Description
Based on the eagerly awaited new feature film–the exciting origins of the ultimate crime fighter! Bruce Wayne is dead. The young heir to the Wayne empire disappeared seven years ago. His vast fortune has been given away, and the crime wave that began with the brutal murder of his parents has turned Gotham City into a living hell. The last holdouts against corruption–the cops who can’t be bought, the D.A.s who can’t be intimidated–are outnumbered and outgunned. They need help . . . show more fast. A world away, in a dank Himalayan prison, a nameless, hardened man fights every day to survive. He has spent seven years scouring the globe, studying the criminal mind, looking for an answer to the ugly riddle of his childhood. But something has been looking for him, too. Here, in the darkest places of his own anger, Bruce Wayne will discover his destiny–and an ordinary man will become a legend. show lessTags

First time I ever read a novelization of a movie I liked. A weekend of boredom would do that to a guy. The added material where Bruce researches the League of Shadows interested me. The divorce from the realism Christopher Nolan, however, left me sighing. All in all, it's a read. And that's all that matters.
