Batman: The Night of the Owls Compendium

A shadow war engulfs Gotham as the Court of Owls unleashes its army across every corner of the city. This definitive compendium unites the influential story in full, for the first time!

Bruce Wayne thought that the Court of Owls was nothing more than a nursery rhyme--until he became the target of its legendary assassin, the Talon, and found himself fighting for his life against an enemy that seems to be part of the very fabric of the city he has sworn to protect. Now, as he works to expose the Court's secrets, its fury builds into an unparalleled crescendo of violence--and Batman will need the help of every one of his allies to stop the wave of destruction that is about to be unleashed!

Written and illustrated by an all-star creative team--including Scott Snyder, Greg Capullo, Kyle Higgins, Jonathan Glapion, Tony S. Daniel, Guillem March, Scott Lobdell, and Rafael Albuquerque--Batman: Night of the Owls Compendium assembles one of the greatest Batman sagas ever printed in a single definitive volume!
