Presumably, this was due to a combination of its creation (as part of the aforementioned "U-Decide" campaign), its nature as a rather obvious ''Batman'' parody, and the fact that, tone-wise, it clashed with Ultimate Marvel as a whole (see LighterAndSofter below).

Plagued by chronic lateness, the final issue came out sixteen months after the series began, and it's since faded into obscurity, overshadowed by its fellow "U-Decide" competitors, the ''[[ComicBook/CaptainMarVell Captain Marvel]]'' reboot and ''ComicBook/{{Marville}}''.

* FreakOut: The Principal goes through this over the course of the series until he finally snaps. Conversely, Ms. Willow was always shown to not quite right in the head and gleefully encourages and enables the man's insane behavior.



* SecretTestOfCharacter: In the first issue, when Jack is deciding which orphan he's going to adopt, he allows the kids to ask him questions. Most of the kids try too hard to be cute and charming, whereas Hank gives Jack a hard time. Naturally, Jack ends up picking Hank.

* BlackBestFriend: Daniel Toliver is Jack's butler and possibly his only real friend.
* BrattyHalfpint: Unlike [[ComicBook/the character he's parodying]], Hank Kipple is an obnoxious little shit.
* {{Expy}}: Most of the main cast are expies of characters from the ''Franchise/{{Batman}}'' mythos:
** Hawk-Owl is, of course, Batman.
** Woody is ComicBook/Robin.
** Daniel Toliver is Alfred Pennyworth.
** The Principal is SelfDemonstrating/TheJoker (with a dash of ComicBook/TwoFace thrown in for good measure.)
** Ms. Willow is ComicBook/HarleyQuinn.
* InsistentTerminology: Daniel insists on being called Jack's butler, and is annoyed when Jack tries to call him a "personal assistant".
