RUMOR: Batman TV Series Planned to Reintroduce Joker Character Without Ledger
One of our insider sources has sent in the early thinking about plans WB is hatching for the blockbuster Batman franchise, and this time its about a move to the small screen after The Dark Knight Rises.
WB has no plans to rush out another Batman Movie once Chris Nolan has completed The Dark Knight Rises. Instead. The heads in power are looking at something to do with TV.
The idea comes from the successful episodes of SmallVille and on the back of the Sherlock Homes Movie with Robert Downey Jr and the success of the Hartswood Films/BBC Television show of the same name staring Benedict Cumberbatch that screened recently. WB is looking at putting together a live action Batman TV series. The Head Executive in charge (name removed to protect source) who has overseen the development and production of such notable hits as: "Two and a Half Men", "The Mentalist", "ER", "The West Wing", "Without A Trace" and "Friends", has been given the task. He would like to keep it in line with the Nolan movies. No word on any stories or script except "keep it in-line with the real world and with young adult audiences in mind".
It has also been mentioned that this is a way to re-introduce The Joker as a completely new version so not to step on Heath’s memory/version, as WB knows this is a sensitive subject and believes that (The Joker) episode alone will rate through the roof as it will be a closed set with extremely very tight security to prevent any leaked footage.
The Actor they have in mind to play Batman/Bruce Wayne for either TV or in a Future Batman movie is Karl Urban. Karl plays Dr. Mc Coy in the new Star Trek franchise.
Keep in mind, that this VERY EARLY talk, but if it is true that a WB head has been put in charge of development, it shows that they are serious
