In my opinion, it was a pretty poorly handled crossover event and the Owls didn’t have a clear motivation or a very good plan. You know a crossover tie-in is good when the participating title names its second volume after the event! The bulk of the material found in the hardcover Batman: Night of the Owls isn’t all that great. There will be some spoilers regarding the previous arc. Note: Don’t read this review if you plan on reading Volume 1. 2: Night of the Owls is a soft cover that includes issues #8-12 and the Zero issue that details Dick Grayson’s new and far more condensed origin story. All of that together makes for a pretty fulfilling collection of Dick Grayson stories. This volume still requires you know a bit about The Court of Owls, but rewards you for your effort with the best Night of Owls tie-in as well as two extra adventures. The first volume of the New 52 Nightwing’s adventures relied pretty heavily on readers knowing all about the Court of Owls storyline going on in Batman.
