I heard about the premise in passing and side with those who are hesitant on how successful it can be. It isn't like Clark Kent with Smallville where a lot of the outline on how a show can work has already been laid out in Superboy comics. Gotham without Batman is basically just another crime drama on TV. How do you do it before Bruce Wayne and all of his greatest foes become who they are? It has potential, but it's going to be faced with a lot of obstacles getting off the ground.

I'm kind of surprised it's airing on FOX, though. I would have thought it'd be on The CW given that most of DC properties are owned by the WB but I could be getting the wrong idea of how that works since SHIELD is on ABC and ABC is owned by Disney. That's probably a good thing, though. Otherwise it'd be reduced to another teen drama before long.

I'll probably watch the premier if I remember it's on since the trailer does have me kind of excited.
