According to Variety, the CW is planning a new show called The Graysons as either a companion piece or replacement for Smallville. As you might guess from the name and its attachment to Smallville, The Graysons will focus on original Robin Dick Grayson’s life before he lost his parents and met Batman.
Don’t get me wrong, I love Dick Grayson as a character and I’m sure that the CW can wring drama out of just about anything, including an ultimately doomed family of trapeze artists, but since Dick Grayson had no connection to superheroics or crimefighting before he met Batman, wouldn’t a show about the time before he became Robin just be a show about a bunch of carnival folk?
Unless they think they can outdo Carnivale, I’m gonna pass on this one.
