For many Batman fans, the animated series actually dealt with the characters and storylines more faithfully than any other adaptation ever has. <BR/><BR/>Assuming budget constraints weren't an issue (and they always are with action themed shows), a 13 episode season of a comic book based character on F/X or HBO could be great. This hasn't really been tried since back in the 90's with the <I>Flash</I> TV show, which had a <I>Walker, Texas Ranger</I> level of quality to it. Pick the right character and make a show with the budget of <I>The Shield</I> or <I>Buffy</I> and you may have a hit in the current market.Troy Olsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14843741571724231174noreply@blogger.com
