There has been an abundance of different series based around the characters and stories of Marvel, DC and beyond; from Daredevil to Doom Patrol, to the Arrowverse, to Legion to Riverdale to The Walking Dead, comic book TV shows are everywhere. But this wasn’t always the case, only a decade-or-so ago, superhero TV shows were a rare sight, with only a handful of shows existing on mainstream channels, and even fewer existing within years of each other. Years before any of the aforementioned beloved shows were ever even considered, there was a singular trailblazer that aimed to deliver a faithful, yet grounded, take on one of DC Comics’ iconic superheroes, years after his days on the big screen had seemingly ended, and proved an enormous success, spanning 10 seasons, 217 episodes, and almost 10 full years. I’m talking, of course, about Smallville… However, it may surprise you to learn that Smallville wasn’t always going to be a Superman TV show at all, and in fact, originally, the producers behind the series were heavily working on creating a similar-style of show about Batman, even going as far as planning multi-season arcs and plans that would follow Bruce Wayne from a scared orphan, to a Dark Knight of Justice. If before Superman, there was Smallville, then before Batman, there was Bruce Wayne, and in this video, I want to discuss how this proposed series came to be, how it would approach bringing Batman to the world of TV, and the factors that caused it to never see the light of day. ▶ Read the Pilot Script Here: http://thetelevisionpilot.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/06/Bruce_Wayne_1x01_-_Pilot.pdf ▶ Follow Owen Likes Comics: Website: http://www.owenlikescomics.com Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/owenlikescomics Instagram: http://www.instagram.com/owenlikescomics Soundcloud: http://www.soundcloud.com/owenlikescomics ▶ Thanks to HiTop Films for helping out in this video! /channel/UCDmd40nGOGL3IxKNVeRb9-w ▶ ▶ Watch More Owen Likes Comics: Comic Case Studies: /playlist/PLK-UuVTE1uAei1DiWA_45gfMs8sVSEKWh Latest Videos: /playlist/PLK-UuVTE1uAc9fK2qFdeZzx21pgjvgWWW Marvel Videos: /playlist/PLK-UuVTE1uAcNnIjGsrSYHhueLEBK5_sA DC Videos: /playlist/PLK-UuVTE1uAcgNX1tplCukF6DydNDwu1R ▶ Music Used: https://soundcloud.com/user-400507865/aso-sunsets https://soundcloud.com/iamharriscole/birds https://soundcloud.com/leavv/driftwood http://freemusicarchive.org/music/Lee_Rosevere/Music_For_Podcasts_3/03_The_Secret_to_Growing_Up https://soundcloud.com/chillhopdotcom/melodiesinfonie-meditation-on-god https://soundcloud.com/masked-man-peace/grandiose-soul-from-chillhop-essentials-fall-2018 https://soundcloud.com/joeypecoraro/singing-with-no-voice #Batman #Gotham #Smallville

@blackphoenix77منذ 5 سنوات I remember reading about this in Wizard Magazine back in the late 90s/early 2000s. When Smallville eventually came out, I figured that it had morphed from the Bruce Wayne concept, and it looks like I was right. 7

@joeycoe85قبل 9 أشهر Plus, in a TV format, you can really dive into the characters. SCARECROW, particularly, has never been done properly in ANY adaptation! He’s essentially FREDDY KRUEGER, if you think about it. But you have to set it up properly. Have the first couple of seasons focus on regular ORGANIZED CRIME, and slowly work in the ROGUES GALLERY that makes Batman so special. ....وسعت 1

The series later seasons became less enjoyable when they threw "You thought he/she id="hidden22" class="buttons"> was dead, right? WRONG!" plot twists along with playing around with the origins of the established villains (I'm looking at you, Butch/Solomon Grundy!). While this version could have been potentially faithful to the original concepts, like "Smallville" did after Season 5, I don't have much confidence that this wouldn't have done what "Gotham" did. ....وسعت 1

@Kal_gمنذ 5 سنوات I heard about this show. I'm surprised that Alfred Gough and Miles Millar were involved in its development.

@

@ezj8262منذ 5 سنوات That would have been better. considering Bruce Wayne's training seemed extremely rushed, like they took shortcuts. I didn't like the weird choice id="hidden31" class="buttons"> to add some kind of prophetic element with Ras Al Ghul. The comics do a much better job -- not creating a storyline that suggests that darkness elements came to Bruce Wayne under some prophetic notion that he would be anything. Not that he would be on the side of spiritual evil anyway, right? It's a better story, that he was self-motivated, and had an intense self-drive to seek out the best trainers in the world and develop his skills. not because anyone told him to, but because that's the kind of person he was. The origin story that Gotham did, really cheated the character. though this has nothing to do with David Mazouz as an actor or his portrayal. it's just the writing choices and the direction that they chose that I thought was weak.
The Alfred Pennyworth origin story "Pennyworth" is looking really good so far, even though I just watched the Pilot, though it felt like a full-length movie to me.

@briandaleske5139منذ 5 سنوات Now the (BRUCE WAYNE) show series might of been canceled for right now; But that doesn’t mean that someday down the line the writers aren’t going to go back to their writing pads.
I can imagine that maybe just maybe in a few years a (BRUCE WAYNE) show series could hopefully get made.
To add I imagine that in the (BRUCE WAYNE) show series it could show in it how much training Bruce had done before returning to GOTHAM CITY, and how many journeys did he go on, and what types of skills did he learn to master, and to add how many new friends did he make along the way, and also to add did he ever have any other romantic relationships as well, and much more.
Plus to add I can imagine that the (BRUCE WAYNE) show series could maybe possibly connect with the (GOTHAM) show series storyline, and to add I can imagine scenario in the story of how Bruce’s face no longer looks 100% the same as it once did because he had gotten his face very badly damage when he was on his journey away from Gotham City, and now there is only a 80% similar looking facial looks compared to his former looks. ....وسعت 2

@briandaleske5139منذ 5 سنوات I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY INVOLVING THIS SUBJECT:
First off, I think that it makes some small amount of sense that the (BRUCE WAYNE) show series id="hidden40" class="buttons"> was cancelled.
But I still wonder if maybe there might of been a proper reason to why it was canceled?
Now despite that I strongly think that maybe a different type of Batman story should be made into a show series.
I have can imagine a number of different types of Batman ComicBooks stories; One is (The Batman) story, the other is (Batman The Brave & The Bold) story, the other is (Batman Prime) story, and another one is (Batman Dark Knight) story, and another is (Batman Warrior Knight of Arkham City) story, and to add another one is (Batman the Blue Lantern) story, and also to add I can imagine many other different types of Batman stories that could be used to be made into a show series. ....وسعت
