I read this book for a school project and ended up liking how DC Icons focused on how these main anti-villains and heroes came to be. When I read the first chapter of Batman Nightwalker I could not put it down because it had a suspenseful grasp on me. There were so many clues and mysteries to whom the nightwalkers were led by but with every chapter it felt astounding to read. I read that book two times since I finished it the first time on a weekend; I did not completely understand it so I read it again.
