About the series
At DC Comics, Gotham Academy (2014–2016) reimagined the Batman mythos through the eyes of its teenage students, blending gothic mystery with coming-of-age drama. Written primarily by Brenden Fletcher and Becky Cloonan, with art by Karl Kerschl, Adam Archer, and Mingjue Helen Chen, the series follows a diverse cast of scholarship kids and eccentrics navigating the hidden histories and strange occurrences within the hallowed halls of Gotham’s most prestigious school. Over its 18-issue run, it stood out for its warm, character-driven storytelling and lush, manga-influenced visuals, proving that the shadow of the Bat could also cast light on a fresh corner of the DC Universe.
