I agree a Pre-Robin series would suck why make a show about a pre-teen circus performer who had a pretty easy life until his parents were killed , met bruce and became Robin. If i were to do a show about Dick Grayson i would set it as having an adult Dick moving to Bludhaven and becoming Nightwing. Add in some emotional issues with Bruce Wayne and a new supporting cast (kinda like how smallville created Clhoe Sullivan) and u might have a hit u can even crossover with smallville saying that batman exsisted long before Clark became Superman

i have to agree with the rest of them. If they could ever get the copyright issue resolved, and bring in Bruce Wayne to smallville, then later start up a batman show… that would be good. but i don’t really like the idea of sidekicks. they just ham everything up, because they are goofy. but maybe they could bring Dick Grayson in right away as night wing. cause face it. robin is goofy sidekick and the costume looks just as lame as supermans (tights with underware on the outside). why do you think they don’t put clark in costume in Smallville.

Lets just hope that there can be a Batman series.

Ditto, huge mistake that will be mercifully cancelled in less than a month. Just do some other teen angst show about original characters and do not muck up the origin and identity of a well-liked and well-established (for 60 years) heroic character. This show is doomed to fail rapidly, so unless the producers plan to lose a lot of money intentionally, they should just back out now and let this turkey fold before it has a chance to embarrass its rip-off-quasi-creators.

I don’t like it.
Robin doesn’t have enough charisma to have his own show.
Aquaman should replace Smallville.The pilot was fantastic.

Pre-Robin series? So they’re making a show about a kid in a circus?
While I LOVE the idea of a Robin series, a pre-robin series doesn’t have anything to offer fans of Robin or Batman. Unlike Smallville, they cant use the villains to play of and Dick Grayson has no special powers so I cant see any appeal and it looks like a huge mistake.
Aquaman anyone?
