So with the effects from the events of Flashpoint reverberating throughout the DC Universe, almost all DC titles have been revamped. Since September 2011, 52 DC titles have been relaunched and as expected, The Dark Knight has been given uber status among the rest. Having 3 title under his "wing", and numerous others connected to him, DC has relaunched Batman through Batman (New 52), Batman: The Dark Knight (New 52) and Detective Comics (New 52).
I finally caught up with my reading and I must say the Batman series is looking very very good. At the start of the series, we are being re-introduced to the Dark Knight and his realm, Gotham City. And to start off, we are being introduced to a story that goes deeper to the roots of the Batman and Gotham City. Scott Snyder creates a very good flow of events that lead us to the Court of Owls, an organization that has been controlling Gotham City and its denizens for centuries. As Batman investigates deeper, he realizes that he is uncovering truths that have been kept secret right under his nose. The Owls are real, and they are ready to make their move. This will lead into the first cross-over from DC for 2012: "The Night of The Owls", and it looks killer!!!
