A story about Dick's journey to becoming Nightwing would be so much better than a prequel to to him becoming Robin

A Message From Souders & Peterson Regarding "The Graysons"
Smallville's executive producers Brian Peterson and Kelly Souders have written in with a message to the fans at KryptonSite, clearing up some reports that had been made implying that Smallville may be on its way out...
Dear Smallville fans,
As news and rumors swirl around the development of The Graysons for the CW, we have every intention of letting you, our fans, be the first to know the reality. Never have we been so committed to the continuing success of Smallville as we are to seasons 8 and 9. While we are extremely excited to be working hand-in-hand with Wonderland, Warner Bros. and the CW to create the origin story of Dick Grayson, it has never been intended as a replacement for Smallville, as is speculated in some media. The cast, crew, writers and producers are all working full-steam ahead on a story-line for Clark that allows for seasons of further trials and adventures for our favorite hero. As always, we all have you to thank for achieving eight years of this amazing show that Al and Miles created, and we're looking far beyond!

Indeed.
If CW really wants a superhero show to step up in the event of Smallville's demise, I see no better candidate than Green Arrow.
"The Graysons" has a 50/50 chance of being horrible, while Justin Hartley is just made of awesome. So it's an easy choice if I were head of WB/CW.
Yes, but they can't do a GA spin-off if Hartley is still a reg on SV (S9).ITA. A GA spinoff with Justin at least has a good chance of a built in fanbase following it.
Well, to play Devil's Advocate, a LOT of people couldn't see the appeal of a Superman show if he didn't wear the costume or even fly. Yet here we are, eight seasons later and still going strong.But Dick Grayson? I can't imagine the appeal to.. anyone.
Nah. This is the same network that published "OMFG" ads everywhere to promote Gossip Girl. I don't think they're afraid of pushing the envelope.I am pretty amused that they are calling him, "DJ." Are they really that worried about a male lead being called, "Dick?"

heh funny story. On the old Incredible Hulk TV show, CBS made the show's producers rename Bruce Banner into "David Banner" because the execs thought "Bruce" was too gay of a name (honest to God). Glad to see Hollywood hasnt changed much in 25 years....

Oh c'mon. Who wants to watch a show about a traveling circus? a Graysons show sounds like the worst idea in the world. a Nightwing, or even Robin show could be awesome.
the whole concept is flawed because it's based on a sidekick .
Batman will be to the Graysons what the super suit is to Smallville. Once he/it shows up, the point of the show is over.
so I guess the series finale of the show will consist of Dick's parents dying and Bruce taking him in? They should really lay off anything related to Batman since you can't use him on tv. They should focus on a Green Arrow show or something.
