We already know that Wonder Woman is on her way back to the small screen, but while that character has yet to find a network, the slightly obscure choice of Raven has already found a home at the CW and is being lined up for her own series! Here are some excerpt from the report over at Variety:

The CW is looking to adapt "Raven," a half-demon also known as Rachel Roth, into a series. Diego Gutierrez, who most recently served as co-exec VP on "V," is writing and will exec produce.

Gutierrez spent several seasons on "Without a Trace." His other credits include "The Shield," "Kingpin," "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Dawson's Creek."

Project has a script order at the CW through Warner Bros. TV and DC Entertainment.

"Raven" reps the latest attempt by the C-Dub to find a suitable comic-themed replacement for "Smallville," which is set to retire at the end of this season.


A half-human, half-demon, Raven came to the mortal world at age 16 and took the name Rachel Roth, becoming a member of the Teen Titans. Clad in a purple hood, Raven has the ability to mentally project and teleport her soul away from her body as well as make use of empathic powers to read other beings minds.

Of all the Teen Titan characters they could have used, I would have preferred Nightwing or even Beast Boy over Raven.
LEEE777
LEEE777 - 12/3/2010, 4:51 PM


NIGHTWING a must!!!

Interesting, hope to see an occasional Tom as Supes cameo and all the other heroes and villains that appeared on Smallville. I would've much rather loved to have a Blue & Gold show, or just that Blue Beetle show Geoff Johns was talking about.

If it happens I'll reserve judgement till stuff about the show is revealed and when I see the pilot if there is one.


@deadpool72

The biggest problem with Smallville is it's premise it is a Superman show that cannot be Superman if Raven is a superhero show then it could have an edge on Smallville just like a Wonder Woman show could or Blue Beetle or any actual DC superhero in costume with action.

Dane @ BLUE & GOLD with the real BLUE BEETLE of course TED! ; )

davidcub - 12/3/2010, 4:55 PM
Seems an odd choice but I'll give it a shot. If it's true, the silver lining is: if this is Smallville's replacement, that means Wonder Woman won't be!

AlReg - 12/3/2010, 4:58 PM
@LEEE777

I think Jaime could stand more of a chance then Ted because people may judge him as a Batman copy.
marvel72
marvel72 - 12/3/2010, 5:00 PM
okay i give this a chance,but if i see anything about this thats remotely like smallville.

they might use cyborg from smallville,oh dear.

I can see her tits, lol.

LEEE777 - 12/3/2010, 5:05 PM
AlReg @ [frick] no man, you can't beat the real BEETLE!



It ain't the Blue & Gold team without TED!


DP @ Cool!

Havoc @ Lol, hey all covered! ; p

Really? That's the character they want to go with? At least do Robin or Red Robin. That could have some promise. Or even a Nightwing TV series. Fanboys probably lean more towards that...

I don't think Raven has the merit to have her own show... Love the character, but I'm just being realistic. If it was all of the titans that would be different. But Raven by herself? Not gonna work.

LEEE777: NICE CHOICE for NIGHTWING he has the
look athletic lean body that NIGHTWING should
have..YEA he could WORK!!

RAVEN could be interesting.. just make it a little
DARKER than VAMPIRE DIARIES and SUPERNATURAL .
I doubt they'll follow the SMALLVILLE universe atleast I hope not!

@GreenLanternSector2814

I think the problem with side kick characters is that could end up being to dependent with their established hero.

@DP
You know I respect your opinion on Smallville, but I have to say this. Hasn't the CW learned their lesson?? Smallville has ran for 10 seasons and it will go out on a good note (Better than some shows, It will actually get a season finale) You gotta at least respect that no matter how much you hate the show.

I hope you give this Raven show a chance if it ends up happening (which I kinda hope it doesnt)

NIGHTWING NEEDS TO HAVE A CHANCE!

@ Lee- great nightwing pic.
I have always had a huge crush on Ricci.

airbeyonder18 - 12/3/2010, 5:19 PM
I don't necessarily like this idea. I'm more comfortable with Nighwing or Kid Flash

LEEE777 - 12/3/2010, 5:31 PM
BLADE @ Wicked stuff dude, and yeah lets hope they don't follow the Smallville verse lol! : P

BruceWayneNewton @ Epic Win! ; D

Btw, did you figure out how to post pics yet, I left you a comment in the article you asked about it?

oh c'mon. raven? really? is she such a well known character to get a live action tv show based on her? better do a robin one...

I always liked Raven..but as part of the team. A very strange choice for a solo show indeed, unless they are planning to introduce the other team members too at some point.

If any of the other Titans show up:

@LEEE do you REALLY want a nightwing show on cw, because it seems like you hate the network,i want a nightwing tv show, show him just moving in to bludhaven and joining the police force trying to stay away from his costumed adventure but he eventually has to become nightwing, it would be great you could have alfred show up or even tim drake special appearance and show bruce in flashbacks, it would be great but raven is perfect for cw its there kinda show

I cant even pretend to be in the least bit interested or excited about this. Now, I admit that I've never read a comic book featuring this character, but there are soooo many other better choices they could have gone for when it comes to a TV series! Smallville has been around all this time because it not only managed to capture a solid fan base, but even the people who dont like it, will more than likely tune in because it's a show about SUPERMAN. Who the [frick] cares about Raven!? I'd bet anything that this gets cancelled before the first season even finishes airing, lol! :P

@LEEE somerhalder is perfect but if they cant get him, they should get milo ventimiglia

I'm very excited because Raven is an interesting character. Anyhow, I can't help but think this will drag on and be angsty.
Joe6Pack74
Joe6Pack74 - 12/3/2010, 6:21 PM
I would actually like them to do a reboot on the Birds of Prey TV show. Its not a terrible book and the TV show got it wrong. As a solo show I would like a Zatanna show, but on FOXNEWS. FOX News has the hottest babes.
