I found it a bit weird that Teen! Bat Girl is Teen! Bat Man's Unlucky Childhood Friend (mainly due to there age difference in canon)

I just find it annoying that adaptations keeps pairing them up. The DCAU did it too.

No, Bruce can't be a hall monitor. The hall monitors of Gotham High are utterly corrupt. That's why we need a vigilante monitor who beats the shit out of the tardy!

The Phantasm: A merciless Bully Hunter who uses the bully's own tactics against them (like flagpole wedgies)

And speaking of wedgies, the Joker gives Wedgies that are so painful they leave the victim smiling.

this should be a TV Tropes project.

Gordon's the Vice-principal

They should have done this to get back at all the Fan Dumb whining about "The Batman" and "Batman: The Brave and the Bold". It would have been glorious! tongue

Seriously, this is awesome. It can't be worked into regular continuity, but I'd love to see someone do a fanfic of it.

If I remember right, this never got past the proposal stage, though the artwork that was done for it was quite good. I'm really not terribly upset it never got made. I'm sure the folks behind it were pure of heart, but it sounds entirely too much like somebody's bad fanfic. It completely violates the Batman premise and co-opts the characters in an attempt to sell a high-school soap opera. It could be funny as a parody, like the super-deformed Last Airbender shorts (like School-Time Shipping), but I can't see it carrying a whole series.

I might've watched it just to see how they were going to handle the "recurring villains" angle while everyone is in school and would probably be expelled immediately.

Especially with people like The Joker.

Their parents are all rich. They threaten to sue the school if their kids get expelled.wild mass guess

This is still a signature.

Maybe it should have been Arkham High School, and it's where the city sends all the students who got expelled from other schools.

... That makes sense. Then why was Bruce Wayne there?

He wants to be there.

wild mass guess Because his parents are constantly away 'on business', and so he acts out by trying to stop bullies and the like (as his equivalent of the Batman persona) in hopes that they'll take notice of and be proud of him, and come home to see him in person sometime. That got him expelled from other schools, landing him in Arkham High.

A major plot point is Bruce Wayne's struggle with illiteracy — then, in the last episode, he realizes that reading is a function of the left brain, wakes up, and pulls the Mad Hatter's Lotus-Eater Machine off of his head.

The only thing that could possibly make this AU awesomer is a Musical World Hypothesis.

Why is it always high school? Middle school is where all the drama is in real life. Anyway this doesn't look out of the ordinary, in fact to be honest I'm surprised this was never made.

[up][up] High schoolers have a bit more freedom of movement than middle schoolers, allowing them to engage in a greater range of adventures without invoking Free-Range Children.

[up][up][up]From personal experience, I'm gonna have to disagree with you about middle school being where all the drama is.

Not that middle school was a cakewalk or anything, but still.

Mabye they can use the older Unpredictivly Zany "Get Batman to dress as a ballarina and have him fight gaint Teddy Bears" Joker instead. Also, Emo Zsasz is a must.

Also, the team should be named the Gotham High Inmates.

My middle school life was a great deal more dramatic than my high school life. Then again, people in my high school might have been inordinately mature for their age in general.
