ROBIN’S SHOW AXED
BATMAN’s sidekick ROBIN has had his own TV show cancelled before it has even begun.
New programme The Graysons was to explore Robin’s alter-ego Dick ‘DJ’ Grayson before he paired up with the caped crusader.
But the project, which was in its early stages of production, has been halted by U.S. network The CW, because "the concept doesn’t fit the current strategy for the Batman franchise".
Bosses at Warner Bros. say they need some time to "rethink its DC Comics strategy".
However, CW bosses have insisted rumours that The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan was "uncomfortable" with the show’s direction has nothing to do with the decision to axe it.
Robin was last portrayed on film by Chris O’Donnell in 1997’s Batman & Robin.
