Scrapped Spec Series of the Day: Jeffrey Thomas and Celeste Green were commissioned to create a Clone High-style spec series for DC, which re-imagines the characters of the Batman universe as freshmen at “Gotham High.”
According to Jeff and Celeste, “the project got lost in the sea of all the other Batman related projects in the works,” but some concept art and a synopsis managed to make it through before the plug was pulled.
Synopsis below; concept art here.
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?
In the immortal words of the Blitz: “Aw, maaaaaaaan.”
