Old Shame refers to a piece of media that the creators ultimately had negative feelings over, while this example covers an obscure character being used for the musicals. Moving to YMMV under Unexpected Character

* OldShame: Averted. Rather than doing the obvious and having the Joker, Poison Ivy, Scarecrow or some other well-known Batman villain as the Big Bad, the makers of Holy Musical Batman dug up Sweet Tooth, a C-list Batman villain who has had exactly two appearances in official Batman media. First as the villain in an episode of The New Adventures of Batman, where he commits crimes with a candy motif and weaponised sweets: a corny villain, even by the standards of the cartoon he was in. His second appearance was a cameo in Batman: The Brave and the Bold. Understandably, Sweet Tooth never caught on, and with the new, darker age of Batman stories, has been almost completely forgotten and ignored by all. Except this musical, that is. They even manage to go the extra mile and actually make him threatening. [[BewareTheSillyOnes Completely ridiculous, but threatening.]] He ends up playing like a candy-obsessed Joker.

* CreatorsFavoriteEpisode: In a very classy move, Creator/DarrenCriss praised this show -- the first Starkid show he had no involvement in -- as having his favorite music by far of all the Starkid canon, and said Nick Gage's songwriting was far superior to what he would've come up with. He even said that he played "Dark, Sad, Lonely Knight" at the party when he received his Emmy Award.

** Creator/DarrenCriss got as far as writing his own version of the OpeningChorus, which was much more in his signature pop-rock style, before his commitment to Series/{{Glee}} forced him to bow out. Darren has since said this was for the best and he greatly prefers Nick Gage's compositions to what he could've come up with.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Believe it or not, this show was already in the planning stages all the way back in 2009, as one of the parody musicals that Theatre/AVeryPotterMusical was originally just one example of. The Langs were initially uncertain if they'd ever get to make ''Holy Musical B@man'' if their other plans worked out, and had offered to let Joey Richter and Arielle Goldman direct it as a college show, recommending A.J. Holmes to play the Joker. Needless to say, that would've been a very different production than what we got.

** The original casting had Chris Allen playing Sweet Tooth, but his flawless Creator/MichaelCaine impression convinced the Langs to rework the show and cast him as Alfred. When looking for a replacement Sweet Tooth they immediately thought of their [=UMich=] colleague Jeff Blim's signature SlasherSmile, and Blim's energy took the character in a totally different direction (and inducted the future composer of Theatre/TheTrailToOregon and Theatre/TheGuyWhoDidntLikeMusicals into the Starkid family).
