But even in Scooby Doo, it's like, "There's a wolf-man scaring people away from the carnival" kind of thing, whereas in Gotham Academy, I'm not sure there's a <em>crime</em> per se, so much as "They won't let us in the North Hall and we don't know why." But if you want to say Gotham Academy is like Gotham Central meets Scooby Doo, I'll take it.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-70185661117974681162015-06-29T14:46:59.377-05:002015-06-29T14:46:59.377-05:00It's kind of like Scooby Doo.

And the book does look at "Gotham life," so to speak, in the shadow of the Bat, like Central did. But I fear that comparison might still give some the sense of this being a crime procedural, when I think it still tends toward fantasy or high adventure.collectededitionshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698269790653953645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10945794.post-4263560507862753712015-06-29T14:27:13.691-05:002015-06-29T14:27:13.691-05:00I've seen someone describe this as the teenage...I've seen someone describe this as the teenage version of Gotham Central.
