SEASON ONE
Season One will be based on the the events of Batman Begins, The Dark Knight and The Dark Knight Rises but will be more fantasical than Nolan's films whilst still continuing the same tone, look and feel of those films bringing them to the small screen in all its glory. The main theme of my season will be about the "Rise of the Freaks", with characters like Hush, Black Mask, Bane, Catwoman all appearing in Gotham. The Season Finale will involve an Arkham Asylum Break out with a special guest appearance by The Joker played by Joseph Gordon Levitt. The main love interest will be Vicki Vale who is a reporter trying to uncover Batman's identity whilst being sexual attracted to Batman, whilst starting a relationship with playboy Bruce Wayne.

SEASON TWO
Season Two picks up where Season One left off with the Joker leading Gotham's villains running riot on the streets which ends up resulting in the death of Vicki Vale who is held as bait to Batman with the Joker finding out his secret identity. After the Joker is captured and put back in Arkham, more and more freaks emerge in Gotham and will feature characters like Killer Croc, Poison Ivy, Hugo Strange . The Season Finale of Season Two will involve villain Tony Zucco killing the parents of Dick Grayson who is taken in by Bruce Wayne, who accidentally uncovers his secret as Batman.

SEASON THREE
Season Three will involve the Dynamic Duo season, with Robin wanting revenge against Tony Zucco whilst trying to prove himself to Batman. Dick also starts dating Barbara Gordon. The theme of Season Three will be Redemption and a new beginning for Bruce who looks to cut ties with everybody including Dick. The new love interest introduced will be Silver St Cloud.

MrDCU: I WILL ADD PHOTOS LATER ON IN THE DAY I DON'T REALLY HAVE THE TIME TO FINISH IT. THEY WILL BE ON IN ABOUT 1 HOUR

I knew someone would inevitably make this. Its pretty good anyway but perhaps Christina Hendricks could be Poison Ivy :P, and no Robin please!

@george97 i dont understand y every has hate for robin...robin is a huge huge partt of the batman mythology imo robin is what keeps batman sane so robin is needed and imo if done rite can be great as a darker characterl ike batman....

this is rele good except i think the JGL is a much betta riddler than joker i think Adrien Brody could be a good joker in special appearances as well

i dont hate Robin, i actually like him as a character in the COMICS by why screw up a series like this with him. If he were to be in it i would expect him to be introduced at like season 4,5? so we have had Batman fight most of his rogues gallery so Robin is introduced to keep the series fresh and not recycling old stuff.

MRDC @ YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

Someone with vision, I'm all for BOMER for a TV series BATMAN!!!



He owns on 'WHITE COLLAR!'

He makes a near perfect young Bruce Wayne!!

Though I still like CRISPIN GLOVER for JOKER... big or small screen, same goes for HENDRICKS as POWER GIRL!

But damn nice casting dude, awesome stuff!

Would luv 2 see this a TV series!

George97/yankeemanf @ Robin's cool for this later on in the series, tho Robin should stay out of the movie franchise! : P

i dont mind having robin in it at all just tweek his costume, and bomer would be great as the tv batman, he was auditioned for batman begins but lost out, and i think the rumour about karl urban being the potential candidate is BS he would be great but he has good film career going on at the moment

I'm surprised no one has been screaming Jon Hamm for Batman lol
Maybe 10yrs ago he woulda been decent but that guys Superhero days are done. For Bats n Supes anyway.

@LEEE http://www.comicbookmovie.com/batman_movies/news/?a=25237 CHECK IT and the the graysons tv series was scrapped i think a nightwing series would work better

MrDCUniverse: I have a problem with this fancast
you have alot of GREAT picks, but no photos or why
you picked them.

Your BATMAN,ALFRED,L.FOX,and BLACK MASK are spot
on, but some info would've made this fancast
stand TALL!! Anyway nice ideas by the way for
the storyline just not sure about Levitt being
the Joker...Im thinking William Defoe not sure
if I spelled his name right. The guy who played
the GREEN GOBLIN he has that crazed lunatic thing
about him and he's a seasoned actor.

IBZ @ Cheers dude, just been there lol, pretty cool news!

Yeah, I know GRAYSONS was scrapped... thank [frick] lol... a NIGHTWING series would own!!!


BLADE @ Yeah, a bit more info would be cool on why the actors, ya rite!

Good cast, especially for TV. Bomer could probs pass as a TV Bats but I don't think he'd be great, he doesn't really look like he can strike the "fear of the night" into Gotham's underbelly y'know.

BLADE4040 - 11/15/2010, 2:23 PM
Yea like I said the general audience
would accept a Nightwing series
quicker than Batman or Superman.

Nightwing isnt as well known and
his costume doesnt come across
as silly as much as Supes or the
Bat to non comicbook followers.

Not too bad.

BLADE@ you're totally correct about a
NIGHTWING series being a better odds on favorite!

I really can't see a Batman TV series working.
But if they did it, BOMER is a damm good idea!

But guys like Cillian Murphy and JGL are too
big for TV. They're too busy with films. Besides
those actors were in Nolan's big screen films,
Batman for TV should be different.

This series would need to be populated with TV
actors instead of big box office actors.

But I like this idea and Bomer would make a
great TV Bats!

Im so [frick]ing sick of hearing people complain about Nightwing getting a t.v. series, he was supposed to have one called Graysons about before he was batman's no.2 but people bitched and kept that from happening, so i really don't want to hear about people saying give nightwing a show. Im glad their doing a Batman show instead of a Batman Reboot. Leave Nolan's film work alone, he saved batman from an eternity of development hell. I would rather have seen an Ultimate Spider-Man T.V. Series(I'm working on a bible for it) then the reboot. So i'm in favor of a Post DKR t.v. series.

Love Bomer as Bats, he and Jeff Donovan(Burn Notice would make you understand) would be my top choices

@ Blade & DDD- I have said before on this site that I would love a Nightwing series based off of the first story arc in his series. Other than Blockbuster they really would not have to use too much CGI. They would need a great stuntman for Nightwing though. Too be honest though I would even settle for a Nightwing animated series.

@Robert Garlen- I dont think that people had a problem with Dick getting a series but more with the direction they were going to take with the show. Dick Grayson is my all time favorite comic book character and even I'm not sure I would have wanted to see a show based on his early years before Batman.

By the way nice casting and I think Bomer would make a very good Bruce. I thought he would have made a good Gambit as well.
