A few years ago, a couple of Batman fans came up with the idea of a canon high school AU. They proposed the show idea to DC but unfortunately things didn't pan out. The idea lives on, though!
Here's the creators' blog post about what could have been, which includes some character shots.
Here's the official character summaries, too, as minimal as they are:
The animated series would have adhered to those high school stereotypes we all know and love. There was the art geek (Clayface), the politically-minded class president (Two-Face), the dorky fat kid (The Penguin), the super jock (Killer Croc), the incredibly intelligent nerdball (The Riddler), the cute, smart, girl-next-door type (Batgirl), the hipster (Scarecrow), the dangerously hot chick (Catwoman), the Jugallo (The Joker) and his Jugalette (Harley Quinn), the sexy goth girl (Poison Ivy), the meatheaded, steroid-pumping wrestler (Bane), the “cool” guy (Mr. Freeze), and, in the middle, cooler than all of them - Bruce Wayne.
Obviously you'd be encouraged to go PAST those stereotypes in your roleplay. So far there's only me and
Eddie/the Riddler. We've been playing in a rather unformed world, full of vague suburban Gotham feel and high school drama. Also they broke into a Starbucks. We've worked in some comic canon, but are mostly just going totally AU.
The only thing I'd ask is that if someone picks up Selena, they go along with the headcanon I made up -- that Jonathan and she used to be friends until about a year ago when she (ahem) developed and suddenly got cool, leaving him behind. Not that he cares. At all. Fuck her. Etc.
