the battle for who owns Gotham ended.
