Okay, so I recently started reading the new 52 Batman comics (NOT detective comics, The Dark Knight. JUST Batman).
I'm about 5 issues in and it seems that I accidentally got the Spanish prints of issues 6-8. Oops! So far, I'm really enjoying it. I don't know how different the story was - if it even existed - in the older version of the comic, so I can't tell compare. And being a huge Batman fan, I'm quite disappointed in myself!
Court of The Owls is a pretty badass concept, I must say. But I'm surprised there isn't even a 'supernatural' hint to it unlike my expectations. Nightwing, and Robin also make an appearance but nothing beats the charm of Alfred - the ever-trustworthy butler that can work a supercomputer all by himself. I thoroughly loved how we get to explore the history of the Wayne family and it's shockingly violent and grim. The Court Of Owls are born and bred assassins and are now at the verge of slaying Bruce Wayne. This is one of the rarest times when Batman has been mentally overmatched. Not that we didn't already know, there is indeed a weaker side to Batman, and I can't wait to see how this turns out. Right after I get the proper prints!
