BATMAN: NIGHTWALKERRead by Will Damon
BY MARIE LUE
ABOUT THE AUDIO BOOK:
#1 New York Times bestselling author MARIE LU meets the Dark Knight himself: BATMAN!
Batman. The Dark Knight. The Caped Crusader. Whatever you know him as and wherever you know him from–the movies, the animated TV show, the millions of comics–Bruce Wayne is proof that you don’t need superpowers to be a super hero.
Bruce has just turned eighteen and as he returns home from his lavish birthday party, he stops a criminal’s getaway–disobeying the police and crashing his car during the chase. He’s sentenced to community service in Gotham City’s Arkham Asylum, the mental hospital for the city’s worst of the worst. In Arkham, Bruce meets a lot of sinister criminals but the most intriguing one is the teen girl his own age. Madeleine has ties to the Nightwalker gang terrorizing Gotham City, and she’ll only speak to Bruce. She’s the mystery he has to unravel, but first Bruce has to figure out if he can trust her. Because the Nightwalkers only target the rich, and Bruce’s name is next on their list.
