Notes

It's hard enough being in middle school, but it's even worse when you're the only kid at your school who doesn't have super-powers. That's the case for 13-year-old Bruce Wayne at the Gotham Preparatory School for the Really, Really, Really Gifted, where the struggles of being un-powered are made worse by the presence of so many exceptionally gifted students. He doesn't stand a chance of winning a race against the future Flash, or a swim meet against the future Aquaman, and he always gets picked last for dodgeball. Bruce does have a goal though: he wants to make a difference in the world. But how can he do that when he doesn't have any powers? His challenge comes when he discovers fellow student Jack Napier and his hired bully Bane shaking down lesser-powered students for money, including that hapless kid Dick Grayson. Someone must stand up to them and somehow, it's going to be Bruce!
