GOTHAM HIGH: The Cool-Ass BATMAN Animated Series That Never Happened?

 

Wow! Just from the images we have and the concept of Gotham High this actually looks like something cool we missed. What if Bruce Wayne/Batman was going to high school with the Joker, Bane, Killer Croc, Scarecrow, Clay Face, Mr. Freeze, Poison Ivy, The Penguin, Harley Quinn and more? Well, this should-have-been an animated series that would have told this story, but I guess DC didn't want to do it at the time. Cool-ass creators Jeff and Celeste pitched this idea to them. I thin this has "hit series" written all over it too! I bet with Marvel's Peter Parker going back to high school and other comic titles following suit we will end up seeing this happen, at least I hope so! I'd pay good money for the Gotham High Class Photo below!

Gotham High

Hey everybody! We have a huge treat in store for you this week from the Jeff and Celeste vault of awesomeness. Batman is both mine and Celeste’s favorite superhero and some time about a year and a half ago, we were approached to create a spec series based off of an old drawing of mine that we then sent to DC. Unfortunately, the project got lost in the sea of all the other Batman related projects in the works. But hey, it was still fun to make.

The Story Synopsis:

We all go through incredible changes as teenagers: growth spurts, bad skin, a sudden insatiable need to uphold justice and avenge your murdered parents…. Well, that is if you’re Bruce Wayne.
As if being a freshman at Gotham High wasn’t tough enough, Bruce’s insomnia and technological fascinations are taking their toll. Instead of spending his time studying, he has begun to obsess over an emerging personality trait: Batman. But under the watchful eye of his guardian and steward, Alfred Pennyworth, Bruce is forced to put his intelligence to good use: graduating high school. But given his classmates, can Bruce survive Gotham High?
