The young man called Bruce Wayne is a very noticeable one – he can hardly go anywhere without people – bystanders, paparazzi, and suchlike – reminding him he's a billionaire at the age of eighteen. Feeling rather stuck with the legacy he's inherited from his murdered parents, he wants to do charitable deeds. But one night, when he speeds off in his posh new car in pursuit of a criminal, he goes too far as far as the authorities are concerned, and gets given the most unlikely stretch of community service instead – cleaning in the home for violent criminals that is Arkham Asylum. There he learns of some other people who also allege charitable intent – the Nightwalkers, a gang who steal any ten-figure bank account contents they can, and murder the owner. Can he get close to one of them and get the truth of their schemes, or will the manipulative Madeleine be a step too far for the young do-gooder?
Yes, despite this being set very much in the modern day (hi| style="vertical-tech here and there, HUDs in cars, Robocopalign: top; text-styled police robots) this is Bruce Wayne before he trains himself up to become align: left;"|===[[Batman. : Nightwalker: The story then doesn't feature any of the typical villains of his world – or at least not as villains.

Perfect, then, for this story – once a full prose novel – to be included in the growing teen-friendly DC Ink line.Chris Wildgoose]]===
Once again they have a great visual aesthetic, much in contrast with many of the allegedly more adult titles from the parent company[[image:4star.

The art is fine – while it doesn't have that many action scenes to contend with, everything is fluid, well directed and appealing.[[:Category:Graphic Novels|Graphic Novels]]
And the story The young man called Bruce Wayne is finea very noticeable one – he can hardly go anywhere without people – bystanders, if it does try to twist paparazzi, and suchlike – reminding him he's a billionaire at the age of eighteen. Feeling rather stuck with the legacy he'is she good or bad' thread until it almost snaps more than onces inherited from his murdered parents, he wants to do charitable deeds. Thinking about it But one night, I can't remember when he speeds off in his posh new car in pursuit of a comic book franchise that has really shone in full-length prosecriminal, and while I don't know he goes too far as far as the original novel authorities are concerned here, it's at least provided and gets given the most unlikely stretch of community service instead – cleaning in the home for a comic violent criminals that feels a natural fit for the format – not too bloated or wordy, nor too heavily truncatedis Arkham Asylum. You could see a version There he learns of this where it's played more broadly some other people who also allege charitable intent – the yin Nightwalkers, a gang who steal any ten-figure bank account contents they can, and yang murder the owner. Can he get close to one of Bruce them and get the truth of their schemes, or will the manipulative Madeleine made blatant to all.

I must thank the publishers for my review copy.
 
We encountered the original source for this with her novel [[Legend by Marie Lu]]. If you have an adult knowledge of Batman – something this DC Ink line is designed to let you do without – you might well already have your hands on [[Batman: Dark Knight III: The Master Race by Frank Miller and Brian Azzarello]].
