This May will feature the first major crossover event of the DCnU in the Batman titles, "Night of the Owls." The Court of Owls has begun its takeover of Gotham, and Batman and his partners will be affected by what happens next.
From what I've read, you won't have to read every book to get the whole story. It's a pick-and-choose kinda thing. Also, Detective Comics and Batwoman won't be involved.
April will feature lead-ins/prologues to the event in the following three books:
BATMAN #8
Written by SCOTT SNYDER
Backup story written by SCOTT SNYDER and JAMES TYNION IV
Art by GREG CAPULLO and JONATHAN GLAPION
Backup story art by RAFAEL ALBUQUERQUE

1:200 B&W Variant cover by GREG CAPULLO

Combo pack edition: $4.99 US
Broken and beaten, Bruce Wayne has retreated from Gotham City – the city of Owls – to Wayne Manor. But no place is safe, because the Court is about to strike at the heart of city, and nothing will ever be the same. Be there for the start of the battle for Gotham City’s soul…and the prelude to “The Night of the Owls.”
And in the first chapter of a new backup story, learn the secret history of The Court of Owls – as well as the secrets of Gotham City and the Wayne family!
This issue is also offered as a special combo pack edition, polybagged with a redemption code for a digital download of this issue.
RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #8
Written by SCOTT LOBDELL
Art and cover by KENNETH ROCAFORT
On sale APRIL 18 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T
Suzie Su is back, and she’s betting a hospital full of hostages will get Red Hood’s attention! If that isn’t enough to keep him and the Outlaws busy, there’s someone waiting in the wings! It’s Tim Drake knocking on Red Hood’s door with a very special package for his estranged “brother.” Don’t miss Red Robin’s cameo this issue, as it ties directly into next month’s “Night of the Owls” Batman event!
NIGHTWING #8
Written by KYLE HIGGINS
Art by EDDY BARROWS, RUY JOSE and EBER FERREIRA
Cover by EDDY BARROWS
On sale APRIL 18 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T
A lead-in to next month’s thrilling “Night of the Owls” Batman event! With the Owls descending upon Gotham City, the fate of the city’s leader rests on the shoulders of Nightwing! But as our hero embarks on a mission to rescue Mayor Hady, just how do Cameron Kane and turn-ofthe-century Gotham City factor in? Plus: the untold story of William Cobb – the Talon who’s hunting Bruce Wayne!
Being that this is the first Batman event since the reboot, I'm looking forward to it and hope it's good. I think I may get all the issues.
