I don't know what to say about this bit of news, but:
The CW is prepping a series based on Batman sidekick Robin’s pre-Caped Crusader days.
Just as "Smallville" focused on Clark Kent in the years before he became Superman, "The Graysons" will follow the world of Dick "DJ" Grayson before he takes on the iconic Robin identity and aligns himself with Batman.
Project reps the latest DC Comics franchise to be mined for the smallscreen by sibling Warner Bros. TV. McG’s Wonderland Sound and Vision label is also attached. Souders, Peterson, McG and Wonderland’s Peter Johnson will exec produce.
"The Graysons" is seen as a potential replacement for "Smallville" should that show end its run this season, which has been speculated. Should "Smallville" return next year, "The Graysons" might also make a strong companion piece.
In the one-hour "Graysons," which will be set in modern times, young DJ will face challenges involving first loves, young rivals and his family as he grows up. Souders and Peterson have come up with an original take on the character.
Okay, remember the royal mess called Birds of Prey, yeah, I remember.

Say what?
Unless the storyline has been or is being rewritten, Dick became Robin/NightWing only after his parent's died and Bruce Wayne adopted him.
It was from that in which he became Robin, eventually a member of the Teen Titans and I think a JLA member.
It would be like watching Star Wars and anticipating an ending/outcome everyone has already read or seen.
Oh yeah, I remember Birds of Prey ...
I got through half an episode, then I had to turn off the TV. It was just too painful to watch any more.
