As you say, Robin's origin (which wasn't addressed until BTAS) would've been done, too, followed by the others, although Wonder Woman, Superman, & Green Lantern had had their origins told in some way in previous series.<br /><br />ABC's loss, then, ultimately became Fox's gain, shall we say?hobbyfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08089664500077967952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-365564334433777661.post-48085960807237397062012-07-02T08:49:19.679-04:002012-07-02T08:49:19.679-04:00Addendum:

Unfortunately the network didn't bite and we'd have to wait 7 years before BTAS changed the way we look at Batman.<br /><br />I really enjoyed this ep. So much so I downloaded it to my iPod. Seeing the emotions involved and potentially serious storylines, it's a shame TPTB chose to pass on it.<br /><br />If the series had been greenlit, I'd like to think an equally powerful epsiode about Robin's origins would have been produced.<br /><br />Indeed Adam West really shone here.magicdoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10755186050643383954noreply@blogger.com
