Why are they affraid to do a Batman tv series


Besides Adam West i mean.We got Comissioner Gordon, Batgirl (3 times now if you count Birds of prey) and Pennyworth.We even got Robin with Titans.Considering how iconic and massively popular Batman is you'd think cashing in on an origin tv series like Smallville would be a no brainer.

Wasn't that what Gotham turned out to be?

Gotham was a Gordon origin story.Bruce Wayne was there but he wasn't the focus.

I think DC considers Batman their most valuable asset and don't want to delude it with TV shows.

The many TV incarnations of Superman have weakened his film appeal

You make a good point. There's gold in them thar hills...

"Considering how iconic and massively popular Batman is you'd think cashing in on an origin tv series "

you mean like ... Gotham?? Which I pretty much enjoyed quite a bit ...

Batman is their golden goose. They're gonna be VERY considered in their decisions about using him in anything.

You would think "Gotham" would've led right into a Batman series.

Maybe there could be a spin-off series with one of Batman’s villains as the main character. Like a Joker series or a live-action Harley & Ivy series.

They tried that in the 60s and it was ridiculous. Time to move on from any future Batman series

The theme tune was like a fast-paced version of Bananarama's Na Na Hey Hey (Kiss Him Goodbye).
