Bruce Wayne is 15 and is fixing up his father's favorite car before his 16th birthday. At the junkyard searching for parts he stumbles across car thieves. With his new friends he decides to shut them down.
I loved this book. It is not true to Batman cannon but the story is great and I didn't mind it. I love the little hints to cannon hat were in the story. It is a Bruce Wayne story of him as a teenager.
The art was very simple, but it worked for the YA format. My students will love having this book in the classroom I can't wait to get my copy.

Thank you to NetGalley for a free review copy of this.
This is a great introduction to the Batman lore if someone is unfamiliar with it. This would be a great jumping off point for kids to get started reading Batman if they've never read it before. I really liked the dynamic between Bruce, Selina, and Mateo. They all had something different to bring to the friendship and they meshed well with each other. I also enjoyed the storyline. It flowed nicely but not everything was wrapped up in a bow at the end of the story. I think that this book is a great start if you have a kid in your life that wants to get into comics but is daunted by everything that's out there. Highly recommend this for that reason alone, but it is also a great comic.

3.5. I think it's a fun enough intro story for those not already familiar with Batman's beginnings, if a little simplistic. Felt like it would appeal more towards younger readers than tweens or teens. I liked seeing Bruce with actual friends and I always love to see him getting along with Alfred.
