Wayne of Gotham: A Novel | Tracy Hickman

A Batman mag. and a Superman mag. were among my Christmas gifts from my mom. I have first gobbled up the Batman stories 😍🦇📚💖.

This offered a glimpse from three graphic novels. Brilliant, and left me hungry for more Batman.

Good thing I'm currently reading the tagged...I've only tiptoed into the first few pages, and this magazine just gave me the push I needed to dive right in...oh, how I've missed this character 🥳🦇📚💖.

Wayne of Gotham: A Novel | Tracy Hickman

The fact that Gotham has seemingly seeped into reality has truly rocked my psyche.

Still love my Batman, but crazy Gotham has had me avoiding my favorite superhero for months now.

Truthfully, for a Batman fanatic, I don't really have that many Batman books/movies on my shelves...👀🤷🏽....yet when I do read/watch Batman, I soak up scenes like fuel. I delight that I can anticipate Bruce Wayne's/Batman's choices and moves beforehand...

👇🏼

AnnCrystal and when I'm surprised, I spend time analyzing why Bruce Wayne/Batman made his decisions as if I've been given a grand new insight into Bruce Wayne's character.

Bruce Wayne's Batman fuels my hope, rejuvenates my warrior spirit, highlights the importance of holding onto empathy, and so much more.

AnnCrystal This book first captured my interest just after I realized that the original Bruce Wayne is the only Batman I connect with...this seems to focus on the Wayne family mystery.

It also seemed like a safe choice, since it doesn't seem to focus on the usual foes of Gotham.

Yet I have still hesitated to read this book...

AnnCrystal Monday evening, I came into my bedroom and I discovered this book moved from my bookshelf to my bedside table...with a newly handcrafted Batman bookmark!

A letter was tuck inside this book, where my mom wrote the following:

“Our ancestors had their stories about our cultural heroes, stories we are both rediscovering but neither you or I were raised knowing from childhood. Not the stories about our American indigenous heroes.

AnnCrystal That's because these stories were lost somewhere along our family's line, lost because all our Ancestral stories and cultural ways became forbidden. Forbidden because they gave us power, courage, and hope.

Info did trickle down through the generations, but so much must be rediscovered and reconnected with.

You attached yourself to Batman since you were two years old. You adopted him before Zorro, before Zapata, before other obsessions.

AnnCrystal Our reality may feel like Gotham City, but do not allow yourself to avoid Gotham, because then you also avoid Gotham's hero.

You have allowed reality's villains to take away the hope that the Batman character ignites within in you.

Rediscover your Batman! Allow the magic held within the pages to seep into your fingertips and fuel you with the power, courage, and the hope that Batman so easily inspires for you.“

These words shook me to the core...I had thought avoiding Gotham City would calm some of my anxiety...yet avoiding Batman could only truly mean one thing for me...

...and there is no 🤬 way that I am ever going to give up on HOPE!

My mom left the heart for me to write whatever I wanted, “fuel your mind“ felt fitting 💖🦇🥰🦇💖.

Thank You @debinhawaii for #5JoysFriday & for the tag 💖🌺💝.

1- Litsy is working again 👏🏼📚💝💝💝.

2- book shopping...because I had absolutely no more tbr books on my bookshelf 🤥📚👀😂😜🤣.

3- Garden 🪄🌱💝.

4- Reading Snacks 😋🍿📚💝.

👇

AnnCrystal 5- Batman...I can't seem to read/watch anything Batman right now because of the whole problem with reality being very Gotham-like...yet I found the tagged on my TBR to-buy list, and it seems more of a mystery focused on Bruce Wayne's family and not so much about chaotic Gotham City. I couldn't resist 🤞🦇💝.

With Suicide Squad released in theatres and the newest animated movie Batman the Killing joke also making its way to bluray! I'm craving all kinds of joker. This was a great little gem that had batmans first encounter with the joker and a great adventure where batman fights alongside Alan Scott, the green lantern!! #batman #darkknight #gotham #greenlantern #brucewayne #dccomics
