I read “Wonder Woman: Warbringer” by Leigh Bardugo last fall, and was very excited to see what the next in the series had to offer. So you KNOW that I was all about reading “Batman: Nightwalker” by Marie Lu, the second book in the “DC Icons” young adult series. These books tend to take the teenage selves of these superheroes/heroines and give them something of an origin story, or at the very least an early foray into their ultimate heroic destines. Oh and who could forget this fella? ( source) from “Heathers”, Kylo Ren, and Bobby Briggs. What can I say? I am a true, true sucker for the emotionally unstable messed up problematic loner guy in my fiction. I will openly concede that I love him, darkness and all. But I do have to admit that even though I want to smack Batman upside the head a lot of the time, especially in his most recent iterations and interpretations, there is a very special place in my heart for him. And we were solidly Team Superman in the most recent DC movies that involved him. Review: Now it is very true that both Serena and I are big Superman fans here, willing to stand for him and stand up to anyone who would wish him ill or call him anything less than great. But is he getting her to divulge her secrets, or is he feeding her the information she needs to bring Gotham City to its knees? Bruce will walk the dark line between trust and betrayal as the Nightwalkers circle closer. What is she hiding? And why will she speak only to Bruce? Madeleine is the mystery Bruce must unravel. In Arkham, Bruce meets Madeleine, a brilliant girl with ties to the Nightwalkers. But after a run-in with the police, he’s forced to do community service at Arkham Asylum, the infamous prison that holds the city’s most brutal criminals.

Meanwhile, Bruce is turning eighteen and about to inherit his family’s fortune, not to mention the keys to Wayne Enterprises and all the tech gadgetry his heart could ever desire. One by one, the city’s elites are being executed as their mansions’ security systems turn against them, trapping them like prey. The Nightwalkers are terrorizing Gotham City, and Bruce Wayne is next on their list. A reckless boy willing to break the rules for a girl who may be his worst enemy.
