DO NOT WANT

Mercifully? Smallville has been at its best since the 2nd season as of late. If they do a spin-off, they just need to give Green Arrow his own series. Or take another look at Aquaman pilot they decided was too expensive to do as a series.

For my next awesome ( "awesome" translated to English: "tragic") idea, how about a show called GI Joe: The High School Years", with all the characters names update to be hip (Cobra Commander = C.C., the edgy cool leaders of a group of outsider kids planning on destroying Homecoming (*Gasp*)!)

These geeks and nerds will watch anything with a tangential relationship to a comic!

/sarcastic role-playing

Sooo...they could pretty much run reruns of "Rosanne" and just say that DJ Tanner changed his name, ran away to the circus (who wouldn't, with that family?), and became Robin?

Cool. Now I don't have to watch this show at all.

C'mon...let's give the series a fair shake. Think of all the potentially ironic dialogue:

"I love you, mom and dad. I don't know what I'd do without you..."

"Some day you'll spread your wings and fly, my little Robin..."

"Mom, since you and dad call me 'Robin' all the time, why didn't you just name 'Robin' instead of 'Dick.' Seriously, this name sucks."

"I don't care how much money he has, honey. A grown man living alone in a mansion with only his butler is just kind of creepy...Make sure Dick stays away from him."

"We'll always be there for you, Dick. No matter what. Now check out this new trapeze stunt your mom and I are working on!"

I think that it could work... if they actually get good writers in.

Though it could either go the way of Supernatural, and Dick and Family travelling around DC's version of the US, solving crimes and visiting superheroes that won't ever appear in film franchises (like most of the JSA) while travelling about with their circus.

Or, more likely, they'll be stuck in Gotham the entire time and he'll probably go to high school with a young Barbara Gordon, with Bruce in the role that Lex has in Smallville, only without the evil.

In the latter it would be possible to have Batman in the background and show how, already established, NOT TEENAGE supervillains effect teenagers in Gotham at a street level. The Riddler holding a schoolbus hostage or something for example. Which in turn could lead to cameoes of Barbara's dad, Renee Montoya, Harvey Bullock etc.

Plus it could be a way to showcase some of the more... silly Batman villains that argueably won't fit into the atmosphere of the Nolan films. Namely the likes of Mr Freeze, Clayface (who already made an appearence in the failed live-action series Birds of Prey), Killer Croc etc.

Though it might go the way of the proposed Aquaman series and just flat out not get beyond the pilot, or if it does go, the character will probably be in his mid-twenties by the seventh series with no sign of becoming Robin in site.

Who wants to bet he has a robin tatooed on him somewhere to signify the time he watched someone close to him die and there was a robin nearby or something?

And he's GOING to get into kung-fu fights with like gangs and things and some characters are going to be named like "Spoiler" and "Huntress" and have nothing to do with the comic whatsoever.

And how will this end, exactly? He meets Batman and then the show turns into The Adventures of Batman and Robin?

Why oh WHY couldn't they have made a show that's about Bruce Wayne's young years as a theif/gadabout/rebellious little scamp who travels the world learning kung-fu and mysticism and swordfighting and stealing and things? That would only be roughly 10,000x cooler. And they wouldn't even have to spend a lot of money travelling the world! Just shoot it all in Hollywood North and have, like, Tibet greenscreened behind him!

Oh, I know why that won't happen. Because it's kind of a good idea.

Why does DC hate us?

this sounds as bad as Smallville. He'll never become Robin...much like Clark in smallville will become superman and fly around...

So...are they going to set up a theoretical "official couple" thing between DJ (*snort*) and his oldest childhood friend Barbara (or possibly an oddly tanned, green-eyed redheaded exchange student with a mysterious past eager to learn about our huu-mon ways), only for the actual onscreen romantic chemistry to inadvertantly develop between DJ (*snork*) and some original supporting character?

See, I could really see this going either way with McG at the helm: on the one hand he executive produced Girlicious, but on the other hand there's Supernatural; Fastlane on one side, and Chuck on the other...wait a second...The O.C.??? Nevermind, this is totally going to blow.

I think I threw up in mouth a little.

So the CW has decided to do a show about Robin before he was Robin. Who the hell runs the CW?

Smallville is ending, so they need a new show about a teenage superhero. So they choose Robin. Not a bad choice except that WB might not want anything to mess up their Nolan Batman franchise.

So they decide on this Grayson idea...instead of the obvious choice of Teen Titans. (don't get me wrong, I would hate a Teen Titan live action on the CW). Teen Titans already has a fan base (even though some are batshit crazy).

Teen Titans would be a better replacement for Smallville than a show about acrobats.

So pretty much it'll be a typical CW show except that you know the main character's parents are going to die and he'll be adopted by an insane rich man, forced to dress up in tights and fight crime.

Also, in between all the teen angst the Joker might kill someone.

Wait, I might watch that.

I recall that about five or six years ago, a show based on the adventures of the young Bruce Wayne before he became Batman was seriously considered by the WB. I can't figure out why, besides rights issues, that show wasn't considered viable but this stupid idea was.

Oh CW...for the sake of the entertainment industry please just make Supernatural and ABSOLUTELY. NOTHING. ELSE. @_@

they should do one about Tim drake
