i wonder if they'll connect this to the DCCU as the show is set way before the existence of Batman

I'm actually looking forward to this show. Just hope it's part of the DC Cinematic Universe.

Questions:

1) I'm curious about which villains will appear on the show?

2)Which villain predated a 10 year old Bruce Wayne? Considering some of his rouges where inspired by the appearance of the Batman, like the Joker for example.

Howlett@ I was questioning the same thing. Probably going outside the canon and changing up the origins I imagine. I guess we will have to wait and see. Not sure if this premise is going to interest me or not.

Well this is just what I always wanted to see a baby Bruce Wayne :). I feel for the kid who get to play him. He will probably think he will get to wear the Batsuit. Hopefully he won't think that.

But I wonder who will be the villains. Will it be the early years of the Falcone family? Will Ra's al Ghul play any part in it? Will the Maroni family play any part? Plus the only other one I could think up is Rupert Thorne. Everyone else would be to young. So it will be interesting to see what they do with this show.

Plus I know it would never happen but I so wish WB would put a Batman tv show on HBO. There is so many great villains that will never got a chance to be shown on the big screen. That it would be great to finally see them. I could see it doing well in the viewers for them. Plus it could go to a darker place then it does in the movies.

Would love this show to be a tie in miniseries, exploring how the death of the Wayne's affected Gotham... The tv based around those 24 years or so of how Gotham came to need the batman. That way later episodes we could origin stories of the villains and the DCCU is open wide, and can go in any direction!

A couple things about this news got me wondering

1. How WB is allowing another channel to run a DC property let alone Batman characters seems really weird to me.

2. This sounds like a cop show with Batman villain names getting dropped. Personally I really don't like this idea for a show. A great number of his villains can't be here and should not be changed in order to be in this show. Really the only villains that will fit are the crime families like the Falcone family. The only one that can ever make sense for a series villain is Black Mask but again he works so much better as a Batman villain.

This feels like to me a cop show with Batman icons slapped on the title to sell it to people.

my super-secret source at Warner Bros. told me that Lex Luthor will be in the TV series selling crack on the streets of Gotham. Yeah, that's what I heard.

DICK... did your source tell you Lex will appear as an African-American in the TV series?

Before this happens I still think that they need to at least mention Batman or Bruce Wayne on Arrow.

I am not sure what I feel about this news. I hope they get a good actor to play Gordon. A Batman show without Batman doesn't sound the greatest though.

I have a source that says Paris Hilton is playing Gordon and that his partner will be a talking, wise-cracking, cgi cat.

What if.... here me out.... DC is just trying to blindside us and this is the show that ultimately becomes the vehicle for Nightwing and other Gotham characters and is linked with the Ben Affleck Batman (who will be "retired" or up on the justice league satellite).

Can't they put it on the CW?

This got a straight to series order, it sounds like they've got a ton of confidence in it.

If I wanted to watch a show about Gordon I would watch Kojac. You CAN'T have Gotham without Batman. All of the villains are at least within 10 years of Batman so that means no relevant villains. Good luck Fox... your going to need it.
