Batman VS The Court of Owls - Batman Vol. 2: The City of Owls

[@ian7064]

The New 52 underperformed as a whole but I really enjoyed the Court of Owls storyline. I thought it was a super interesting idea and the look of the talons was so cool. And I agree with the point about Mr Freeze. The animated series' origin is the definitive origin and shouldn't be tampered with

[@davfree9732]

Meanwhile the Harly Quinn death of Fries, and how his wife went on a bender with Maxi Zeua should be forgotten. Batman Beyond did him better

[@AwesomenessImpolsion]

The Powers family I'm pretty sure is meant as a reference to Derek Powers from Batman Beyond. Also, it may be comforting to know that later on in the run, Snyder does another Freeze story that reverts him to his Heart of Ice version. Lincoln March isn't around anymore and hasn't shown up since. I think at the time it was more like how Morrison created the Antimatter Universe in order to get the Crime Syndicate again even though it's really just Earth-3. So as such any time they need an Owlman or a Thomas Wayne Jr. they just used the Earth-3 version.

[@TevyaSmolka]

The city of owls in my opinion was a interesting continuation of the story. It the ending to the court of owls was so disappointing in my opinion.

[@Gundam_JAY]

I respectfully disagree I liked that twist ending

[@Gundam_JAY]

It makes batman a less of a God and more of a human caught up in a history that doesn't initially involve him

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@Gundam_JAY i can understand that and honestly I am glad you liked that twist ending.

[@Gundam_JAY]

@@TevyaSmolka thank you 😊

[@js-yh6sr]

Bro same

[@j.moon98]

Hell yeah, a new Smokey video. Hope you do the White Knight series from Sean Murphy one day.

[@azozazoz9196]

Coincidentally, Talon is going to meet Owlman of Earth-3 in the crossover series called The War for Earth-3.

[@abelchavez2463]

Scott Snyder's Batman is definitely a good place to start reading Batman comics. I know that got me into comics although I'm still lagging behind.

[@sirbooch5179]

Great story! I love the Batman new 52 stories

[@ratedtriplex]

Talon Number Six: Rargh, what is that noise? Batman: Back up Que music and screeching bats

[@if91100]

God damn, I forgot how much I hated that version of Mr. Freeze, like holy shit it's hard to see another downgrade as bad to this character.

[@cuentewthepen2783]

Yoooo this is crazy I just picked this up from my school library

[@TevyaSmolka]

Yeah mr freeze new 52 back story was so bad

[@Gundam_JAY]

Yeah he turned into a bank robber again right?

[@wayneigoe6722]

Can't be much worse than he is now... I mean last I remember reading, he was a NAZI and like SUPER old. He helped develop weapons for nazis, and installed a giant freeze cannon under the harbor that was able to freeze it solid...

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@wayneigoe6722 technically that was set in the white knight universe and honestly was a interesting story but I do understand making him be a actual nazi does sound like a horrible idea.

[@wayneigoe6722]

@@TevyaSmolka White Knight isn't canon?

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@wayneigoe6722 indeed white knight isn't canon which I am all for that because that series is really great.

[@DncesWithWolves]

Holy shit that voice modulation for Owlman was epic. I even rewinded it and read along. I have the entirety of the Scott Snyder New 52 run and Nigh of the owls was definitely 4 completionist. I have to say the lowest point for Scott Snyder's Batman run for me was "Super heavy" when Jim Gordon becomes Batman🤮

[@jonryder7269]

Aw i thought that seemed like a fun one. Im rly sick of his metal/batman stuff at this point Like darkseid batman? Fucking really????? im just sick of it i hope they never revisit the dark multiverse. Owlman is correct they are just bad ideas but he will always come back.

[@John-Doe-Yo]

I thought it was an audio corruption problem mistake I was getting annoyed until I realized it was on purpose lol

[@porro913]

Great job on the story

[@ThreeProphets]

Can you please cover a Daredevil book? I'm not too picky

[@wayneigoe6722]

Fall from Grace would be cool to see him cover. It was a short 5 part miniseries crossover in the 90s.

[@heinz9613]

Long have I waited.....

[@hhgff778]

I wonder if there are certain writers who like giving Batman mech suits or is Batman just secretly a weeb

[@arthuredington6171]

of course he's a weeb

[@Gundam_JAY]

*batman voice* Robin have you seen this really cool movie called Akira it like resonates with me on a spiritual level.

[@alexvalladares1070]

Do a daredevil book or we riot

[@therussiancomicbookgeek]

Love this book

[@andrepaul3483]

Do one for All Star Batman from Scott Snyder.

[@jordanhemmrich]

This is the end of the movie Batman vrs Robin

[@FireUpThatBOI7950]

Please do Batman year one

[@jordanthomas4379]

I read the first 5volumes of this run, the first 3 were great, 4 and 5 were a bit meh.

[@Nono-hk3is]

God I didn't realize it had a brother. Very boring concept, as was most of New 52.

[@smugcat6938]

batman kills so much in this, its weird

[@christianalexander579]

The new 52 was so bad i liked the batman stuff though

[@user-rbyee]
