Re: Comic Book Fans...

I haven't read Court of Owls, but it seems very much 'nu-Batman'. By that I mean I feel like Batman comics started changing several years ago, with writers like Grant Morrison and Scott Snyder, where the comics have a lot more of an emphasis on new characters, grittiness, violence, less straight forward plots, and downer endings. I personally don't like the change (can you tell?), but if that sounds fine to you, then give it a try. I know a lot of people liked Court of Owls, and I'm assuming it was good.

Hmmmm. IDK. I don't like "gritty & edgy for the sake of it". The kind of thing where the writers are like: "LOOK HOW ADULT AND CYNICAL WE ARE!" and it just comes off as deeply immature.

I do think Gotham City & Batman lends itself well to sort of... dramatic, enjoyable gothic-ness. Darkness and tragedy, with a bit of humour to lighten things up, that doesn't take itself too seriously. I enjoyed the Tim Burton interpretation of Gotham, and the cartoons.

I personally do feel like Batman comics have become that 'gritty and edgy for the sake of it'. Everything seems so miserable right now. I blame it all on Grant Morrison (and Frank Miller. And Christopher Nolan.). Again, I haven't read Court of Owls, but I did read Scott Snyder's Batman stuff he wrote just before the reboot, and it was heading in that direction.
If you like Burton and the cartoons, maybe try getting into Batman with another graphic novel? But if you are looking to get into nu52 Batman comics, Court of Owls would still be a good choice.
