Most definatly, Batman has kept Superman's cinematic "King of the Superheroes" throne warm for long enough. It's time that he reclaimed. |

I think we've waited long enough for a GOOD Superman film. They should focus on film rather than TV for Superman.

It was in regards to the budget issue.
The SV producers have said many times Smallville focuses mainly on relationships, character issues and drama because there isn't a budget to do an Action series on the CW. Maybe for other heroes on other networks, it could work. Action shows like DC's "Human Target" and Fox's "24" are great. Superman, however, can't get the popularity the character needs on a 'no flights, no tights' CW drama. Superman belongs in the movies. They never managed to do the character right on television without making major compromises. George Reeves' show was a campy kids show. Dean Cain's was a campy romantic comedy. Smallville was a 'no flight, no tights (no Superman)' CW drama. And Superboy..... Yeah, no need to mention that one. |

Also, since Robin rightfully won't be in the Nolan Bat films, you could easily do a Nightwing series that kicks off with Dick Grayson moving to Bludhaven. Just cover everything in an opening sequence voiceover and move on.
However, the Graysons idea sounds horrible, right up the CW alley. Idiots!

Considering Superman has been on our TV screens for more than 20 years nonstop. I think it could do with a break now after Smallville ends.
We had Superboy from 1988 to 1992. then Lois and Clark from 1993 to 1997. and Smallville from 2001 to 2011. We've basically had Superman for the last 20 years on our tv screens in some fashion. Let the new movie have its moment now. |

They just need to stop trying to put "twists" on Superman to pull in the housewives and teen girls crowd. There still is the question of budget though. Honestly, I think Batman would fit perfectly for tv. Shows like Angel prove that tv can do the costumes/makeup and fight scenes a Batman series would need.

I'm really impressed with the action on DC's Human Target, it's a great action series.
I'd like to see another non-features DC property adapted similarly. |

The Green Arrow has series (or film) potential.
Not the flamboyant Smallville version, but one based on "The Longbow Hunters" Mike Grell stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vzTu-r03vhE They could keep the tone similar to Nolan's Batman. |

New film with no relation to Smallville please.
Although I would be interested in a Green Arrow spin-off, I would still prefer to see a Blue Beetle series. |

Johns' proposed Blue Beetle show looks like something for little kids:
