Publisher's Summary
This dark and twisty Batman in the blockbuster DC Icons series is an action-packed thrill ride from number one New York Times best-selling author Marie Lu.
An instant New York Times best seller
Before he was Batman, he was Bruce Wayne. A reckless boy willing to break the rules for a girl who may be his worst enemy.
The Nightwalkers are terrorizing Gotham City, and Bruce Wayne is next on their list. Bruce is turning 18 and inheriting his family's fortune, not to mention the keys to Wayne Industries and all the tech gadgetry that he could ever desire. But on the way home from his birthday party, he makes an impulsive choice that leads to community service at Arkham Asylum, the infamous prison. There, he meets Madeleine Wallace, a brilliant killer with ties to the Nightwalkers. A girl who will speak only to Bruce. She is the mystery he must unravel, but is he convincing her to divulge her secrets, or is he feeding her the information she needs to bring Gotham City to its knees?
Bruce Wayne is proof that you don't need superpowers to be a super hero, but can he survive Madeleine's game of tense intrigue and deception?
"Masterful.... A great story for any Dark Knight fan." (Den of Geek)

not batman
I listened to the hole book. the story was ok. but they could have change their names to redneck names and made no difference. seems like writer slapped batman characters names just to sell copies. this is not a batman story and can barley be called a Bruce Wayne story. nothing other than his wealth stood out as "Batmany"

The narrator ruined the book!
This would have been a good story, but the narrator Wil Damron reading the women’s characters in a laughable “women’s voice” sounded so ridiculous and distracting! I didn’t even want to finish the audible because he made the characters sound like a joke. It’s too bad that he destroyed Marie Lu’s vision. He’s not even a good choice to read young Bruce Wayne. Very annoying and disappointing.

Terrible
This had to be the worst Batman story yet. Even for a new origin story. Bruce Wayne is portrayed as week, dumb and whiny. In no one’s imagination can this Bruce grow up to be the great detective I know and love. I regret ever listening to it.

Before the Bat
I love the Batman story. This is an interesting take on Bruce in a time period we don't often see. The narration is well done, however I wish a male and female could have done the voices together. I don't like when the narrator plays both male and female roles. I find it distracts me.

Phenomenal Story
Honestly I was worried at first, but this book really felt like an alternate “Year: 0” story. It’s gripping, and truly feels canonical to the Bruce Wayne story.
If you enjoy a well detailed, thrilling read, get this book.

Origin
I liked how we were in Bruce’s head. Though the endless amount of dreams and nightmares did get tiresome by the end. I liked the climax of the story but I felt like it too too long to get there, and there wasn’t really enough before it to fill in the gap. I loved the performance, and I found the different voices that Will Danton used to distinguish between Bruce and the other characters and the narration was good. The ultimate bad guy wasn’t expected which was really nice. And the plot twist at the end was also amazing. I would actually love to see a sequel of this one day...

Not for Batman fans
Bruce is so out of character in this story that this could just be about any rich teenager. The plot is so cliche and the characters are completely one dimensional. I was hoping it would be like a long comic, but it's just awful.

This story is just about Bruce Wayne way before he became Batman. I don’t even know why they put Batman on the cover.

5 Stars for Young Bruce Wayne!
Batman is one of my least favorite superheroes. But Marie Lu’s Batman: Nightwalker has changed my mind about the caped crusader. I loved this book!
Why did I love this book?
• Batman: Nightwalker is an interesting glimpse into the teen years of Bruce Wayne. We see his loneliness and isolation due to the death of his parents and his wealth. Everyone befriends him for favors or hate him for his money. But Bruce does have close friends who have become his family – his butler and guardian, Alfred Pennyworth, and childhood friends Harvey Dent and Dianne Garcia. Just like any teenager, Bruce makes impulsive decisions that lands him in trouble with the law. His passion for justice is clear and I got a better understanding of who Bruce Wayne really is. It was fun seeing the early connections he makes with Lucious Fox (CEO of WayneTech) that will ultimately make him into the legendary crime fighter.
• Marie Lu’s writing captured the gloom of the franchise and the story had action and suspense. I also enjoyed her introduction of new characters Dianne Garcia and Madeline Wallace. Both young ladies are of Asian descent, so I appreciate that the author always includes diversity in her writing. Madeline was a fascinating character, with her knowledge of technology and her spot-on perception of people. I was constantly questioning if she was a villain or an ally, which made the story even more interesting.
• Will Damron did a great job narrating this story. I loved his voices for the characters and he brought emotion to the story. He made the actions scenes come to life and even more exciting.
Overall, I thought this was an entertaining addition to the DC Icon series. This is a creative look into the teenage years of Bruce Wayne and has the action and suspense Batman fans will enjoy. I can’t wait to read the next books in this series.

Good until the end...
The ending became more predictable and cliche the more it went and was ultimately not as satisfying or meaningful as it could've been.
The narrator's tone got a little stale and melodramatic in the last half as well, but that may have just been the writing. Not sure.
The first 60% of this book was quite enjoyable, however. I don't agree with every detail of young Bruce Wayne's portrayal but for the most part, it was great to see this side to his character's timeline that we often don't get to see (18 years old). I personally don't mind the lack of Batman at all but I know others might.
Bottom line, if you want a 'Batman' book, look away. If you want/are interested in Bruce Wayne, this can be pretty interesting up to a point. I wouldn't spend money, but maybe a credit if you have a few to spare.

SJW Preaching under a Batman Mask
The not so subtle SJW messages really take away from the story. Yes it is terrible that women get cat called, but I don't need a chapter about it in a Batman story.

A Great Detective Story!
This was a slow burn but that's not a bad thing here. The story continues to build on itself, giving some great insight into what made Bruce Wayne morph eventually into The Dark Knight. The perspective of the story is perhaps the single greatest strength and makes it so engaging. The antagonist is probably one of the strongest of the entire DC stable. This book is so worth the price.
