‘Gotham High:’ The Animated Teen Batman Show That Almost Was#1

This almost seems like a joke. A Batman cartoon featuring everyone as teenagers? And they all went to the same school? Well, it almost happened. That photo above is Clayface, Two-Face, The Penguin, Killer Croc, The Riddler, Batgirl, Batman, Scarecrow, Catwoman, Joker, Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, Bane and Mr. Freeze. As teenagers. It’s a promotional image from Gotham High, a show that was being developed by comic book artist/author team Celeste Green and Jeffrey Thomas based on an image they sent to DC. Ultimately, it “got lost in the sea of all the other Batman related projects in the works” but they’ve posted a bunch of images from the would-be show on their blog and they’re kind of mind-blowing. Check them out after the jump.



JUMP!

Considering I hate Teen Titans with the fire of 1,000 suns, I am surprised I did not damage anything when I first saw this-- even if it never happened. Still, the fact it was considered gave me pause. The animation seemed decent, at least.

X-Men: Evolution pretty much sprang from this concept and it wasn't bad at all, actually, but "teen Joker goes to high school" is, uh...hard to reconcile, I have to admit.

Oh, and if you want the Robins as little kids, there's always Batman and Sons.

The sad thing is that I probably would have watched this crap.
