Pop links: Robin TV show scrapped, screaming deal on "24" season DVDs, Goofus and Gallant, Star Pirate, new Hembeck!

The CW has decided not to produce "The Graysons," a series that would've taken a "Smallville"-like look at the early days of acrobat-turned Boy Wonder Dick Grayson, a.k.a., Batman's Robin.

Warner Bros president Jeff Robinov had initially given the greenlight to the pilot, but changed his mind after Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan reportedly voiced his discomfort at having a TV show on the air that conflicted with his Batman film series.

A Warner Bros statement said: "The studio has opted not to go forward with the development of The Graysons at this time as the concept doesn't fit the current strategy for the Batman franchise.
