    • Je tomu již osm let, co se Batman vytratil do noci a z hrdiny se změnil v uprchlíka. Tím, že na něj padla vina za smrt Harveyho Denta, obětoval temný rytíř všechno pro to, co společně s komisařem Gordonem považoval za vyšší dobro. A na čas tato lež skutečně zabírala, když byla kriminální aktivita v Gothamu rozdrcena silou Dentova odkazu. Všechno se ale mění s příchodem prohnané zlodějky a jejích tajemných zájmů. Avšak ještě daleko nebezpečnější je nástup Banea, maskovaného teroristy, jehož nelítostný plán proti Gothamu vyžene Bruce Wayna z jeho dobrovolného exilu. Avšak ani pokud si znovu nasadí svou masku a temnou kápi, nemusejí jeho síly proti Baneovi stačit… Oficiální novelizace posledního dílu jedné z neúspěšnějších filmových sérií všech dob je stejně fascinující jako samotný snímek a navíc přináší řadu scén, které na plátně neuvidíte.

      An original novel pitting Batman against the Court of Owls, a secret society of wealthy families that's controlled Gotham for centuries using murder and money. For generations, an apocryphal cabal has controlled Gotham from the shadows, wielding fear and violence through its undead assassins, the Talons. THE COURT OF OWLS. Dating back centuries, its leaders are men and women of wealth and influence who meet in secrecy, hiding their identities behind stark white masks. Employing science and alchemy, they sought to kill Bruce Wayne who, as Batman, dealt them their greatest defeats. Even then they faded back into the darkness, and he could not eliminate them entirely. Now, Gotham City is plagued with a series of brutal murders in which mutilated bodies are burned almost beyond recognition. Batman and his allies--including Nightwing and Batgirl--quickly realize that the Talons have returned, yet the reason for the killings remains tauntingly unknown. As the heroes seek answers, their path stretches back more than a century. Should the Owls obtain what they seek, it could grant them power that no one could counter. With each moment that passes, more victims appear. Batman must stop the Talons before they kill again.
