Oh Thank God. Someone came to their senses and decided not to go through with the proposed The Graysons TV series, the show that was going to go all Smallville on Batman’s sidekick, Dick Grayson, aka Robin. The proposed show was supposed to replace Smallville once that aging show went off the CW air, and would follow a teen Dick Grayson, or as he’s known in the show, “DJ” (yeah, WTF is right), as he learns about life, love, and other retarded stuff that people who watch the CW for anything other than Supernatural and Smallville care about. But have no fear, it’s been yanked!

Yikes. As if dragging Superman’s origins out for the last eight years wasn’t bad enough, the WB is now prepping a TV series based on the early life and times of Robin The Boy Wonder, aka Batman’s sidekick. But wait, it won’t be like any Robin you’ve seen before (which goes without saying, right? This thing is on the WB, after all), and the first hint that this Robin will be a barely recognizable shell of his comic book self is the name: yes, they’ve given Dick Grayson a nickname. DJ. Dick Grayon will now be known as “DJ” to his buddies. I shit you not. But then again, from the network that gave us a reboot of Beverly Hills 90210, Gossip Girl, and a relentless army of crappy teen melodramas as envisioned by 40-year old men, I guess we shouldn’t be too surprise.
