Batman, The Court of Owls

A+. The hero's got personality (and is unafraid to release a quip as sharp as a Batarang), a horde of supervillains, gumption to spare and a whole host of high-tech gadgetry to suitably impress longtime fans and those new to the Dark Knight. USA Today
 
This is one of the best comics of the week.   The New York Times
 
[Writer Scott Snyder] pulls from the oldest aspects of the Batman myth, combines it with sinister-comic elements from the series best period, and gives the whole thing terrific forward-spin by setting up an honest-to-gosh mystery for Batman to solve. Entertainment Weekly
 
Scott Snyder, already the company's greatest asset over the last four weeks, spins a stack of plates immediately . Too often Batman comics focus heavily on the hero persona Snyder sets up equal amounts of conflict for both Wayne's public and private personas. Time Out Chicago
 
A stunning debut . Snyder knows these characters, sets up an intriguing mystery, and delivers some action that Capullo realizes stunningly. This is definitely in the top rank of the revamp. The Onion/AV Club
 
Hits all the right notes. I enjoyed the living hell out of this. io9
 
Bruce Wayne is a badass. The end. IGN
 
There's enough here, kept at a high enough level to make it interesting and viable across media and digestible enough for even the most novice DC Universe reader . Score one for DC and score one for Snyder and Capullo in finding a new fan. Comic Book Resources
