Gotham High

This was really fun and I liked the art! A good Batman, Catwoman, Joker story that's not too grim and broody. (Just a little bit.)

I was disappointed with this. The concept of a young Bruce, Selina, and Jack is good, but this book didn't do it. I don't feel like it did justice to the characters. While they did okay portraying Alfred I feel like making him Bruce's uncle damages his role in Bruce becoming Batman. It mentiond Dick Grayson in the begining of the book, and he shouldn't have been born yet. The same thing goes for Barbra. I am a die hard Batman fan, and was very disappointed.

3 stars!

Our DC heroes and villains made quite the page-turner; I not only really liked seeing teenage Joker, Batman and Catwoman- but I loved how they were developed in the graphic novel!

I'll go as far as to say that I liked the Joker too!

It was so masterfully written and illustrated, I loved the glimpses into each character's lives, personalities, and trials!

Melissa de la Cruz did great with the ‘showing and not just telling' rule.


The pov and way it was told was mysterious and suspenseful, I really like how it was done and added extra to the story.

There were a lot of different vibes because of the narrator, but it blended together really well and actually distracted you for a plot twist that I found very satisfying and epic!
