DCU (Comics): Mother Panic (Gotham A.D.)
Media: Comic book miniseries published in 2018
Approximate Length: Six issues, or one trade paperback, and one separate set-up issue
What It's About
Mother Panic: Gotham A.D. is a miniseries spin-off of Mother Panic (see promo above) that sends protagonist Violet Paige to an alternate possible future where Gotham City has become a dystopia in Batman's absence.
How do you make a dystopia out of a city that's already a 'dark deco' labyrinth of killer clowns and bat-men? You gentrify it. Through a series of events that doesn't bear trying to summarize coherently because it involves Doom Patrol, Violet is flung forward ten years into a new Gotham where a sinister force has rebranded Gotham and the city's heroes and villains are being hunted.
Accompanied by plucky/murderous orphan sidekick Rosie, a.k.a. Fennec Fox, Violet seeks out this future's version of her mother, as well as her support team Dr. Varma and Dominic, in an attempt to set things right and return to her proper timeline. Along the way, she also encounters several mainstays of the Batman universe, including the Joker, Catwoman, Harley Quinn, and Red Hood.

Where to Find It
Individual issues and the trade paperback collection are available in print and digitally where comics are sold. Information about the trade paperback is available on the DC website: Mother Panic: Gotham A.D. There is also a bridging one-shot that explains how Violet came to the world of Gotham A.D., which was part of a larger 2018 crossover event called Milk Wars: Mother Panic/Batman Special #1.
What I Love About It
Predominantly Rosie. Not only is little Fennec Fox a delight on her own, but having a ward brings out a whole new side of Violet, who both struggles and grows in light of Rosie's determination to see her as a hero. I also appreciate how a certain character (no spoilers here) was brought into Violet's circle by the end. The setting is delightfully fiendish and frequently poignant, and it tugged on my heartstrings to see the team get some closure here denied by the ending of the original series.
I'm Requesting
Rosie gen and/or the residents of the Pike Hotel. Whether it's casefic, lighthearted humour, drama and trauma, a passel of heroes and former villains trying to raise a kid together, universe-hopping or grounded adventures, I just want to spend some more time with these characters.
Content Warnings
The violence in this series is about on par with the darker issues of Batman or other mainstream comics, including harm to children, and is generally for mature readers.
