The suicide attempt was actually just staged, and the character had no intention of actually killing herself. However, this was not revealed at first, so I felt that I should list this in the content warnings because some might find it difficult to read about.

I enjoyed reading this version of the Batman characters. It was interesting seeing who was who, especially since some weren’t super obvious. I will say I don’t really think that these characters really acted like high school students though. They seemed to act way older.

This is the one where Alfred is gay.
Basically all the characters are in high school, and the villains aren’t really villainous.
