Looks like “The Greyson’s” have been scrapped, if comicbookmovie.com is right.

[...] The CW is panhandling the DC universe to the max, hoping to extend its cash cow potential with an origin show of Dick Grayson called The Graysons. So far, no one I know is too enthused about this weak premise. But it is [...]

LOL @ 790!

They should really just do a “Teen Titans” show in all honesty, IMO. With Robin (Dick Grayson, NOT “DJ”, WTF?), Wonder Girl, Kid Flash (Wally West), Speedy, Beast Boy, Cyborg, Starfire, Aqualad, and Raven.

Loved the idea of solving crimes with his trapeze…imagine him setting female hearts aflutter with his prepubescently-pansexual moves on the monkeybars at the park playground, setting the stage for his rumored “closerthanthis” future relationship with a vengeance-minded millionaire playboy who is rumored to already have a little (4-letter-diminutive-form-of-the-name-”Richard”).

And I’ll bet you thought I didn’t see that no-profanity rule, huh?

No doubt once this one takes off they’ll announce a companion series for the kiddies: Bruce. Watch a young Bruce Wayne and his best friend, a dog named Alfred, learn important lessons about life, morality, and forming a personal relationship with Jesus*. Until the final season, where on a very special episode he watches his parents shot to death in an alley, goes more than a little insane, and becames a caped vigillante/dark avatar of vengeance.

I mean, come on. The whole point of Batman is that it’s a universe filled with otherwise normal people who were driven to insanity by life in Gotham. The only way they can make the show interesting is by making Robin an unusual character (more so than the normal circus-performing kid anyway), which only serves to make Robin a far less interesting character overall. The death of his parents, the defining incident in his life, is the one thing that makes Dick Grayson a character worth paying attention to, and knowing the producers probably the one thing that we’ll never see on screen.

(*I don’t know why, but that just makes it sound so much funnier in my head.)

Here’s a concept for the CW network…
“The Justice Teens”. Let’s just throw um all in together, and give them a Gossip Girl twist.
The show could introduce a new hero that uses the awesome power of teen angst to defeat crime, and heal like Wolverine.
To compete with Wolverine (Marvel), they might consider creating a new character called “Teen Wolf”, and then get sued by whatever Studio owns that character… Sure its short term gain,,, long term pain, but who cares, they just write that off anyway or get a bailout. 8-/
Maybe CW somehow owns Teen Wolf anyway by now ?

Brett Ratner interested says it all,,, oh I mean MCG,,,

You know, on second thougt… maybe it IS time to have a ‘Smallville’ replacement. Batgirl? Young, built, Megan Fox… huh? Oh. Jarvis says my BP is up. (That ain’t the only thing!) Now I’m stuck on the image of Megan in the Batgirl getup… Oil Can!!! -Stark

Sorry guys I dug it. Would really like to see DG grow up, (the actor in this was a good fit), become Nightwing quickly and move on. BTW, ‘Birds of Prey’ wasn’t that bad! I might even like a team-up on that one! Gotta go buff the armor… -Stark

Why is WB so determined to do TV series set in Batmans world that dont have Batman in them?

Niall!! That’s totally exactly my idea! If they did anything with Robin worthwhile, it would be a Nightwing TV series with flashbacks of him when he was Robin and occasioanl appearances of Batman. But doing a TV show about Dick Grayson before he was Robin (who, as mentioned, is, acoording to comics canon, a KID at this point in his life), is a SUCKY idea! What’s an even WORSE idea is making him in his late teens and still pre-Robin! WTF?

790, I got the South Park reference lol.

But scratch all that. A World’s Finest series with Superman and Batman teaiming up weekly is what I wanna see. It could be seperate from the movies, and since there’s no Superman/Batman teamup film planned for right now, a tv series would be a geat idea! They could even get Michael Green who writes the current comic of the same name to do the show (he also writes heroes and the GL film).

They should just move the pilot right along, tap into the ratings game and “reimagine it” into “Robin – 90201; The After Years!”

Frankly, when I first saw the title of this article, I thought “oh, c’mon, why don’t we give this one a chance first before we write it off.” But after reading about what CW intends to do with the story…I thought “Holy @#*%! What the heck were they thinking?”

Oh well, maybe I’ll give this one a shot first before I say anything more. But I have to agree that a “Nightwing” series would be more interesting.

The fan film is great. They’ve covered a lot of bases and looks like they did it well. Too bad.

lol. I just watched that Grayson fan movie. That was amusing. Out of all of it, I liked the Superman there the best. THAT’S the age and feel he should have been in Returns.
