Added DiffLines:

* AmbiguousSituation: In the Annual, Olive ends up getting sick alongside a majority of the student body; Pom blames her illness on a vampire infestation, while Colton believes the school's new guest lecturer poisoned her. [[spoiler:While they're both correct (there is in fact a vampire haunting the school and the guest lecturer turns out to be the radioactive Blight), it's never explicitly confirmed which one caused Olive to fall ill, though it's all but stated both of them got the student body sick as a whole.]]

''Gotham Academy'' is a monthly pseudo-spinoff of the Batman series by Creator/BeckyCloonan, Brendan Fletcher, and Karl Kerschl that launched in 2014. As its name would imply, it's focused on the lives of the students attending Gotham's eponymous and most prestigious academy, particularly one Olive Silverlock. Attending her second year at the academy, she trudges through school life with a laundry list of personal problems and a knack for getting into trouble. Like many other famous schools, [[AcademyOfAdventure life at Gotham Academy is anything but normal.]]

Added DiffLines:

* EvilTeacher: A number of the teachers at Gotham Academy are either current or former members of Batman's rogues gallery; for just a few examples, Hugo Strange is a student counselor, Kirk Langstrom/Man-Bat is a science teacher, and Sterling Silversmith is a shop class teacher. Sometimes they plot evil schemes that involve the school or its students, sometimes they're just content to teach (though their villainous mannerisms can creep in).

At this time, Arkham was indeed derelict and abandoned, with the inmates being relocated to Wayne Manor, which was seized by the city. In fact, Olivia's mother appears in Arkham Manor.


* LooseCanon: It's unclear just how canonical this is in relation to other Batman-related comics. Various characters from them appear and there are allusions to Bat-book crossovers (with "Endgame" and "Robin War" getting full-on tie-in issues) but it's hard to imagine Hugo Strange and Kirk Langstrom being employed as schoolteachers given their lengthy criminal histories, and Arkham Asylum in the series is derelict and abandoned.
