Batman: Nightwalker
by Marie Lu
This book was pleasantly surprise. I didn’t expect to find a Batman origin story compelling or unique, but this one managed to be both. I loved seeing a teen Bruce Wayne who behaves like a Robin without an experienced superhero to guide him. I also loved how the story is very critical of Bruce’s wealth and privilege, teaching him that if he really wants to help Gotham he’ll need to do more than drive a fast tech car or fight poor grunts.
My one criticism is the apparent “romance,” which had 0 chemistry—the other characters act like their romantic feelings are so obvious, even though they just acted, I don’t know, respectful towards each other? I didn’t hate the pairing, I just wish that attraction was shown rather than told.
