Gotham Academy, Volume 1: Welcome to Gotham Academy

2 stars for the first half, 4 stars for the second half. It took a little while to lay the ground work for the story, but once we got off the ground and it turned into a mystery story, it was better. Totally unbelievable - a secret passageway connects Gotham Academy to Arkham Asylum and no one ever knew about it until now? - but at least it was fun once you got centered on what the deal was with Olive and she stopped moping around being mysterious. Maps was the best character. I don't know what Batman's deal was.(I read this because it was described in [b:The Caped Crusade: Batman and the Rise of Nerd Culture 27276413 The Caped Crusade Batman and the Rise of Nerd Culture Glen Weldon https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1458692562s/27276413.jpg 47328268] as a diverse comic in the Batman universe with female protagonists.)
