The Graysons are NOT coming to CW!

'DJ': "Quick! The only way out of this burning building is... that thin piece of wire hanging dangerously over the ground!"

Comic relief guy: *looking down* "Looks like there's no choice about not using a safety net this time DJ..."

 

[The Question]

If his best buddy is Deathstroke's dead son, I'm gonna have to slap a *****.

 

[Gilpesh]

Watch a tutor he gets to help him learn.... turn out be Edward Nigma.

Or even worse...

One of the clowns at the circus... is a bit 'off'. Wink wink nudge nudge say no more.

I DON'T GET IT. EXPLAIN IT TO ME.

this perpetual fear of costumes the cw has is getting very stupid.

deej's costume will be his circus outfit I guess

 

[04nbod]

Ugh. Will he, too, have a human guise, a la Braniac? Ugh.

I keep saying that if smallville uses darkseid it will be in the seven soldiers 'Dark Side' way

for Cmill- '(Swimmer also told me there's ongoing discussion about introducing Darksied as well, so hang in there for developments on that.)' http://uk.eonline.com/uberblog/watch_with_kristin/b26247_smallville_whats_in_store_season_eight.html

 

[Nivek]

I wonder if the overwhelming fan negativity is getting to the right people, along with the positive suggestions of a post-Robin Nightwing show would get more positive interest?

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Doubtful. People with enough pull to effect change on the concept don't pay attention to us little people, and even if they did, they'd just say we don't know what the project is really like, we ought to give it a chance, blah blah blah.

 

[Nivek]

Screw that, all I have to say about that is that these producers should realize that while Robin is populer in comics (more or less more mature takes on him like Nightwing and the Tim Drake Robin), no one likes him as a live action character.

 

[The Squirrel]

Maybe this is going to be the pre-Chris O'donnell Robin. Since that was a pretty old Robin.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I think Tim could work as a live-action character. He's functionally no different from Spider-Man, and he's got Batman involved for that extra PR kick.

 

[NoirMan82]

Looking at the poll alone should let the CW know where this thing is headed.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

We're a pretty small subset of the national TV audience.

 

[Gilpesh]

We're a pretty small subset of the national TV audience.

And we're smaller than the teenage girl tv audience... and less vocal.

 

[Philly Phanboy]

Doubtful. People with enough pull to effect change on the concept don't pay attention to us little people, and even if they did, they'd just say we don't know what the project is really like, we ought to give it a chance, blah blah blah.

Poor initial reaction killed Mercy Reef though and that show at least made some sense with Aquaman being one of Smallville's most popular cameos. This Grayson idea has epic fail written all over it.

 

[The Question]

Also, Mercy Reef was somewhat Aquaman like. This....not so much with the Dick Grayson.

 

[The Squirrel]

I liked the Mercy Reef pilot. But at least that still had some super powers and super powered bad guys.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I wasn't a fan of it. I'm not a fan of the underlying concept of any of these shows, essentially co-opting superheroes to star as teen heartthrobs in vaguely comic-tinged soap operas.

 

[titan101]

why the **** didn't they just make a nightwing series ? who gives a **** about him pre-robin ?

 

[The Question]

I wasn't a fan of it. I'm not a fan of the underlying concept of any of these shows, essentially co-opting superheroes to star as teen heartthrobs in vaguely comic-tinged soap operas.

Well, the "start when he's young" angle probably works best for Aquaman, as his origin story is his being born, and unlike Superman, there wasn't the same kind of significant "debut" as Aquaman. There was just his regaining his throne and the build up to it.

 

[Havok83]

Screw that, all I have to say about that is that these producers should realize that while Robin is populer in comics (more or less more mature takes on him like Nightwing and the Tim Drake Robin), no one likes him as a live action character.

They should create a series of him as Nightwing, not Robin

 

[kapow]

do a nightwing show thats the only way dick sorry i mean dj grayson will hold a tv series with out batman.
by doing nightwing it will bring more intrest to the charater and bring the sales of the comic book up. andi dont think the titans movie will happen any time soon so why not use this show to get the lesser heroes out there for people to see. have it so the team are around but nightwing is no longer a part of it.

i belive that the reason the cw wants to do a pre robin series is so they dont have to use costumes. as they did with birds of prey look how well that show did.(dont no y they didnt want costumes when they did show batman ,batgirl and catwoman in bop)

 

[Matt.S99]

For some odd reason, im really looking forward to this cuz i know they can make it good. I just hope it doesnt last as long as SV, cuz it will get boring after a while.
