A shadow war engulfs Gotham as the Court of Owls unleashes its army across every corner of the city. This definitive compendium unites the influential story in full, for the first time!
The Court of Owls has ruled Gotham from the shadows for centuries—and now their Talons take flight. As Batman confronts the truth about the city’s hidden history, every hero in Gotham is dragged into a coordinated assault that strikes at the heart of the Bat-family. From back-alleys to high-rises, from ancient conspiracies to airborne terror, the city becomes a battlefield where no one fights alone.
This Compendium collects the entire Night of the Owls event—spanning Batman, Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, Batwing, Birds of Prey, Batman and Robin, Detective Comics, The Dark Knight, All-Star Western, and more—bringing together the work of Scott Snyder (Batman), Peter J. Tomasi (Batman and Robin), JH Williams III (Batwoman), Jimmy Palmiotti & Justin Gray (All-Star Western), and the many architects of Gotham’s new mythology. This is the complete chronicle of the Court of Owls epic, which stands as one of the most influential Batman stories of the modern era.
