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.
