First， Goodreads list this as a 900-page book。 It is well over 1，000 pages。The stories here comprise three major arcs written by Scott Snyder and penciled by Greg Capullo。 They are The Court of Owls， Death of the Family， and Zero Year。 The Court of Owls is a spectacular arc that delves into a dark Illuminati-like cabal that has been secretly running Gotham since the colonial era。 It is unique and full of conspiracies and turns of twists。 How it ends， though is a bit of a let-down for me anyway。D First， Goodreads list this as a 900-page book。 It is well over 1，000 pages。The stories here comprise three major arcs written by Scott Snyder and penciled by Greg Capullo。 They are The Court of Owls， Death of the Family， and Zero Year。 The Court of Owls is a spectacular arc that delves into a dark Illuminati-like cabal that has been secretly running Gotham since the colonial era。 It is unique and full of conspiracies and turns of twists。 How it ends， though is a bit of a let-down for me anyway。Death of the Family sees a major Joker storyline that pushes Batman and the entire Batman family to a breaking point and has Joker at one of his most twisted， murderous， and evil。 Some of it does cross over into other titles， and unfortunately， they are not included in this omnibus。 So there are going to be some minor plot points and that may be perplexing if you don't have those other comics to read。 Zero Year takes us back to a much earlier period in the Dark Knight's adventures。 Before he was Batman， Bruce Wayne was just dipping his feet into the vigilante waters。 So it is very early in his career。 I'm not sure if it just skirts around the events of Frank Miller's classic Year One story or just ignores it altogether。 These days， I just go with comic book history for eras since history， especially DC history， is rebooted so often。 Though it is probably the weakest of the three major arcs， being divided into three mini-arcs itself， there are some memorable highlights。 Kar Hellfern， Doctor Death， is a monster horror-level character in these stories。 Edward Nygma， the Riddler is quite an interesting character， and also quite annoying。 But there are just a few leaps in logic here that are Dark Knight Returns level。 Scott Snyder's writing is generally tight with a deep examination of Bruce Wayne and how he feels about Gotham beyond just aking up for the deaths of his parents。 Greg Capullo's art is spectacular and really captures much of the noirish aspects of Gotham。 And it seems the team is really at home making the reader cringe at some of the horrific aspects of their stories。 Now that is a good thing as these are dark stories。Overall it's a great read and run and the final issue in this omnibus sets up the 52-issue weekly run of Batman Eternal which is collected in its own omnibus。 。。。more

Per la prima volta leggo finalmente un fumetto in lingua originale。Le tre saghe presenti in questo volume， di più di 1000 pagine， mi hanno emozionato per una estate intera， una lettura di altissima qualità che non teme paragoni anche con le più famose graphic novel。Omnibus consigliato a chiunque， sia ai neofiti che agli esperti。

One of the better batman runs but doesn’t include ANY crossover issues outside of batman so I read companion event books alongside。A few iconic stories here but I think reading this through has shown me I’m a much bigger fan of the bat family than of bruce/batman and his solo focused stories although fun， get very repetitive。I would give it 3。5 overall， not quite a 4 but still way better than Kings run。

The Court of Owls， Death of the Family and Zero Year， which constitute a majority of the content collected here， are perhaps my favorite Batman stories and deserve 5 stars in their own right but there is something lost in reading this modern classics in a giant brick。 For archival purposes this collection is great as it collects the shorter arcs and one-offs that were released between the three aforementioned arcs， but as a format for reading any of those fantastic stories it’s unwieldy。 The thr The Court of Owls， Death of the Family and Zero Year， which constitute a majority of the content collected here， are perhaps my favorite Batman stories and deserve 5 stars in their own right but there is something lost in reading this modern classics in a giant brick。 For archival purposes this collection is great as it collects the shorter arcs and one-offs that were released between the three aforementioned arcs， but as a format for reading any of those fantastic stories it’s unwieldy。 The three major arcs here are epics in their own right and having them in one brick of a book is sort of lining owning three of your all time favorite films as a single non-stop video。 If you’re looking to read Snyder and Capullo’s A+ run on Batman in its entirety this collection and its presumed but as yet unannounced follow-up are probably the way to go， but to drop in on any of the individual arcs I’d recommend checking out the slimmer trades， which you will be able to read in bed without fear of bashing your face with a brick of comics when you get sleepy。 。。。more

Enjoyed this book。 Court of Owls is a high point。 Death of the Family is good。 Zero Year was my least favorite。 Capullo’s artwork is stunning across the board。 Worth the read。

In my eyes this is the definitive Batman run。 This edition collects half of Snyder and Capullos run。 Each story is even more thrilling and interesting the more times you read them

I’ve read just about every bit of Batman content you could get your hands on， and Snyder & Capullo’s run on Batman is easily my favourite stretch of any creative team。 It’s weirdly satisfying o see this hopeful， optimistic hyper capable take on Batman that still manages to （more often than not） absolutely drip with tension as a horror story （with the exception of the swashbuckling Zero Year）Love this run and the Omnibus is totally the best way to consume it all。 Cannot wait for vol。 2 to finally I’ve read just about every bit of Batman content you could get your hands on， and Snyder & Capullo’s run on Batman is easily my favourite stretch of any creative team。 It’s weirdly satisfying o see this hopeful， optimistic hyper capable take on Batman that still manages to （more often than not） absolutely drip with tension as a horror story （with the exception of the swashbuckling Zero Year）Love this run and the Omnibus is totally the best way to consume it all。 Cannot wait for vol。 2 to finally grace my bookshelf 。。。more
