The Young Dick Grayson Chronicles!! CW Developing Series Based On The Early Days Of Batman’s Sidekick!!

I am – Hercules!!

What was The Boy Wonder up to before he hooked up with Bruce Wayne?

New "Smallville" showrunners Kelly Souders and Brian Peterson are teaming with producer McG ("Chuck," "Supernatural") for "The Graysons."

Presumably Dick and his parents get into all sorts of exciting adventures when they're not swinging on the trapeze.

It's thought to be a possible replacement for "Smallville" should its eighth season prove its last.

Find all of Variety’s story on the matter here.
