The reason for this 3 star rating is NOT because of the story; in that aspect, the story "BATMAN: THE COURT OF OWLS SAGA" is a 5 star rating! I purchased this as a ebook/ecomic & some of the pages were UPSIDE DOWN & SIDEWAYS when it shouldn't be. It was frustrating & hard to read so I had to end up having to screenshot the messed up pages before going on. That's my ONLY complaint, which has NOTHING to do with the story!

While the idea of a secret society of powerful Gotham families bending the city from the shadows (or with powerful assassins) makes for a thrilling Batman page turner; I... don't know about this version of Bruce/Batman (for me). Bruce is either in love with the city and/or trying to live up to his parents ambitions for what the city could be (IDK). But whatever he's doing here, it's certainly not about protecting/helping the people of Gotham. Also, Batman is umm... superhuman or something in this book. For instance, he's stabbed a LOT, falls from a 747 and uses a grappling hook to basically crash into a building to save his life, fights off some weird drug hallucination, gets stabbed some more, and is still able to take on an army of Talons (plus a super Talon) all in what seems like a week or so. WTH! I realize this is a fictional character, but geez... isn't he also supposed to be... human. IDK, it was a fun read, but for me it doesn't hold a candle to 'The Long Halloween'.

The court of owls story is great for first time readers. Its great for first time readers because you don't have to know anything about the comics or the character. Its also a great first read because im starting to read comics this was amazing for me and if your starting to read comics i definitely recommend the court of owls story.
