''Gotham Academy'' is a monthly pseudo-spinoff of the Batman series by Becky Cloonan, 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 so called famous schools, [[AcademyOfAdventure life at Gotham Academy is anything but normal.]]
