Batman: Nightwalker
DC Icons #2
Batman: Nightwalker (2018)
Bruce Wayne is eighteen, newly in control of his future, and still years away from becoming Batman when Batman: Nightwalker begins. One reckless decision after his birthday lands him doing community service at Arkham Asylum, just as Gotham comes under threat from a ruthless group known as the Nightwalkers, who are targeting the city’s elite. Inside Arkham, Bruce meets Madeleine Wallace, a brilliant and dangerous inmate who seems to know more than she should, and their tense connection becomes the story’s central hook.
What follows is a young Bruce Wayne story shaped less by superhero spectacle than by mystery, privilege, anger, and the first real signs of the man he will become. The tone leans suspenseful and noir-tinged, with Gotham presented as a city full of class tension, hidden motives, and moral danger. Readers can expect a fast-moving graphic novel that blends crime thriller energy with coming-of-age pressure, while showing Bruce before the cape and cowl, still learning how far he is willing to go and who he can trust.
