In a display of unbelievable restraint, a television studio has for once managed to stop itself before acting on a bad idea — the CW has announced it's scrapping The Graysons, an origins show centered around Batman sidekick Robin and his circus-performing family. According to Warner Bros., the show's "concept doesn't fit the current strategy for the Batman franchise"; Variety conjectures that Christopher Nolan himself may have been the one to pull the brakes.
