Gotham High: Volume 1

The dialogue is all clunky and not how teenagers talk. And the main character is horrible and unikeable. Not to mention, the characters in this book are almost unrecognizable, and filled with SJW cringe. It is balantly obvious that the author did no research on Batman or the lore, and stuffed Batman characters in, without paying attention to their personalities, and there are race changes in almost every one of them. Finally, the conclusion wasn't climatic, and lazily done. I suggest not wasting money on this book, because it's just boring throughout

Absolutely, disgustingly disrespectful to the Batman mythos. I'd say a love triangle between Bruce, Catwoman and the Joker would be bad enough, but the characters are so different from the ones they're based on that I'd find it difficult to even recognize it as a "Batman" comic if the characters didn't share their names. Congratulations, Melissa. You failed.

It honestly wasn't that bad. The thing is- if you're expecting something like King or maybe even Bendis, this isn't your story. But for those who want to see a different outlook to the origin, or even just a re-working, then it's a good novel. Yes, some of the dialogue can be clunky, but the design is pretty, especially the backgrounds. Overall? it's a good YA graphic novel.
