Thank the lord this never happened. I don't really give a shit about batman normally but there is no IP on earth that deserves to be given that sort of treatment.
Just AWFUL in EVERY. SINGLE. WAY.
High school with mutants and roiders...great.
The Idea of Bruce Wayne going to public school DOES NOT WORK so if you do have to do it how about getting rid of The Joker & Batman...oh shi..theres a problem already.
The Joker is great because he just appeared on the scene and has made a lasting but mysterious impact. Arkham Asylum's attempt at finding his origins have been fruitless but OH HANG ON! He was in Shitty High School all along as a depressed Goth.
And to be just mean the Concept art is absolute GARBAGE!! we really dont need anymore Animerica.

I dont' agree that htis would have been awesome and am glad it was scrapped.
First, there's absolutely no reason that any of them would be teenagers and have powers or psychotic issues. This would be a great time to makea gritty movie on just how the Joker went insane but nothing else is good with this premise.
Bring back Clone High damnit.

I actually think thsi would have been pretty interesting, certainly a strange take on the characters though. I don't know how good it would have been, or if the could have pulled it off but I think it would have been worth a watch. And the concept art is pretty nice actually.
One glance at the concept art and one thing went through my mind: The potential. If it had not been made for a kid audience whith psyche that actually fitted the characters, that would probably been pretty. Hell, I would have watched it.
It sure does look pretty enough, but then again...
As was pointed out by Yahtzee "Of course, it always LOOKS good", but i say that something looking very pretty is usually just misguiding you from the fact that it's SHIT!
I'm open minded to fanfics though so i'd probably give this a look and see how things turned out. Would be interesting to see it be done properly but i fear that the characters would be so far from what we know them to be that it wouldn't even be funny.

I would probably have watched it. and enjoy it. It entirely depends on how they played it. It's campy perhaps, and it certainly wouldn't fit with the established canon, but it doesn't really need to. The art is good, if the writing was good and the voices were decent, then it could have been alright.
Hmmm, well I think this would have worked just fine, mass murder and all. I think both the article writer, and some of the responders, seem to miss that comics have already involved a lot of teenage heroes and villains, including some who have been extremely murderous.
Given the number of Peter Parker's school chums/teachers who have become villains (at least temporarly) I could see a similar arrangement being done using the Batman rogues gallery in an alternative universe. I mean Catwoman isn't all that far away from Felicia Hardy (The Black Cat). The Joker isn't really all that far away from The Green Goblin who is ALSO a
mass murderer.
As far as giving it a whimsical spin, I don't think that's a big deal either. I look at characters like Deadpool, Ambush Bug, Slapstick, Squirrel Girl, and numerous others who manage to co-exist with and even cross over into more serious comics. It's really not that hard to have some really serious nastiness going on while also being somewhat lighthearted and casual about the whole idea. Indeed that's the kind of thing classics (or cult classics) are made of. I mean think of the whole Deadpool concept, especially when it first got going, complete with him breaking the fourth wall as a matter of routine. Ambush Bug is even worse and exists in the same world as The Joker, and Batman.

The only problem is that the combination of a high school student and clown makeup turns the Joker, the worlds most famous comic book villian, into a Juggalo.
We cannot have that.
Also... hipster Scarecrow?
