Of the many writers who have written tales of the Dark Knight over the past 15 years, few if any have left their mark as much as Scott Snyder. Creator of the Court of Owls, with an impressive 52 issue run on Batman proper, not counting many other series and mini-series, Snyder explores the fears of modern society, and specifically his own, in his writing. This week, it’s time to read three stories written or plotted by Snyder, and see how fear and history tie into the heart of Gotham and Batman
- The Court of Owls (Batman V.2 #1-11)
- Batman: The Gates of Gotham #1-5
- My Own Worst Enemy (All-Star Batman #1-5)
Be sure to check out this week’s BatChat column, where we look at Detective Comics #1,068, Batman: One Bad Day-Catwoman and Nightwing #100.
