DC Property into a TV Series

[MadVillainy]

not gonna happen anyways

 

[GL1]

That... could be awesome. How easily my doubts are allayed by one simple rumor. So sad.

 

[Mr. Earle]

It could be awesome yeah, but i'd rather get a new awesome Batman movie franchise that is closer to the comics and gives them the freedom to do WF and JL movies.

To be honest though a tv series makes sense. They are too scared to continue Nolan's work (or he doesnt allow them to), and they dont want to reboot again either. So they drop it and do a tv series loosely based on the nolanverse.

 

[Jordacar]

Consider my interest piqued.

Well the one positive to this would be they have the costume and batmobile from the movies to use which are part of the problem with TV series. They simply don't have the money to pull off the costumes and sets. Batman I think could easily be done for tv because of the detective angle so it wouldnt have to be an hour of action.

 

[GL1]

Yeah, Batman would work best as a CSI-with-a-twist (other than just location) Detective show.

A Batman TV series could easily play into movies and have a Batman that shows up in a JL movie. By easy I mean in terms of story lines, continuity and so on. Legal issues and the stupidity of WB are always another matter.

A TV series would be a great way to break from the Nolan interpretation of Batman and start fresh.

The rumor is 100% BS.

Urban has feature film commitments currently too.

Source? You could be right, but do you have any proof?

 

[Man of Tomorrow]

I am right.

It is **************, that site is a cesspool of straight up lies. They are clearly just trying to get attention for their embarrassing site yet again from the gullible.

Considering how the features division and Nolan were adamant about the live action Batman rights being solely reserved for the films, there is no way in hell this lie is anywhere close to being true.

Especially now when the film franchaise is an Academy Award winning Billion Dollar one. If The Dark Knight Rises is a success, there is no way they will kill the features to do a TV series.

The part about Urban is laughable given he has commitments with projects like Judge Dredd and Star Trek already

That's still all speculation with no proof.

Regardless of truth, Urban would make an awesome Batman.

 

[Mr. Earle]

^ I think so too.

Thanks to all you folks here for keeping the discussion interesting:

Why a Batman live-action TV series is a good idea

 

[Jordacar]

Perhaps they could do the Dark Knight type armor, but put spandex type material over it.

Anybody know who made this?

 

[Artistsean]

I made it.

 

[Jordacar]

I made it.

Great work!
Is it not on your deviant page because WB is weird?

 

[Artistsean]

Thanks so much.
I tried to load them, deviantart wouldn't let me.

 

[Jordacar]

So I guess deviantart is weird. What else is new?

That was fun. It's pretty simple, and from a creative standpoint, a no-brainer. Of course, there are a billion reasons why its a bad idea, and they all have George Washington's face on them. If WB have any reason to think they can get 500M+ out of a Batman 4, much less a Batman 4-6 with a new creative team... if they try to turn this into their James Bond, you can kiss a live action TV show goodbye, quite possibly, forever.

Thanks for sharing that. Either he thinks just like I do, or he quoted me from this post. t:

 

[Artistsean]

Thats a long article, can someone summary. Didn't I hear something about Batman being made into a live action TV series after Dark Knight Rises? Sort of like the rumblings about a Blade tv series after Trinity. And it would explain why the Brave and the Bold is getting canceled... I guess.

So I guess deviantart is weird. What else is new?

Whats new with me?

Yeah, I kinda did. Thanks for the idea!

So I'm watching "The Cape", and (like many of you I'm sure) I can't help wondering how much more awesome a Batman show might be. When the Orwell plot started, something occurred to me about Barbara Gordon.

Basically, I realized a way to make her Oracle long before she becomes Batgirl. And I'm not talking about paralyzing her.

It would go something like this: (Babs is like 15 by this point.) It's business as usual in Gotham until a mysterious hacker pops up, feeding tips to Batman and the cops, etc. It takes Batman an episode or two to figure out who it is, and he confronts her in her bedroom. batman:"Isn't it past your bedtime...Oracle?")

He'd do the whole "this isn't some kid's game" bit, but she explains her reasons for doing it, that she wants to help her Dad and stuff. Before he leaves, little Babs is all "Please don't tell my dad."

Overtime, Babs gets more proactive (like on TAS "Heart of Steel"), sees more front-line action, and then dons the Batgirl suit. And best of all, the writers could pull off all of this even if they have no intention whatsoever of paralyzing her later on.

My pleasure.

I really like that idea. Babs as Gordon's daughter would have an easy in to the police computers and the character could add a lot to the stories by showing things from her point of view and so on.

I've always thought that the role of Gordon's son in TDK should have gone to his daughter instead, kind of hinting that her encounter with Batman would make an impression on her and affect her in the future.

Dial "H" for Hero is my choice for a tv show.
