The second set of New-52 Batman 'Owls' stories (after [b:Batman, Vol. 1: The Court of Owls|13223349|Batman, Vol. 1 The Court of Owls|Scott Snyder|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1342307351s/13223349.jpg|18412501], this is a more a collection of (Court of) Owl-related, stories rather than a direct continuation of the story in that previous collection. Well, that is, after the first entry or so, that sees the Court's undead assassin's (or Talon's) attacking Wayne Manor ...

As expected, and as a compilation, some of the stories contained herein are better than others: it's also interesting to see a different take on some of the villain and previously side-characters than, perhaps, they had been given before - I'm thinking, in particular, of Alfred Pennyworth, and of Viktor Fries.

Pre punk to post punk

As a lover of Punk it was only a matter of time before I watched this and it felt like a compilation album with extended talking in between. Loosely based on Hilly Crystal the owner of CBGS's in New York and the place where punk was formed.

There are appearances from Television, Talking Heads, The Ramones, The Dead Boys and it shows that Blondies did have more fun. The story is nothing too taxing and it's weaved round the music. Some famous faces and a Harry Potter characters bare bum as he proves his natural hair colour out of the cameras beady eye.

So if you like Punk, bare bums and don't mind a young Sting then this could help your life in a small way
