The majority of the characters in the book were created by created by Marie Lu, aside from of course Bruce, Alfred (Bruce’s guardian/ head of the Wayne estate/ sidekick/ MOST CARING, CUTEST MAN), Lucius Fox, who works for Wayne Tech, and Bruce’s friend, Harvey (who I did not know was actually from the DC world until after I finished reading). My main point that I want to stress about Batman: Nightwalker is that you do not need to be any sort of Batman or DC fan to understand the novel. If I have the opportunity to go to another Marie Lu signing or if I find a signed copy at the bookstore (I’ve seen a few float around Instagram), I’ll be adding it to my personal collection because I ADORED Batman: Nightwalker. Since I’m not the biggest Batman fan, I actually didn’t buy my own copy of the book, choosing to borrow it from the library. So why did I pick up Batman: Nightwalker?īECAUSE IT’S WRITTEN BY MARIE LU, AUTHOR OF WARCROSS AND THE LEGEND TRILOGY AKA SOME OF ALL-TIME FAVORITE BOOKS NOT TO MENTION MY ALL-TIME FAVORITE AUTHOR. I’ve seen bits and pieces of The Dark Knight trilogy (my philosophy teacher was really into using film to display different philosophical structures), and I think the most Batman I’ve ever experienced is watching The Lego Movie. Let’s start off this review with a mini confessional and intro: Hi, my name is Haley of Fangirl Fury, and I am here to admit that I know next to nothing about Batman, but I decided to read a book about Batman. Bruce must unravel the mystery that is Madeleine and decide if her words speak the truth or are leading him to hurt Gotham City himself.

The most intriguing person involved is Arkham’s youngest inmate, Madeleine, a brilliant girl tied to the Nightwalkers, who will only speak to Bruce. But when an impulsive decision leads to five weeks of community service at Arkham Asylum, the home of Gotham City’s worst criminals, he finds himself investigating the Nightwalkers, the infamous group of criminals attacking the city’s wealthiest citizens. Summary: Eighteen-year old Bruce Wayne is ready to spend the summer with his best friends before heading off to college and officially inherit his family fortune, including Wayne Industries.
