       I absolutely love this book. The main reason why I was even
       interested in the relaunch of Batman and the New 52 Line was
       superstar artist Greg Capullo getting to flex his artistic
       muscle on a Batman title. Unfortunately I just couldn't stick
       with the original comic book releases. Money, time and a host of
       other things got in the way and the book was eventually dropped
       after just 2 issues. That brings me to Batman, Vol. 1: The Court
       of Owls which collects Issues #1-7 in a nice hardcover edition.
       The art delivers. But more than that, the story is very
       compelling and fresh with a twist at the end that I didn't see
       coming. The one thing that was going through my head while
       reading this is "when can they make a movie of this"? I'm pretty
       sure that both Snyder and Capullo had a film version of this in
       mind when putting it together. This arc is very cinematic and
       would make an awesome film. So, with such glowing  reviews for
       this, why is this only getting 4 Stars then? The ending leaves
       you hanging like an executioner's wet dream. It ends on such a
       major cliffhanger that anyone that reads this will certainly be
       disappointed that a book that "collects" the entire story
       doesn't get an immediate resolution. Normally I would snap this
       book up as a Buy. But you and I both know that DC will release a
       much larger Collection, most likely an Absolute Edition that
       will carry the entire arc to its completion, which is a book
       that I will definitely pick up for my own personal library
       collection. As for Volume #1, this is just a Rent. Save your
       money for the book we all know will eventually be released.

       The clip dives into the creation of their latest Batman story
       and has nothing to do with Court of Owls. Didn't feel like it
       warranted a new thread since it's still the two creative minds
       behind this.
