Batman: Nightwalker (the Graphic Novel) by Marie Lu

4.0

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.
