Review: Batman Takes it to the Owls - This volume collects issues 8-12 and Batman Annual 1. Bruce Wayne thought he knew Gotham City. The city he was born in. The city his parents died in. The city he became the Batman in. As the Batman he had to understand his city, know every nook and cranny in order to defeat the criminal element. Bruce felt he had that mastered. He was wrong. Enter the Court of Owls. Bruce dismissed them as just a myth but he was so wrong. They educated him on that and showed him just how much Gotham is their city. But now that the Bat knows of them and has suffered at their hands it's time to take the fight to them. Let me first start off by saying what a great time it is to be a Batman fan. Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo follow up the first volume in heart pounding fashion as they continue to prove they are one of the best writer/artist duos working in comics today. Wow! Issue eight has Bruce licking his wounds back at Wayne manor with trusty Alfred by his side. They are hit and hit hard by an assault from the Court by their warrior class, the Talon's. It unfolds in great pulse pounding fashion a credit to writer and artist here as both men are forced into hiding in the Batcave. The backup feature follows appropriately here, co-written by James Tynion IV and illustrated by Rafael Albuquerque, in which Bruce "suits up" to deal with the Talons as Alfred sends a distress call out to the other vigilantes of Gotham and members of the Bat-Family leading into Night of the Owls, a tie-in event that takes place across the various other Bat titles but you get the main story and all that is really important here. Issue nine is the dark knight triumphant! Batman fights back in such brutality amazingly drawn by Capullo. Bruce had underestimated the Court but regains his confidence and sets out to take them down. Next is the Annual. It is illustrated by Jason Fabok who is currently killing it on Detective Comics. This is a slight detour from the main story but not too jarring and plus who doesn't love an awesome Mr. Freeze story! Snyder gives good ole' Dr. Fries a New 52 remake that pays tribute to the classic Batman: The Animated Series origin but gives a few twists and surprises that make a satisfying and acceptable new origin. Also, Freeze has a bone to pick with the Court as well. Issues ten and eleven have Batman hunting down the Court and sticking it to them. A huge revelation is made shaking up the Wayne's origins but I found it to be a fascinating addition to the Wayne mythos as no family is without their shocks and secrets. The main villain does get a little too chatty in the climax and the conclusion with Bruce and Dick drags a bit as well. Minor flaws that took some tension and intrigue out of the end. The rest of the backups are then featured (9-11) illustrated by Rafael Albuquerque. A fascinating tale from Jarvis Pennyworth to his son Alfred warning him not to come to Gotham because the Wayne's are dangerous to be around. Issue twelve is a stand alone issue that actually dips in and out, time wise, of the previous eleven issues. It features Harper Row a bit of a punk teenage girl with a good heart. She lives with her gay brother who she has to protect from bullies and is a tomboy as well. She crosses paths with the Batman and gives her life new purpose. The first part is illustrated by Becky Cloonan, the first woman to draw an issue of Batman and a great job she does. The second part is done by Andy Clark who is a guy who has drawn Batman before and does a great job as well. Great art. Great story. Great Batman. Bring on Joker.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Almost as good as volume 1, but still great
*by R***K on February 15, 2017*

Lots of others have had their say, but I'll add mine just because. First of all, it's Batman so odds are if you're looking at this volume, you're already a fan of the Dark Knight and are chomping at the bit having just finished the outstanding Court of Owls (Vol 1 of the relaunch, fantastic story if you haven't read it you should). On to City of Owls: The story picks up immediately following the final panels of The Court of Owls and becomes an all out war between the Batman and the Talons who are attacking Gotham City. This is an action-heavy volume so if you enjoy Bat battles and big bads, then you're wish will be granted within the first 2 or 3 chapters of this volume that concludes the Owls story arc. There is even an interesting spin on the emergent big bad of this story that adds some alterations to the way we view young Bruce Wayne and his parents (at least I think the Big Bad background is a new take, I'm nowhere near as deep in Batman mythology as a lot of people are). The conclusion is fairly satisfying and leaves an air of mystery about some of the happenings. Along with the Owls conclusion, there is an interesting background story on Alfred's father, there is a character-building story of a person that figures to feature more later on in the Batman series, and an intriguing new take on the origins and character of Mr Freeze. For me, the only thing really keeping this one from being a 5 star book is that it is nearly all an action adventure without a lot of substance elsewhere. I felt that Volume 1 was amazing with it's intrigue, mystery, action, psychological examination, and so on. You got a great view of Batman there from him being the world's greatest detective through the spectrum of being the defender of Gotham and incredibly mentally tough. In Vol 2 (this book), there isn't much detective work to do, the city's under attack and he needs to save it. Also, the only real mystery that crops up leads to Batman showing no interest in actually solving it. The imagery throughout the comic is great, so many wonderfully drawn and colored panels that give the character and city so much interest and depth. If you loved or even just liked volume 1, you will almost certainly be happy with volume 2 especially if you are an action fan. I like to see the whole picture of Batman so without the detective/mystery side of the story it loses just a little bit for me. That said it's still easily a solid 4-4.5 stars.
