Robin (or any kid sidekick) seems to be a hardsell for a semi-realistic superhero story, even if they are a "son of a bitch." The idea that someone would endanger a kid to fight crime is tough, though it could show how obsessively messed up Batman is.And now Supergirl is hard edged and gritty too (but with Krypto? What is he now an abused Kryptonian pit bull or something?). Did someone sneak into the writers group with a fake mustache, introduce themselves as "Snack Zyder," and pitch these ideas?The Green Lanterns could be interesting, but I was really hoping it would just be John Stewart. And as much as I loved True Detective, the premise seems a little small scale for Green Lanterns to me.Booster Gold is one of my favorite characters from back in the day. I hope they don't make it too comedic or slapstick. Playing it straight for the first few episodes, with some organic, natural humor would be good, IMO, with some hints that something is a bit off with Booster. Then have the big reveal of his background 6 or so episodes in.I also wonder how well "Elseworlds" projects will be accepted by the public at large -- it may lead to confusion and/or Batman/Superman overload.</blockquote>
