[Just for fun] If the CW did a live action Batman series

[Von_Steinwehr]

A couple of days ago my friends and I were sitting around and discussing super hero shows: The Justice League, Teen Titans, and of course Smallville (just to name a few).

I got to thinking: How could the CW screw over Batman, who is my personal favorite super hero character and I love how these new movies are portraying him.

Just a few thoughts I had was have Bruce Wayne wear all black and never show the suit to resemble Smallville, have him involved in an ENDLESS love triangle with someone and call the show Gotham. Just some thoughts off the top of my head.

This is just for fun so take it away and enjoy!

That was the initial idea before Smallville developed.

Great idea

Would be a BATMAN version of “Smallville”

Would be great except the CW & these show's makers all seem to suffer from some level of B&B-itus

The chance-avoiding mudstick drips who run networks & studios are the main obstacle, as always.

WOW. I did not know that. This kind of destroys my hope of having fun comparing it to Smallville-style universe since the work is already done

Personally, I would've rather seen the Bruce Wayne series than Smallville. I think it would've worked better.

I agree. With Smallville, they seem to want to keep him as far away as possible from becoming Superman. Here, with Batman, it takes years to build the infrastructure and go through the various forms of training Bruce needs, so there's plenty of time for story and organic development. Plus there's no superpower hiding type crap. It's just Bruce
