http://blastr.com/2011/01/gotham-high-the-teen-batm.php#4 Do you tink that this concept should have been given a chance to become a series?

That exchange student from London -- the blond guy who always wears a trenchcoat -- seems a little creepy ...

Comment by Philip Portelli on January 13, 2011 at 1:48pm: Or the Greek exchange student who really is the student body!

Comment by Doc Beechler (mod-MD) on January 13, 2011 at 11:36am: And there's that Kent kid who seems to be hiding something...boy, does he love Lois, student body president and school newspaper editor.

Comment by Jason Marconnet (Pint sized mod) on January 13, 2011 at 10:40am: I pictured Ra's as the menacing head of the school board. Always showing up at the wrong time and threating to cut the school's budget. Having Talia in the picture is a great idea. Could there be an "After School Special" type episode with the introduction of baby Damian?

Here's my most brilliant idea. I realize Oliver Queen is not from Gotham but for the sake of this, he is. I picture Ollie as the same type of character Matthew McConaughey was in Dazed and Confused.

Comment by ClarkKent_DC on January 13, 2011 at 9:34am: This isn't ridiculous -- this is gold! Solid gold! The more we talk about it, the more I like it! I totally would buy this if it were a comic!

Comment by Doc Beechler (mod-MD) on January 13, 2011 at 9:15am: It's Batman...there is no ridiculous for Bruce. ;)

Comment by Philip Portelli on January 13, 2011 at 12:22am: Wow, I can't believe that we're all excited by a proposal that, at first glance, seems ridiculous!

Funny I was thinking about R'as as the principal when I was at work with Talia as the "Head" cheerleader. Maybe he was gathering the smartest, strongest, craftiest and, obviously, most messed up teens that he could find, those who could adapt and thrive in any enviroment. Possibly to surround Talia, his heir, with her own group to support and protect her.

As for other faculty members, there's Professor Hugo Strange, Doctor Death, the Crime Doctor and the Monk. The Cavalier could be the drama teacher, Ubu phys ed, the Spinner-dance, King Tut-history, the Bookworm- English Lit, the Firefly-home ec and Killer Moth as the custodian.

Other classmates could be Tommy Blake (Cat-Man) and Floyd Lawton (Deadshot) who were once part of Bruce's social circle.

BTW, I never liked Joseph Kerr as an alias. I would go with Jack Napier. He looks more like a "Jack" than a "Joe"!

With Talia as the principal's daughter, always trying to win Bruce's heart and causing trouble? I can see that.

I, for one, wish this had been made into a comic; it would totally be an "excited about this and say I'd buy it but then never wind up actually getting it 'cause I have a limited budget" book.

Comment by Horn'd One on January 12, 2011 at 6:47pm: From l-r;

Basil 'Clayface' Karlo, Harvey Dent (Two-Face), Ozzie Cobblepot (Penguin), 'Croc', Eddie Nygma (Riddler), "Don't Call Me Babs!" Barbara Gordon, Bruce Wayne, Johnny Crane (Scarecrow), Selina Kyle (Catwoman), Joseph Kerr, Harly Quinn, Pam Isley (Poison Ivy), 'Bane', Vic Friese (Mr. Freeze).

I put some of the names in quotes because I couldn't think of a matching 'teen-name'.

I can see Jim Gordon as the Vice-Principle, and various other Gothamites as guest substitue teachers; sorry, none of the Robins would be making an appearance, as they would be too young---or in kindergarden. Ras al'Ghul would make an excellent 'shadow-Principle', using some appropo nom -de-plume.
