* InNameOnly: Despite being part of the Franchise/{{Batman}} franchise, the graphic novel has very little in common with Batman outside of the setting and the characters and even then, in regards to the latter, many of the characters barely resemble their typical portrayals outside of the name and sharing a couple of their traits. This is largely due to Creator/MelissaDeLaCruz not being familiar with the source material, openly admitting as such in [[https://ew.com/books/gotham-high-first-look-melissa-de-la-cruz-thomas-pitilli-exclusive/ one interview]].
