Batman is the World’s Greatest Detective. But can he also live up to his other accolade of world’s greatest dad?
Being a father to an endless supply of adopted, fostered, and biological children is its own challenge. But when you’re Batman, surrounded by a slew of super-powered (and not) teenagers, you’ll need every bit of your intellect to manage the brood.

In this continuing story, we are greeted by a few newcomers, including Catwoman, Superboy, Impulse, Wonder Girl, and other well-known faces from Gotham City and beyond in stories about dating, learning to drive, going on patrol, and simply what it means to be a teenage superhero.
Written by CRC Payne with inks by Starbite, this volume collects episodes 26-51 of WEBTOON’s Eisner-nominated series, optimized for a brand-new reading experience in print. Includes never-before-seen bonus content from the creators themselves!
