PrintWatch: Two printwatches in one day? What is going on here. Well, this is a little different. DC Comics has just realised that, with the launch of the Gotham Knights TV series, they have some relevant comic books that haven't been republished with the rest of the Gotham Academy line that feeds into the show, that is currently storming up the charts. And so DC Comics is rush-soliciting a new comic, Gotham Academy: Maps of Mystery, that reprints the back-up stories from Batman #119-#121, written by Karl Kerschl and more besides.

"Return the beloved world of Gotham Academy with this one-shot, collecting acclaimed Gotham Academy back-up stories from Batman #119-#121, as breakout character Mia "Maps" Mizoguchi teaming teams Batman to search for a missing classmate! Plus, Gotham Academy: Maps of Mystery includes the Gotham Academy story from 2022 anthology DC's Saved by the Belle Reve, by the original Gotham Academy series creative team, along with Karl Kerschl's story from Batman Black and White #4! It's all things Gotham Academy from the past two years in one issue, and exactly what fans of the series have been hoping for."
