Batman: Overdrive by Shea Fontana
Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for an advance copy of this title in exchange for an honest review.
So, I'm kind of a huge Batman fan, not necessarily the movies but for sure the comics and graphic novels. I love this iteration of the Caped Crusader, a teenage Bruce who is yearning for freedom and of course justice for his parent's untimely deaths. When we meet Bruce he is take martial arts classes downtown and trying to escape Alfred's watchful eye, all while dealing out his own sort of justice on the bullies of the neighborhood. As Bruce approaches his 17th birthday, we watch him make friends with Mateo Diaz and Selena Kyle while restoring his dad's old Crusader. Of course we know Kyle as the eventual Catwoman but we get a new spin on her backstory and it's interesting to see the friendship forming between her and Bruce.
Overall, I think this book will appeal to any fans of superheroes or the DC universe, as well as avid graphic novel fans who are looking for adventure in their next read.
