Gotham Academy: First Year #1

A new chapter of Gotham Academy begins with this 2025 DC release, as a silver-haired student in school uniform stands front and center before the imposing academy gates, clutching a red notebook while bats swirl overhead — the cover tagline says it all: "This school has secrets. So does she. It's going great." Surrounding her are four fellow students, each with their own distinct energy, from the cool kid in sunglasses to the tennis-racket-toting prepster, painting a vivid picture of the social landscape she's stepping into. Karl Kerschl's cover art sets a wonderfully moody yet warm tone for this opening chapter, with Brenden Fletcher, Becky Cloonan, and Kerschl reuniting to tell the story of Gotham Academy's most mysterious school year yet.
