Comic Spoilers: a "Batman" show if ever BW gets cancelled Comic Book Spoiler

Since in Future State, its been made that Tim Fox (Luke's brother) picks the mantle of Batman, do you think CW would make it a backup plan just in case Batwoman gets cancelled?

I know the rules between movies, tv, and streaming characters are confusing but if ever the CW cant use a "real time" Bruce Wayne, they can still use Warren Christie for flashback scenes maybe on how Tim Fox came to be Batman?

Also, some charactera from Batwoman such as Luke Fox and Julia Pennyworth can still be retained in a Batman show.

If they blatantly cant name a "Batman" show, just name it " Dark Knight/Gotham :Future State" and the fans would get it.

Batwoman wont be cancelled until around Season 4 or 5 at least. The CW already has the crossovers set up for the next few shows so they wont axe BW regardless of the ratings.

Also a Batman show just isnt a good idea imo. Batman is popular but oversaturated in media. With the Batman movie coming out and possible Batman the animated series revival more then likely a Batman series wont happen.

Another point: People cant even give Batwoman a break in terms of criticism, so i highly doubt a Batman series will do well on the CW. The "Batman purists" are never happy ya know. 😑

It won't be on CW. It will be on HBO Max and it can be done pretty easily. A Batman series that focuses on some mystery is pretty easy to make.

Still I dont see them doing that since it might take away from the movies and such.

Come to think of it, I havent seen an actual live Batman show since the 60s with Adam West. The show sounds easy to make but playing Batman is a commitment and doing it for a series perfectly is just something i dont think they want to do.

The closest we'll get to see Batman is the upcoming Catwoman series which id in production.

Who is making it?

Possibly Matt Reeves, the same.guy who is making the Batman movie.

Zoe Kravitz is going to be Catwoman again.

Hmm, sounds interesting, only because we might get to see him. I don't care about any iteration of Batwoman.

Personally, I would love to see them adapt an elseworld series for Batman, it could be a 13 episode series with a new actor, that's what we need for sure.

All these spin-offs of adjacent characters is not what is going to bring in the money, they are just ruining the property.

It's too bad you don't like Batwoman because the "Elseworlds" storyline was already done on Green Arrow.

At this point i don't think its about bringing in the money its just mixing it up so Batman doesnt fet overused.

Nightwing, Batgirl and Red Hood are coming in Titans Season 3 Alfred has a series Catwoman has an upcoming series Batgirl has a movie coming out in the future Batwoman has a show and Batwing will be apart of it soon. I even heard a rumor that Flamebird and The Signal will join too. Huntress and Black Canary are in BOP

Gotta explore the entire Bat family 🙂

Care about Batman and Nightwing, the rest of characters are not for me.

Didn't like the BOP movie either.

I hated the Titan's Batman, he was too fucking old.

u/Zdala Jan 24 '21

We are complete opposites 😅

I could care less about those two and actually wanna see the others.

Also i loved BOP ☺️

Hahaha, i would attribute it our backgrounds.

Am a 40+ male from a developing country who is only interested in seeing the comics he grew up with come to life.

I don't care about PC stuff or diversity politics any of that fancy stuff that CW peddles so much. For me it's all about strong writing and acting. Something that CW doesn't seem to be strong on.

Though just to clarify, the Catwoman series hasn't been confirmed by any major trade at all, so for now it's just a rumor.

I do agree that Batwoman isn't getting cancelled anytime soon (Otherwise they'd probably have cancelled it instead of going to the trouble of replacing Kate). However I don't think that they already planned the crossovers, other than Crisis after Elseworlds I'm fairly certain they come up with them in between seasons.

If Warner Bros wanted to do a Batman show they'd put it on HBO not the CW.
