The story

In a dystopian world monitored by Batman, a young child grows up in Smallville, Kansas, idolizing the performers on a sketch comedy program, UCB Live. The protagonist's mother is disturbed when her child asks, "Was I born in the wrong body?" and immediately books a session with Dr. Crane of Arkham Asylum, who prescribes Smylex: a drug that forces its users to put on a happy face, even if they feel depression, anxiety, or gender dysphoria.
