[Matthew Ward · Rating 3 out of 5]

Recently, I’ve bought a couple YA Batman books to read just because they were new and were cheap. This is one of them and for a Batman story that I’d expect and want to read, this falls flat. But I would say this would be a perfect book to recommend to someone looking to get into Batman. You get good introductions to other members of the Bat-Family and various villains. The art was also much better than I expected it to be, especially given the target demographic on this one.

I really enjoyed this book. It was more kid-friendly, but without feeling “juvenile,” just a little cheesy—but in a lovely, charming way that was an optimistic take on Batman and Gotham, rather than the usual dark and depressing one. It was a nice change of pace.

More YA Batman that doesn't really fit in regular continuity...

Is there (was there going to be) a toyline? Feels like they'd be marketing some action figures with this. Biggest takeaway from this is that they created a Batman equivalent to Twitter and other social media...aka...Knightwatch.

Cute. Fun. Harmless.

(only 5 issues, not the 10 issues that Goodreads claims)

great comic book for kids!! it wasn’t childish and it had good moral theme endings after each comic. highly recommend for kids who want to read comic books but aren’t quite old enough for the adult themes.

This book is aimed at the late elementary age, but with the puns and great art work seasoned comic readers and adult comic fans will enjoy it.

Lowkey shallow and not the biggest fan of the art style
