Another good adaptation of the book from the DC Icons series. I have to say, I prefer the illustration style in this graphic novel over Wonder Woman: Warbringer. The story flowed better as well.

I thoroughly enjoyed this one! If you know the DC universe, there are lots of characters you'll recognize that aren't primary ones. The use of color is interesting. Overall, a very good story and reading experience!

Batman: Nightwalker (The Graphic Novel) begins with a young Bruce Wayne inheriting the fortune of his deceased parents. At the same time, a criminal group called The Nightwalkers is menacing the wealthy citizens of Gotham. As he travels through the city, Wayne observes police cars in pursuit. He follows them and realizes that The Nightwalkers are going to get away, so he intervenes. The police do not view Wayne's participation in the capture of The Nightwalkers positively and Wayne is sentenced to spend the summer doing community service at Arkham Asylum. At Arkham, Bruce Wayne meets one of The Nightwalkers that was arrested, Madeline. Wayne believes that there is more to Madeline than her criminal past and he conducts an investigation of his own to discover who she really is.

The illustrations add to the graphic novel by portraying the emotions of the characters effectively. The majority of the illustrations are done in black in white, but the occasional yellow serves to highlight especially climatic scenes. The graphic novel is filled with action and fans of the DC Icons series will enjoy this book as well. It was an interesting portrayal of the beginning of the journey Bruce Wayne takes toward becoming Batman.

Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher I was able to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Batman: Nightwalker is a graphic adaptation of the book with the same name by Marie Lu.
It was a fun ride with teenaged Bruce struggling to understand what he wants out of life and where he wants to go in it. With best friends Dianne and Harvey, as well as the constant Alfred, Bruce is in a good place for this.
On Bruce’s 18th birthday he gets into trouble interfering with a police chase and has to serve community service at Arkham Asylum where he meets Madeleine, a member of the infamous Nightwalker’s, who starts to talk to him. Is Bruce getting the truth or lies from her? He’s going to have to figure it out quick because the Nightwalkers are escalating and Bruce Wayne may not be safe from their list.
