You loved '
Smallivlle'. You wanted to love '
Birds of Prey'. Now The CW is taking another pass at adapting the Batman family for the teen drama crowd with the just-announced series '
The Graysons'.
Variety reports that current '
Smallville' showrunners Kelly Soulders and Brian Petersen, as well as '
Supernatural' executive producer McG are developing a pilot for the new show that will follow the world of Dick "DJ" Grayson, the boy who will eventually become Robin.
Souders, Peterson, McG and Peter Johnson (of McG's Wonderland Sound and Vision shingle) will exec produce.
With '
Smallville' getting a bit long in the tooth, The CW sees the Batman prequel as a a likely successor.
Specifics of the show's story content have not yet been revealed, so its unclear if the show will be set in a circus, with The Graysons as trapeze performers as they are in the comics.
What do you think? Will 'The Graysons' be the next 'Smallville'. Or will this Robin smash into a window pane like the 'Birds of Prey before it? Who do you see cast as the burgeoning Boy Wonder? Post your comments below!
