Episode 196. We read the Batman story Court of Owls, by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo. This was the start of Batman's New 52 storyline, and it's a great place to jump in for new readers! Gotham City has long heard of the Court of Owls, a secret elite council who controls the city through its assassin called Talon, but most people believe it's just a ghost story. Batman himself investigated it and found nothing. But when he's attacked and thrown into a mysterious underground maze, jeered on by figures in owl masks, he realizes that Gotham City has secrets that even its greatest protector could never understand.
