Gotham City's in the grip of a criminal conspiracy spanning generations, and the bad guys have you in their sights!
Time to fight crime!
But wait -- how is it you didn't know about your own family history? How is it you didn't know about all the buildings with the secret hideouts installed on their "missing" thirteenth floors? Aren't you supposed to be the "world's greatest detective" or something? I dunno man... it seems like a lot of suspect things happen right under your nose...
...and then there's the first part of this story, which made me wonder what the point of Batman is anyway. If Gotham is always getting worse, how is the presence of Batman making anything better? Maybe that's a debate for another day, but even so this Court of Owls Saga had me wondering. What's the point of Batman if various gangs control all the train lines? And if the inmates can so easily escape their asylum? And if a gang above all other gangs is running the city from behind the scenes?
I'd been hearing about the Court of Owls for a while, and the best I can say is that it's just OK. Scott Snyder has an ear for dialogue, regardless of how verbose and/or long winded his fight scenes might be. Greg Capullo is a good artist, and I enjoyed the fight inside the maze. But yeah, the overall premise behind this saga seemed a bit silly to me.
