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.

Ugh.... why don't they just do a full-fledged Justice League spinoff? That seems to be what they're attempting to have Smallville turn into, simply without Clark ever getting any powers or doing anything useful. Will DC not let them or something? *sigh* Leave poor Robin alone, guys.

Yes, leave the Robin alone. Grr.

I'd watch a JLA spin-off. A Green Arrow spin-off. But this? This sounds a bit scary.

I just think a JLA spin-off makes so much sense for them. Think of all the drama, all the characters they'd have to draw from.... They could follow DC canon and it would essentially be a soap opera, especially if Ollie and Dinah stay on. :) They could even keep Tom Welling if they wanted. It has so many more possibilities than a show about an acrobat who, presumably after the show, becomes a sidekick. Just no. *sigh*
