Would you like to see Bruce Wayne get the "Smallville" treatment?

[samurainoir]

The adventures of a Young Bruce Wayne traveling the world to gain the skills necessary to becoming The Dark Knight?

Casting Choices? Would you like to see him with or without Alfred with him, making smartass comments?

Encountering Talia and Ras Al Ghul? Henri Ducard? Richard Dragon and Shiva?

From Wikipedia;

Originally, Tollin/Robbins Productions wanted to do a series about a young Bruce Wayne. The feature film division of Warner Bros. had decided to develop an origin movie for Batman, and because they did not want to compete with a television series, the series idea was nixed.[6] In 2000, Tollin/Robbins approached Peter Roth, the President of Warner Bros. Television, about developing a series based on a young Superman. That same year, Alfred Gough and Miles Millar developed a pilot based on the film Eraser. After watching the pilot, Roth approached the two men about developing a second pilot, based on the young Superman concept that was brought to him.[6] After meeting with Roth, Gough and Millar decided that they did not want to do a series where there was lots of flying, and a cape.[6] It was here that Gough and Millar developed its "no tights, no flights" rule, vowing Clark would not, at any point, fly nor don the Superman suit during the run of the show.[59]

If it were to tie in to Batman Begins, I may be interested. Maybe picking up from the point where Bruce leaves Gotham an the freighter. But I'm afraid it would be ridiculously expensive. And I don't think the Smallville game of "spot the other superheroes" would play as well with Bruce as the main character.

No, not again.

I think if done well, it could be a very interesting, engaging series. But at this point I'd honestly rather just see Bruce on Smallville. Everyone's wanted that since day one.

A TV series about Bruce Wayne? Of course I'd watch it...if it was well done, and they cast somebody who actually "looks" like Bruce Wayne.

As far as cost...it's cheaper than you think. Most People don't realize the most TV shows are shot against green Screen back drops. Even shows like C.S.I., but it's so well done...nobody notices.

Oh please no. One whiny icon is more than enough.

I don't think it would work. People would want to see Batman,not Bruce Wayne.

I don't know...I enjoyed the hell out of the first half of Batman:Begins. Even when he was wearing the Costume...he was still Batman to me.

Not unlike Smallville. The chalk scrawled S, black trench thing GOTTA go!

I don't think it would work. People would want to see Batman,not Bruce Wayne.

I'd rather see a Batman tv series!!

Well me too Brother!! But WB will never let it happen...they'd be to worried about their Movie franchise.

[Gremlin517]

Yeah, no, in fact Smallville needs to morph out of what it is into something a little more comic book friendly. Never again with this no costumes no capes thing...

You'll never see Bruce Wayne on Smallville.
Oliver Queen has been brought in to fill the "void" they left open for a Bruce Wayne Batman type character. Since Green Arrow is one of my favorite characters I guess I don't mind it too much except for the cheesy sun glasses.

There is too much paper work and movie "tie ups" that keep Batman out of this show for some reason.
I keep watching it recently since the JSA episode hoping that this will lead to somewhere. They keep hinting of a savoir.
I better see some red and blue outfit soon or the DVR is being altered...

Zod has powers now. Big deal.

I've stuck with Smallville, good & bad. It's the DCU cameos that intrigue me.

(That & Alan Richson, but never mind...)

I don't think it has ever been a great show, or even a great comic-book show--and I'd not like to see Batman treated similarly. Remember Birds of Prey? Yechh.

Batman--at least my concept of Batman--is battling the movie franchise right now.

Oh Hell No.......I don't want a hour of Bruce whining about the death of his parents and what is the meaning of his life....I want Batman Kicking the crap out of the Joker.......
