The other day, Dan told you about the character breakdown for TNT’s planned Teen Titans series, which will include Dick Grayson at a crossroads following the dissolution of his partnership with Batman. Though it’s not known if Batman will exist on Titans as anything more than a mention, this news does establish another potential entry point for the Caped Crusader into the DC TV Universe.
Already a (child-sized) part of FOX’s Gotham and coveted by Arrow/The Flash/Supergirl producer Greg Berlanti for an eventual Arrow guest spot, it seems inevitable that we will one day see Batman return to television. The question is, should it be as a guest appearance and a supplement to another character’s series, or are fans (and Warner Bros.) ready to give the Dark Knight a weekly showcase?
