The reader will experience the story from Batman's viewpoint on pages 108-117. After a series
of brutal murders rocks Gotham City Batman begins to realize that perhaps these crimes go far
deeper than appearances suggest. As the Caped Crusader begins to unravel this deadly mystery
he discovers a conspiracy going back to his youth and beyond to the origins of the city he's
sworn to protect. Batman has heard tales of Gotham City's Court of Owls: that the members of
this powerful cabal are the true rulers of Gotham. The Dark Knight dismissed the stories as
rumors and old wives' tales. Gotham was his city. Until now. A brutal assassin is sinking his
razor-sharp talons into the city's best and brightest as well as its most dangerous and
deadly. If the dark legends are true his masters are more powerful predators than the Batman
could ever imagine. This now-classic graphic novel from the #1 New York Times bestselling
creative team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo is not just fantastic jumping-on point for any
new reader but one of the great Batman stories ever told. With every year that passes this
masterpiece becomes more entrenched into this medium's pantheon of the greatest stories ever
told. Collects issues #1-7 of Batman.
