The Graysons

The Graysons was a proposed television show, developed by the CW Network. Following the lead of Smallville, this show would have focused on the first Robin, Dick Grayson, before he became the sidekick of Batman. The show was announced on September 30 in a Daily Variety article.".

The show would have focused on the young Dick "DJ" Grayson as he struggled to find his place in the world. The show was to be produced by Smallville producers Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson, with executive production by McG.

Souders and Peterson stated in a letter posted on KryptonSite.com that the series was not intended as a replacement for Smallville, saying "While we are extremely excited to be working hand-in-hand with Wonderland, Warner Bros. and the CW to create the origin story of Dick Grayson, it has never been intended as a replacement for Smallville, as is speculated in some media."

On November 6, 2008, Variety revealed that Warner Bros. executive Jeff Rubinov, who had initially supported the project, pulled the plug on the show. Ruvinov stated that "the studio has opted not to go forward with the development of The Graysons at this time", stating that the concept did not fit with the aims of the current Batman franchise. Ruvinov continued, "Warner Bros. Television is currently working on several replacement options for the CW."
