This graphic novel takes the famous and iconic Batman characters and reimagines them as young adults; trying to survive the murky waters of high school – which we all know can be very unforgiving!

And like all the young adult books that we are so accustomed to; there are some, if not all predictive cliché that we would come toe expect, even with our beloved comic characters! But it is the author’s own interpretation to the characters that will capture your attention and never let go!


In this new DC YA Comic; Bruce Wayne is half Asian and Alfred (the butler!) is now Bruce’s gay uncle, who is married. Awesome isn’t it? These facts pretty much cemented my interest in the comic, immediately!

Now that Bruce Wayne is back in Gotham City – and when a young man, a classmate of Bruce is kidnapped for ransom while wearing Bruce’s jacket, he knows that things are going to get dicey but even he wouldn’t have been able to imagine not predict how and where the solution to the mystery would lead him to!

So, beyond the wonderfully diverse representation – the plotline is quite straightforward, if not predictable – but it is the artwork that gives off the mysterious vibes and captures the attention of the reader + makes this new comic series worth your time and keep an eye out for future volumes!
