So how big is your initial cast of new characters? Are you focusing on a small crew or showcasing the entire school?ĭoyle: Well, they’ve figured out every character in the entire school, yes. This is the DC Universe – it could be both. There’s no reason either side has to be wrong. We’re going to find out who that criminal is and tie them up and pull their mask off at the end. There are other students who are very practical and feel like there’s a crime behind this and we’re going to get to the source of it. There are some kids who believe this is supernatural and oh my god, you should be terrified or oh my god, you should be excited. Their opinions on the source of the mysteries is quite different.

These kids want to get to the bottom of it. There’s no talking dog, but it’s a bunch of kids dealing with mysteries that, on the surface, seem very supernatural in nature. Stephanie Brown is a major character in Eternal, so if you want your Stephanie Brown fist, that’s where you go.ĭoyle: Tonally, not exactly Scooby-Doo, but in terms of set-up, it’s not that far off. Might Stephanie Brown go to this school as well?ĭoyle: No. I’m going to have to circle back on that one.įletcher: I think we can leave it sort of ambiguous at the moment and just tell you that Bruce Wayne, in his past, had experiences with Gotham Academy, but we’re going to be non-specific at the moment as to what those were, and that will come out as part of his involvement with the school. Can we get back to you on that?Ĭloonan: Bruce had a little bad boy period.ĭoyle: Yeah, he did, and we showed some of his high school days in Zero Year recently, too.

Is this the same school that Bruce went to? The recent Batman & Two-Face storyline established a history with Bruce and Harvey and the McKillan sisters all attending school together.ĭoyle: That’s an interesting question. If someone sends me that, I’ll look at that one, too. They are new characters, but no, it’s not a sidekick training academy or anything – which is another pitch. Bruce is in the first issue, and there are other characters who I can’t talk about who will weave in and out. They are all new characters, but you will definitely see how events in the whole universe affect these characters, too. Mark Doyle: I think the questions that we’re kind of dancing around are ‘so if Batman and Robin and Batgirl’s not in it, who the hell are these people?’ They are completely new characters, but the whole pitch stems from conversations that Becky and I were having about ‘okay, yes, we have books with all those people in them, but what about everybody else in Gotham? What about young people in Gotham? How do they feel about all these costumed people running around? What’s it like to live in the shadow of Batman?’ That’s where this comes from.

Is this it’s own universe or tied in with the Bat-books?įletcher: It’s part of current continuity and you’ll see the events in other Bat-books, specifically Batman Eternal, will play into Gotham Academy, but you don’t need to be reading those other books to get the full story in Gotham Academy. There’s a scholarship that’s been set up, and our main character, Olive Silverlock, is the recipient of that scholarship, so he’s the reason why she’s going to school there. How involved is he in the administration?īecky Cloonan: He’s not involved at all. It’s basically a prep school in Gotham City that Bruce Wayne donates to.

For some reason, the first thing that came to mind after hearing that title was the image of Batman opening up a training camp for new Batman family members or home-schooling all his sidekicks.
