Story
They don't know who he really is. They never know where he'll show up. But the citizens of Gotham City know they have a protector. He's the Caped Crusader with an arsenal of amazing weaponry and a repertoire of incredible acrobatics. He's the legend they call Batman. In the toxic brew of big-city corruption, a bone-white, green-haired, eternally grinning thing is born. His name is The Joker. His lust is for all the wealth, power, and revenge he can grab from the world. In the war between criminal and crimefighter, Batman vs. The Joker will be the ultimate duel.

She will become one of the world's greatest heroes: Wonder Woman. But first she is Diana, princess of the Amazons. And her fight is just beginning. Diana longs to prove herself to her legendary warrior sisters. But when the opportunity finally comes, she throws away her chance at glory and breaks Amazon law - risking exile - to save a mere mortal. Even worse, Alia Keralis is no ordinary girl and with this single brave act, Diana may have doomed the world.

Story
Peter Parker is caught in a complicated web. Working in a cutting-edge laboratory, he's a young scientist who's trying to make a difference. Yet he's constantly burdened by the responsibilities of his second career as the crime-fighting Spider-Man. Wilson Fisk - the so-called Kingpin of Crime - has returned to New York, establishing himself publicly as an altruistic entrepreneur and philanthropist. Spider-Man knows better, but he can't uncover Fisk's scheme, which, if executed, will make the crime lord too big to fail.

Story
No evildoers have tried to flatten Peter Parker in weeks. His marriage to Mary Jane is stronger than ever, and he's enjoying his job as a high-school science teacher. Life is good. Naturally, that doesn't last. When Peter learns that his old enemy, the Rhino, is on a rampage in Times Square, he suits up as Spider-Man to stop the destructive villain in his tracks. But he's unexpectedly foiled in his attempts by the Black Cat, a former ally and old flame. The Cat informs Peter that the Rhino is just a distraction - the real threat comes from a group of Ancients.

Quick Teaser, good but not enough!
Good book, good story getting some background on the story and history. Appreciated the details about developing his detective abilities, not just his physical capabilities. Still felt like a YA novel and not nearly long enough to satiate my Batman needs! Good but not great. wouldn't give less than 4 stars tho.

Good book to listen befor the movie
I think that it is a pretty good origins with the ridler, and I like that ridler is the main villain because not every bat man main villain has to be the kicker, I have not seen the movie but I think the book is going to help a lot to understand, especially about “DEX”.

Narrator was horrible and so was this book!
This is an insult to Batman fans and to the Batman movie! This is my second and last audio book narrated by Will Damon. He sounds like he is mocking women’s voices for the female characters and tries to say sound effects such as “bring bring” the phone rang… ridiculous and distracting. Very insulting to women. He pronounces foyer “foierrr”.
As for the actual book, the word “smear” was used 11 times in the last chapters. The writer seems to become lazy and repetitive. I’m glad this was a short book because I could barely stand to finish it!
Huge disappointment!

It's a very basic and generic story that adds nothing to Batman in general or the movie.

Batman For Kids
As a huge fan of the movie, I was entirely dissapointed by this book. Will Damron did a good job with narrating, but the writing itself was the letdown.
I would feel perfectly confident in giving this book to an eight year old. No one swears, there are a handful of safe "fights" including an old lady getting her purse stolen, and the primary focus seems to be a crush that Bruce has on a girl he barely speaks to. It screams of young adult and doesn't offer anything to the movie, except to say that Bruce and Edward unknowingly met a few times in the past, which just seems corny.
I was really hoping for more from a prequel to one of my favorite film adaptations of the Dark Knight. I'm left feeling confused as to why a young adult book would be the prequel to a film that opens with a visceral murder and includes things like strangling hookers to death and drug pedaling...?
Skip it.
