CW's Graysons takes flier on Robin

*cries*

Don't touch my Dick Grayson. Don't. My fave Batman character. Noooooo.

I guess they are looking to have it replace SV if that show isn't renewed. If SV is renewed, it could play alongside SV. So, what that would do to SPN, I don't know.

It's being produced by Smallville's Souders and Peterson, and Supernatural's McG.

Mind you, I was super skeptical of Smallville when it first aired and was surprised that I enjoyed it. But I remain skeptical for a show like this. What kind of story can you tell about a boy before he is taken under by Bruce Wayne? I don't want to think about how bad this will conflict with Batman canon. I sort of go lalalalala with Smallville as it is.

I still think they should just go with a Green Arrow spin-off. Oh well. We'll see.

So will this be Robin: The Wonder Years?

I do like the "acrobat" background of young "Master Dick". (Hee, they even mentioned Nightwing in the Variety article! I still have the issue where he became nightwing! [/comic geek]

it sounds like a soap opera. Oh CW.

But see, they are "reimagining" his background so heaven knows what they're doing to him.

Happy birthday, btw :)

Thank you. I'm going out for Chinese for supper. Mmmm.

*goes to reread Deranged. My first ever fandom birthday prezzie (and still one of my favorites).

You know. I remember going, please, Clark as a teenager in Smallville--okay, but Lex Luthor living in town and they're best buddies? PLEASE, give me a break!

And the Clark/Lex dynamic is one of the best things from the series as a whole! (Er, not that...you know what I mean!)

I know. That is why I refused to watch it.

I was like Clark? A teen? Pssh. I wasn't so interested in his high school life with Lana. And Lex Luthor in his childhood? Friends? Where's my canon!!

(I later learned that this actually has happened in the comics before so silly me.)

But it turned out awesome. I miss Lex :(

That said I still don't know if I want to watch Dick "DJ" Grayson and his loves.

Unless it's Dick/Barbara for which I am shameless.
