Batman: The Court of Owls (USA) di Scott Snyder & Greg Capullo

[Deviltonio]

Ciao a tutti sono nuovo volevo sapere se trovate questa serie fantastica come le prime recensioni facevano sperare.... E dato che non volevo scoprire niente della trama ho pensato di chiedere a voi:)

[Buddy Baker]

E' sicuramente una delle migliori serie del reboot

If there's one thing that I've taken away from Snyder's run so far, is that he's created a new type of opposition for Batman to fight. This villain isn't crazy like the Joker, or has some sort of theme and full of camp. No, what Snyder has done here is essentially turned Gotham City against Batman. The Court of Owls have their dug their metaphorical talons into the heart and veins of the city, giving Batman very little places to hide and formulate his next move.

The start of the issue is probably the strongest we've seen yet, with an owl catching the bat that gave Bruce his identity, and devouring it whole. Simply put, these Owls aren't here to mess around. Snyder continues to deepen the Court's lineage to Gotham, and by revealing that Nightwing himself could have been in their service, it just shows how long they've really been around. Though, I do think it's a little too convenient of Dick's should-be position in the Court, the fact that it hits that close to home for Bruce really gets the message across. Here also, we see that the Court has really messed with Bruce's already torn psyche. The mere sight of a man in the Owl armor gives him a panic attack. We haven't seen Batman this vulnerable in quite sometime. The last page confirms that the owls are not just a cult, but a civilization ready to prey on the city and possibly the world.

Greg Capullo has really been knocking it out these past few issues, but here I don't find the inks as consistent. Jonathan Glapion has done a great job adding weight to Capullo's pencils. Not overshadowing the pages and panels, and giving room for the colors. I think the facial constructs are a bit off, but nothing horrific that knocks you out of the story. The rest of the visuals move with a certain level of energy that keep your eyes peeled to the pages and it really soars. The great lengths of detail that go into each brick of the sewer or the feathering on the owl are just really tight.

Batman #7 is a strong enough issue that showcases properly the Court as a legitimate threat without repeating what's already been said. It's the perfect calm before the storm With the Bat-verse leading DC's first major cross-over, it's going to be a wild ride and I'm holding on the best way I can.

Credete che faranno anche un HC contenente tutti i numeri #8-#9 delle serie coinvolte?

E' possibile

A me paradossalmente dispiace che Batwoman (ma era prevedibile) non sia coinvolta nella vicenda, dato che mi piacerebbe vederla più all'interno delle dinamiche della bat-famiglia.

Magari ne faranno due visto che a leggere quel manifesto saranno 12 gli albi coinvolti

A meno che non si scopra a fine cross-over che dietro la setta dei gufi c'è proprio lei

Comunque dispiace anche a me, in un certo senso.

Caspita, sai che roba? 
Il personaggio più o meno è sempre stato "a parte" rispetto al resto, quindi non cambia nulla.. però, per dire, vederla agire con risolutezza in Batman Inc. è stato bellissimo, e vorrei davvero ammirarla in squadra con Batman. Del resto io amo questo della family.. il confronto fra gli alleati e Bruce.
