CW Clips Robin Prequel’s Wings
The much debated and almost universally panned idea for The Graysons, a prequel show about a young Robin, will not come to CW airwaves after all. The L.A Times’ Hero Complex blog said the project is dead in the water.
The Graysons would have been a Smallville-style show about the adventures of young Dick “DJ” Grayson, who will one day grow up to be Batman’s sidekick. It was slated to be used as either a companion show to or replacement for Smallville depending on how this season shakes out.
Ordinarily I’m in favor of any comic-based TV projects, but everybody from critics to commenters on our boards thought this idea was born bad. Thankfully, somebody at Warner Bros. agrees. What about a young Wonder Woman show? That movie doesn’t look like it’s ever going to happen and that’s a show that would appeal to Smallville’s young fanbase.

Good move WB. Instead of a Wonder Woman show how about a space saga featuring the Green laterh Corp. something like babylon 5. just spit-balling

It could be awesome. The GLC has never been a hotter property, thank you Geoff Johns.
