This was my first Batman graphic novel, ever, and I had so much fun with it! It showed how Bruce became Batman while also having cameos from Harvey Dent + Gordon, and it was just a quick, fun read.
I received an e-ARC from Edelweiss in exchange for an honest review. Review can be found on *Milky Way of Books*Adapted from the acclaimed novel of the same name, the graphic novel follows the story of a teenaged Bruce as he slowly takes his first steps in becoming the crusader of Gotham. If you have read the book you are going to enjoy this one too since the art is stellar with sharp lines and very detailed features. Alfred is still amazing as both a butler and a father figure for Bruce. The gr...
I really enjoyed this graphic novel adaptation, I enjoyed it more than the book it was based on. The art work is great and suits the story perfectly. The black, white and yellow almost animie colour scheme is awsome. It looked a lot like Batman of the Future (Batman Beyond). So much so that a young Bruce Wayne looks a like like Terry Mcginnis. I quite like the modernisation of Batmans origin. The action and fights are done perfectly for where Bruce is in his life. I like the touches like Bruce's...
First of all, Batman should be removed from the title and the book renamed Bruce Wayne: Nightwalker. This Bruce Wayne feels far removed from the traditional character of Bruce Wayne. He's more your typical YA hero. This is definitely a YA book at heart. It focuses way more on the romance than the action in this book. However, it's not nearly as bad in that area as the novel was. I actually liked this better than the book. Wildgoose's art brought this to life more than the novel. I enjoyed the mu...
"The living heart of Gotham City . . . beating, throbbing like a drumbeat in my chest. The place my parents loved. A place worth saving. Worth protecting. A place called home." -- Bruce Wayne, page 200With Batman: Nightwalker - though it should really be titled Bruce Wayne: Nighwalker - the DC Ink imprint finally gets it right this time, especially after I found some of the other recent offerings (featuring interpretations on teenage versions of Raven, Harley Quinn, etc.) rather lackluster. This...
Just this morning I told a fellow GR friend "I don't want to bring down the wrath of Lu's fangirls on myself yet", but now..........I changed my mind:I am so pissed off just by looking at the book's cover. This is not my Batman.Before you say anything about how and why I shouldn't rate a book before it even comes out, hear me out: I'd read the novel this graphic novel is supposed to be based on, and to be honest, that novel is a piece of garbage. Okay, it looks like Marie Lu is gonna do the artw...
While this is cleaner than the prose novel that inspired it--the violence isn't as bloody, and there's little, if any, profanity--this graphic novel could have used some more color. I know Batman/Bruce Wayne is supposed to be The Dark Knight, but, everything being gray, black, or yellow made me feel like I was playing something on the original Game Boy instead of reading a modern comic.
Huge thank you to DC Ink for providing me with a gifted review copy in exchange for an honest review.I was pretty excited when I was approved for this title. I’ve read a few of the other DC Ink graphic novels and enjoyed all of them so much. Batman: Nightwalker was no exception.I went into this with no expectations since I haven’t read the novel this is based on by Marie Lu. The graphic novel did make me intrigued to read the full thing. The art work is perfect as usual. Probably one of my favor...
My parents did not approve of comic books. I wasn't allowed to read 99% of the titles on the shelf at the drug store (the only shop that sold comics in the little town I grew up in). Allowable titles were mostly Disney. Huey, Dewey and Louie are cute....and I loved all the comics I was allowed to read.... but the exciting, more mainstream characters were off limits for me. To this day, I don't really understand why. Superman, Batman and the other superheroes were fighting to save humanity, right...
I received an ARC of Batman: Nightwalker at BookExpo, this in no way impacts my rating. However, my rating is based on an unfinished and uncorrected copy, please note that the story may differ from the final book. The sixth book of my '10 books in 3 weeks' project3.5 stars
I haven't read Marie Lu's book, so I wouldn't be able to compare this novel to it. But, I still thought I should give this a go before getting to the book version. With that being said, just going by other graphic novels I've read pertaining to Batman, this one isn't near being a favorite. But, it didn't mean it wasn't good. There was enough here to keep me entertained, even when there were other parts that didn't really make sense. One of those, had to do with Bruce's community service in Arkha...
5 starsThis book is the graphic novel adaptation of Batman Nightwalker.
To adapt this story into a graphic novel would take two things: stay true to the atmosphere and tell the complete story. Moore and Wildgoose accomplish both these things in stunning fashion. This is not some 80-page highly edited version of Lu’s novel… this is every twist of the plot and every facial expression of these characters in crisis. I love the depiction of Madeleine Wallace in Wildgoose’s artwork. He gets her manipulative nature perfectly.The Nightwalkers graphic novel fleshes out Lu’s
I actually already had Batman: Nightwalker (The Graphic Novel) pre-ordered by the time I was approved for this book, so technically, my review is of the final published product, though thank you NetGalley, Marie Lu, and DC Entertainment for selecting me as one of your readers!I had every intention of buying this book because Marie Lu is my number one favorite author! I have all of her books, including the original novelization of Batman: Nightwalker, though it is the only book of hers I haven’t
I think this worked better for me in this format and i'm glad i picked it up this way, interesting history and it made me have a good time
4 StarsI am pretty new to graphic novels but after reading Marie Lu's book of this story I just knew I had to read this graphic novel too. I felt the story was done well although I felt linger should have been spent on Bruce and Madeline getting to know each other. It felt more natural and realistic in the full length book. The artwork is incredible! So much detail and I loved how it brought the story to life. I look forward to reading the others in this series!
This was amazing! A fresh new take on Bruce and not a Batman origin story.If you’re going to view this Bruce as anything other than a reimagining then you might be disappointed, but if you walk into this with a blank slate you’ll be thoroughly surprised.The characterisations here were great. The chemistry between Madeleine and Bruce, Bruce and Alfred, Bruce and Dianne, Bruce and Richard, etc were very well done.The art was, of course, wonderfully done. The colours really brought the story to lif...
Lately, I have been reading a lot of DC comics and loving it! I love reading graphic novels and comics and use a lot of my Hoopla loans to check out graphic novels and comics throughout the month. I usually read these in between novels or just when I want something short that I can zip through in a few hours tops. I read Batgirl last month and loved it! I also read the new Oracle comic that is coming out (later this month I believe, I will have a post up soon about that as well) and loved that o...
loved the book written by Marie Lu so the graphic version is great too!
