Excuses excuses. The reason you don't see Superman being Superman on Smallville, or actual villains and heroes on Gotham is budget. It's cheaper and faster to make a soap opera with occasional half-assed shootouts than to plan out an epic story with elaborate fight scenes and quality special effects.
Never seen Gotham but the reason there wasn't the Superman suit in Smallville was some sort of licensing issue. It was in some sort of contract that they could make the show, but they couldn't have the suit and he couldn't fly.

"Smallville" a Superman show with no Superman
"Gotham" a Batman show with no Batman

Why should I watch either of these shows again?
And they just started a new pre-Superman show called Krypton.

It wasn't in the contract, the producers just decided that themselves. You might be thinking of the unmade Superman Lives, in which Jon Peters said he would allow Kevin Smith to write the movie if he didn't include the suit, didn't let Superman fly, and had Superman fight a giant spider in the third act.

The quality of the show has nothing to do with whatever stupid shit the actors of it get up to years later. Hence, non-sequitor.
Firstly she joined up while she was still on Smallville and secondly 'Actress was arrested' 'Well, that show she was on was shit' is perfectly relevant to the discussion

Yes, and the fact TWO actresses from the show were in the cult.

It was advertised as some self-help bullshit, in reality it was to suck Ranieres (sp?) cock.

And i think it was Kristin Kreuk the one that got into the cult first, and then she got Allison Mack into it. Kreuk left a few years ago, and Mack became a fulltime pimp.

Btw, Raniere only managed to get this shit done because one crazy woman that sucked his cock is super rich, and she is the one financing all this shit, and i think that later for joining the cult the members also had to relinquish some if not all of their stuff to fund it.

I hope they make it a sitcom. Makes it easier to pad out the seasons for the only part that actually matters (aka Krypton blowing up).

Gotham is even worse. The producers flat out admitted that they wanted a superhero show but have everyone look normal.
I think Gotham could've been somewhat interesting if it was just about some normal cops having to deal with a city full of freaks.

Instead it's some weird prequel where it turns out that each and every one of Batman's villains is way older than him because they were already adult when he was still a kid. Very strange.
I think you Euros have it right with your short series. I would rather watch 13 episodes of high quality than 100+ of mental junk food garbage.*


*See for reference: Battlestar Galactica
Don't be such a generalist. We Germans can't really into short series. Even if we rip off stuff like the telenovela format (which is supposed to have a definitive end) we end up running that shit for as long as the ratings will allow.

(Unless you count those historical 2-4 part movies, but those are always international co-productions because we're stingy.)

But... there are a whole bunch of DC (and Marvel) Super Hero TV shows on right now. It can be done. Batman doesn't even have any superpowers and wouldn't increase the budget much.
You mean shit like Arrow? Yeah, that's quality for tv I guess, but it's just cheap fights with lots of angsty CW soap opera shit between.

Don't forget him being mentored by young Catwoman.

I hate these shows that are embarrassed to be what they are.
That's why I loved Spartacus: Blood & Sand. That show knew exactly what it was and was unapologetic about it. Soap opera for men. Tits, violence, bromance. It's a shame the actor died and his replacement wasn't as good, nor did the break in production do the writing any good.
Loved that show John Hannah was so awesome in it.
