Guest Lethargic Report post Posted November 27, 2002 I'm sure they'd like to make a Batman series if Warner Brothers would let them do it but they won't. They think it will take away from the movie they're never gonna make anyway. Warner was even talking about forcing the WB to cancell Smallville so it wouldn't intefere with the new Superman movie, until this year's ratings ended that retarded talk. Personally I never want to see a live action Batman TV series. The budgetary constrants of TV would never allow it to be done right. I'd rather have no Batman at all than a cheap looking Batman with old worn out suits left over from the crappy movies. Birds of Prey, I can take that cause it's just the Birds of Prey, who gives a rats ass if they don't do THEM justice? But if this was a Batman show and it looks the way it does, no thanks. No bad CGI Batman running across a roof for me, thank you very much. Actually they were going to make a Batman series, it was going to air back-to-back with Smallville and be called "Bruce Wayne" the show would focus on Bruce's 12 years abroad before he became Batman. However, the pre-Spider-Man world two comic books shows on the same night was deemed not financially viable. Uh, no. It was canned because Warner Brothers film department did not want a Bruce Wayne TV show on at the same time that they were making (they thought) a Year One movie. That was widely reported all over the place. And if you've read the script to that show you'd be happy it was canned. And actually some elements of that show were moved into the Birds of Prey show.

Guest areacode212 Report post Posted December 18, 2002 Hey, remember this crappy-ass show? Well, tomorrow, wel'll get a new episode, which appears to be a follow up to "Sins of the Mother" (I finally saw that episode last week, and it was actually pretty decent). The commercials for tomorrow's ep seemed OK too, but I guess we won't know for sure until we see it. It would be a shame if it got cancelled just as it was finding its voice.

Guest Lethargic Report post Posted December 18, 2002 The son of Clayface is going to be in the last episode. I was actually looking forward to seeing how in the world a Clayface character would work in live action, they seemed to figure out how to do it. He won't have Clayface's powers! Genius.

Guest areacode212 Report post Posted December 19, 2002 From this morning's Mediaweek Programming Insider: In some interesting news on the WB, the canceled Birds of Prey (#5, 3.3/ 5) at 9 p.m. actually built by 27 percent from its repeat Dawson’s Creek lead-in (#6: 2.6/ 4) while besting a repeat of UPN’s competing The Twilight Zone (#6: 2.4/ 3) by 37 percent. What was the rush to cancel this show? Did anyone watch it last night? I was going to, but something came up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Their official excuse is that they couldn't find a writer. That's right. Couldn't find a writer. How did they make the show without a writer to begin with then?? Retards. Didn't really miss anything last night. Pretty un-eventful. Not a bad episode just nothing that you really need to know except that cop dude arrested his dad I guess.

Voyager lasted SEVEN years by recycling the same 3 stories over and over and over again. Nowadays not having a writer is irrelevant. Anyways, I wouldn't be shocked to see WB pick up Firefly. Whedon seems to have a serious hard-on for his suck-ass show, and he has history with WB. Plus WB couldn't make the ratings any worse... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
