Our “Best of 2012” series continues as we visit DC’s Nu52 Batman in “Court of Owls” by Scott Snyder. A massive organization of Gotham’s elite has been secretly controlling the city for hundreds of years, only Bruce Wayne never knew about it because he wasn’t invited. And it’s okay, because he totally investigated it when he was like 11, so there’s no way it doesn’t exist. We talk about the awkward plot holes, the creepiness of the court, and rage Dick.

We wrap up our Gail Simone series by reading the title she’s most notable for, “Birds of Prey.” The first volume, “Of Like Minds” drawn by Ed Benes and Alex Lei introduces us to an intriguing villain duo and introduces the Huntress to the Birds of Prey team. We dig into the great interpersonal character work that’s Simone’s forte and we mull over the choices Oracle and Canary find themselves making. Also, is it just us, or is the Huntress’ booty all over every page possible? Hooray, cheesecake! For more information on past or future episodes, visit www.AtomicPoweredSuperCast.com!
