Review:

This is the first issue after the end of “The Court of Owls” story- arc. It is an awesome issue. We meet Harper Row, who had previously helped Batman in the sewers in Issue #3. We get to see an outsiders view in to Gotham. We also get an outsiders view of Bruce and Batman. Harper’s Point of view was interesting. She is smart and it won’t take her long before she figures out the Bruce and Batman are the same person.

It was interesting to see that Batman is so committed to fighting crime. Harper reminds me of Lisbeth Salander minus the tattoos. We know that this takes place during the events of the court of owls. This is like an interlude to fill us on the details of what else happened during the Court Of Owls time. This just makes us ready for Jokers’ return in Issue #13.  I believe that this is the first issue featuring the artist Becky Cloonan. She has done an awesome job with drawing the characters. It was wonderful to see such a clean image yet showing us the grime of Gotham

All in all this was a very good issue, though not completely Batman oriented..

Final Verdict:

8.5/10

Review:

When DC re-booted their ’52’ series and called it ‘The New 52‘, I was sure that DC was making a huge mistake. After reading the all the 10 issues of Batman, I realized that I couldn’t be more wrong!  The whole ‘Court of Owls’ story-arc is such a wonderful concept. Snyder who had done a wonderful job with the American Vampire mini-series, has shown that he can do better than that. This ws such an explosive issue, with some striking revelations and some awesome fight scenes. Batman, as most of you may feel, is the best DC super-hero. And lets face, Superman is just a stupid alien! I could go on and on about why superman sucks and I could go on and on about why Batman is awesome!!

The scenes were awesomely portrayed, which adds to the intensity of the plot. This series is like a psychological thriller, which just gets better with every issue. This issue answers many questions about the court of owls. And the last few pages were so awesomely awesome!. I have no words to describe how awesome it was!

Final Verdict:

9.5/10
