After the cliffhanger we got in Batman issue 3 I could not wait to get my hands on issue 4. This issue starts straight where the last issue ended in an explosion in old Wayne Tower with batman right in the middle of it and in the middle of finding out more about the court of owls. As you know batman survived and went back to the batcave to stitch up and continue his investigation. Just when you thought this series cant get any better it brings you into batman/Bruce's past and we find out that he has always suspected the court of owls where behind murders in Gotham even to go as far as to think they where involved in his parents deaths. We cut to a flash back of Bruce as a young boy, as he puts it, going on his first investigation trying to find out who or what the court of owls is. This leads him to becoming trapped for days before being rescued thus giving him his first taste of survival skills.
The Good: This issue sacrifice's action for story and this is a damn good choice, by the end of the issue it leaves you wanting to now more and you know how batman feels at this stage as its not about fighting the villain its about finding out who they are and their motive and to learn more about Bruce Wayne's past is always a welcome in the series. Again the artwork and writing are the best out of the DC reboot, Scott Snyder seams to be bringing his A game with each issue.
The Bad: Honestly there is nothing bad I can say about this issue it is the best in the series so far and if there is something that you felt was out of place please comment on it.
The Verdict: Amazing! this is one of the best stories around and not just in the batman comics but of all of DC's New 52 i strongly recommend this to anyone who loves batman or hell anyone who loves comics and a good story in general!.
