Batman: Nightwalker
by Marie Lu
Honestly, this book needs more credit than reviews have been giving it. Sure, it probably won’t become a literary classic or whatever, but Batman: Nightwalker was a fun romp through Gotham City that I devoured within a few days.
It might be that this book hit all the right notes for me. Bruce was a good, solid protagonist. While eighteen-year-old Bruce Wayne is lighter than the hardened Batman, he also had just the right amount of brooding to hint at the superhero he would eventually become. Madeleine may not be Selina Kyle, but she was a good substitute, and I adored her not quite enemies/not quite friends/not quite lovers dynamic with Bruce. I like where they ended off on the book. It even touched upon white privilege and how damaging the US capitalist system can be, which I am here for. Either way, I really enjoyed this little superhero flick and I’m excited to read the other books in the DC Icons series.
