The Batman: The Court of Owls Mask and Book Boxed Set collects issues #1–7
of BATMAN in trade paperback with a Court of Owls replica mask.
Following his ground-breaking, critically acclaimed run on Detective Comics,
writer Scott Snyder (American Vampire) alongside artist Greg Capullo (Spawn)
begins a new era of The Dark Knight as with the relaunch of Batman with this
critically acclaimed, New York Times #1 best-selling graphic novel!
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.
Could the Court of Owls, once thought to be nothing more than an urban legend,
be behind the crime and corruption? Or is Bruce Wayne losing his grip on sanity
and falling prey to the pressures of his war on crime?
Now, this seminal Batman graphic novel is paired with a replica mask worn by
the villainous Court of Owls, a must-have for any true fan of Scott
Snyder's groundbreaking work.
""This is a clever and sophisticated Batman–with a dark, edgy, and
thought-provoking narrative ably abetted by Capullo's pulpish, detailed art.
Readers will find it hard to put down." —Publishers Weekly, starred
