I feel bad for the two， because I get this is meant for young readers， but man。。。 There's some neat plot points the author was probably told to hit but it's a lesson in telling not showing between。 It reads like a synopsis。 I'd just find a shorter one。 I feel bad for the two， because I get this is meant for young readers， but man。。。 There's some neat plot points the author was probably told to hit but it's a lesson in telling not showing between。 It reads like a synopsis。 I'd just find a shorter one。 。。。more

A book for middle grade readers， so I took that into account when reviewing。 But will an adult interested in info about the upcoming film find enough here to justify their $10 and an hour or so of their time？ Maybe。 It’s a simple story that checks in on Bruce Wayne and Edward Nashton （aka Riddler）。 Their stories don’t really overlap， which was kind of surprising， but this is very much more a teaser to get kids interested in the movie。 Bruce is given a complete story here- his first crime to solv A book for middle grade readers， so I took that into account when reviewing。 But will an adult interested in info about the upcoming film find enough here to justify their $10 and an hour or so of their time？ Maybe。 It’s a simple story that checks in on Bruce Wayne and Edward Nashton （aka Riddler）。 Their stories don’t really overlap， which was kind of surprising， but this is very much more a teaser to get kids interested in the movie。 Bruce is given a complete story here- his first crime to solve。 We get some idea of what the history of this Batman is like。 With Edward’s story we get some insight into his motivation。The writing is simple。 There’s some silly onamonapia usage that I’m sure I’d to make this more fun when a parent is reading it allowed to a child。 Your patience with that sort of thing may vary， but the book does what I expected it to do。 There’s zero reason to read this after seeing the movie， I imagine， but if you’re riding the hype train of the movie it’s a fun diversion。 。。。more

Is this book required reading before seeing the Batman film this March？ No probably not。 But it still gives some interesting background to our foreground characters that may or may not have a role in the upcoming film。 This is pretty much a Junior novel prequel to the Batman movie， featuring Batman at the very， very beginning of his time taking up the cowl （since the Matt Reeves movie is effectively a Year Two story）。 It spends half of the novel with Bruce as a 17-year-old， engaging in vaguely r Is this book required reading before seeing the Batman film this March？ No probably not。 But it still gives some interesting background to our foreground characters that may or may not have a role in the upcoming film。 This is pretty much a Junior novel prequel to the Batman movie， featuring Batman at the very， very beginning of his time taking up the cowl （since the Matt Reeves movie is effectively a Year Two story）。 It spends half of the novel with Bruce as a 17-year-old， engaging in vaguely rebellious activities before eventually deciding that crime-fighting is his true passion， and the other half of him solving his first case as a vigilante and first working with the GCPD。 Edward Nashton （not Nygma here lol） is also featured in this novel and has a pretty interesting connection to the Wayne family that I hope we see more about in the movie。 If you are familiar with previous DCEU junior novel prequels， think Man of Steel's 'Early Years' or Aquaman's 'Undertow'。 That is to say， this novel gives a little bit of background for the story， but by no means are you missing anything by not reading it。 BOOK SPOILERS BELOW！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！！The most important detail that I could ascertain from this novel was that the Wayne Manor had actually been converted into an orphanage following Bruce's parents death （he lives somewhere in Wayne Tower normally）。 Additionally， Edward Nashton， aka the Riddler， an orphan himself， grew up in this building before （SPOILERS） promptly burning it down。 He has grown to hate the Waynes and associates the bullying he underwent as a child with Bruce and his parents。 This is a much more personal connection than we normally see between Riddler and Batman that likely will have interesting consequences in the movie。 Metropolis and Lexcorps are also mentioned near the end of the novel， a la Man of Steel mentioning Lexcorps and Wayne Enterprises。 Maybe a nod to the future， maybe not。 Definitely not a must read but fun nonetheless。 。。。more

Short but sweet。 Definitely seems to be important information into the characters mindset leading into the movie。 It did it’s job， I’m looking forward to the movie now。
