Idea: Casper High field trip. Mr. Freeze attacks, complete with monologue of his motives. Batman and co capture him. As he's being led to the cop cars,
Lancer, raised voice: SENSE AND SENSIBILITY! For the last time, we are NOT kidnapping the rogue and bringing him and and his wife home with us.
The entire class, sobbing and clinging to a BREATHTAKINGLY exasperated Lancer: But he's like a frostbitten Orpheus trying to save his Eurydice!!!! ššššš
And the cops, Mr. Freeze, and the Bat vigilantes are just staring in growing confusion as the class continues to tearfully plead to take the rogue home like a stray cat or dog and promise to help take care of him and get him all the enrichment he needs.
Casper High pulls a fundraiser just so the class can afford to visit him. Arkham Asylum never had so many visitors at once, and certainly no teenagers that didn't so much as blink at the more colorful patients
In fact, they seem oddly at ease among the tables, helping insane criminals learn some arts and crafts. Even the Joker, who made more than one threatening comment, only caused a few chuckles from the teenagers. Though a lot of them did seem to reach for a green lipstick, placing the little tubes on the table within easy reach.
Everyone in Gotham was horrified, eyeing the class that boarded the rented-out bus with barely concealed fear and suspicion. Everyone was sure the twenty-something children would turn out to be horrible monsters, hell-bent on breaking the city apart, but no, they literally only went to visit the patients and left with a spring in their step and stopped for some fast food.
By nightfall, the bus had driven home, carrying with it the oddest group of people anyone has ever seen. And this was people from Gotham talking.
Dr. Victor is surprised to find that the teenagers hold regular fundraisers and have started online donation pages to try to help him raise money for his wife's cancer research. They're such good kids.
The villains of Gotham all swear that they would never harm those kids, and Bruce suddenly has a list of potential scholarship winners who could work around the city and become a means to protect the rest of Gotham from attacks.
Like planting trees against a large amount of water. Gotham sweats when a new bus, years later, comes back from Amity Park, filled with the same teenagers as before, but now? Now those kids were allowed to vote.
