Batman: Nightwalker (DC Icons, #2)

It's Batman, so it's obviously getting 5 stars for that alone! But, it's a really fun origin story. We see Bruce as a teenager, filled with determination to make Gotham City a better place, not as an angst ridden adult still stuck in the death of his parents (as the movies always make him out to be).

I really liked this Bruce and the friends were a great addition too. Too often, we see Bruce/Batman as this solitary figure without anyone around save Alfred and a sidekick from time to time. In Nightwalker, he has genuine friendships (one with a name that we all know the outcome of), but it was wonderful to see Bruce as this friend who's willing to help in anyway he cans.

It just help emphasize the loyalty side of Batman that I don't think we get to see too often.

This was the first of these DC Icons stories I've gotten to read, but I have a feeling it'll be my favorite. Batman will always hold a special place in my fangirl heart.
