(Oh yeah a DC show with a different cast every week getting them b-grade characters out there called something like: DC LIMITS or DC LIMITLESS!)

Nothing because for the most part super hero TV shows blow. Stick to animation and we're good.

DC screwed it up, now i think its Marvels turn to hit the small screen. I would like to see maybe spiderman or captain america.

Either Wonder Woman, Supergirl, or The Flash.

Do we really need another Smallville??

Neither please. If its anything like “Smallville” I wont be watching it. All smallville did was make a crappy elseworlds version of superman that was boring, lame, cheap, and confusing to the uninitiated. Now we have a pile of quasi superman fans who think that smallville is actually representative of the superman mythos.

It was a big ball if cold Ick.

Hasn't DC already said their working on a live action 'Raven' (from Teen Titans I think) series?

Neither. DC/WB relies to heavily on "The Trinity". They need to invest more time in other characters that could spark interest like Booster Gold, Green Arrow, or Martian Manhunter. I don't think these characters are good enough to have a movie just yet, but if DONE CORRECTLY would make great t.v. shows.

Now that I've seen tape, I see why this flew as much as Smallvilles "Superman":



WTF's with Tin Man @ 2:12???

Wonder Woman series? I don't think they're gonna try that again for a while.

Make a justice league show now!!!

Hellblazer nuff said.

Why not stear away from the really popular ones, I think Captain Marvel would be good. Sandman (Wesley Dods) would also be great! They can take Smallville's place but they shouldn't be so awful

@ illuminatus, i think he'd be better suited for an "Avengers" sequel.

batman, do the first season where he is traveling the world, getting training. be perfect opportunity for many chameos.

I'd say Batman... aka Bruce Wayne.

@Intruder: What most people meant was that it was never fully explored in greater detail. The one in Batman Begins was a condensed version and due to the stupidity of movie magic; he learned to be a "master fighter" in a short amount of time - which is stupid and unrealistic as all hell - he NEVER learned to become a detective AT ALL. One of the drives for him on his journey was to figure out how "evil" can take root, etc etc... and where the hell was that in the movie? One of the few redeeming things about Burton's first Batman film was that it mentioned and showed a little of Bruce/Bat's side as a detective and problem solver in cracking Joker's bioweapon. One of my main beefs in Nolan's Batman was that he rarely had to think outside of being a thug in a costume most of the time and thanks to Lucius Fox, he relied too much on his gadgets more often than not. He didn't even crack Scarecrow's fear toxin and let Lucius do all the work in that area. And I doubt Lucius wasn't that much of an idiot to figure out who was behind the mask the moment he saw the news broadcast of the tumbler going on a rampage in Gotham's streets, much less the request for the fear toxin antidote.

Back in the comic books, he's already started his mythic journey basically from childhood - from dealing with the grief of his parents murder to becoming the obsessive-compulsive Batfreak we know he is today. A TV series could expand on those mythos rather than the snippets an inaccurate Batman Begins movie origin laid out.... never once did RA's refer to him as a "detective" or even provide the training for him to be one when he was training him to be his supposed heir.

To be fair, if this is CW's next project, they can just as much screw it up as they did for Smallville.... but since Bruce's past origins can take many forms and isn't clearly established, even a network like CW can't completely mess it up any more than what they did to Superman's supposedly established background.
