Batman #3
Writer: Scott Snyder
Pencils: Greg Capullo
Inks: Jonathan Glapion
Taken on its own, if you told me that Batman would be facing the Court of Owls in this reboot, I would laugh outright into your face. But give it to Scott Snyder to prevent that laughter from coming.
The biggest thing that Snyder has going for him is that he is building this huge mystery around the villain that we are slowly learning. He is also tying them into Gotham's history. While the description could get wordy, every word is needed to develop this character. Snyder has this talent to give you as much information and background as needed, but it still leaves you guessing as to what the bigger mystery and story is all about.
And when the art needs to shine, it does so with such smoothness to it that doesn't drag you out of the story, but still reminds you that you are reading a comic book. Much like how Batman and Robin focuses on Robin, this book seems to focus on Gotham City. Its a perfect fitting in this book.
I honestly don't know if I could give a detailed enough review of the story to give it justice. I just don't have the space here that I would need nor do I have the time to write it. Maybe that will be done when I read all three issues at once. I can only imagine the way that it would read when consumed all at once.
Words: 10/10
Pictures: 9/10
Recommend: Get it now. Much better than Detective, and only a hair above Batman and Robin.
Buy Next Issue: I should take this part out of the review when the first three are so positive. AS if you couldn't tell already.
