I haven't seen the pilot or the re-shot pilot, but Mia Sara just seems too homely...too girl-next-door.Mia Kirschner, on the other hand, seems like she's a bad girl (in a good way
) in real life.

I actually don't know much about it, but thought I'd record it for a few weeks anyway. That's what ReplayTV is for, right?
Should be a cool show. Hope they pull it off.

I have seen the pilot already and everyone should greatly lower their expectations. I was wary going in (being the WB and all) and it managed to go down another notch.

[Pics too. Since that seems to be their MAIN selling point. Lord knows it's not the script.]

I saw a version of teh Pilot also. It had Sherilyn Fenn as Harley Quinn, who is going to be played by someone else in the actual show. I didn't think the show was bad, but it did seem more campy than I was hoping. Maybe it was just the acting though....
I look forward to seeing the finished pilot, and how they develop the show, but from what I've seen, I would not be surprised if it did not make it through a whole season. Smallville is a much better show in my opinion.
I thnk that BoP also will suffer from a bad time slot. I don't see Dawson's Creek's fan base being the same people to stay tuned to a comic book adaptation.

Havent seen the show, but I am interested in seeing how badly they screw up the story.
With the sole exception of Batman and Catwoman having a daughter, it looks like the entire thing is taken from the novell "Batman - No Man's Land". Great book if anyone is interested.

eh, it looks like I would watch if the tv is on and nothing else is on, but I don't know how long it could really last.

I haven't seen much about this myself. Just a brief glance of the commercial with Batman and Catwoman together. Will they be making cameos in the show? At least in flashbacks? Maybe Alfred? And from what I saw it didn't appear that the daughter wore a mask. If that's true everyone should know her identity.
I'm very curious about this show but trying not to set my expectations too high.

It answers all of your questions.

DVD Talk Hall of Fame
From a reviewer on IMDb...
Will watch anyway, just thought this was amusing and clever.
Abomination with a capital "A".
This monstrosity can be summed up with ten words starting with the letter "C."
1. Cheese (The plot.) 2. Crap (The acting and dialogue.) 3. Chicks (Women in leather, the heroines.) 4. Cornball (The humor) 5. Caricatures (Mockery of DC Comics) 6. Comic Book (This show has absolutely nothing to do with it) 7. Cent (Series budget) 8. Copies (Dark Angel, Smallville, Alias, Witchblade...) 9. Chronic migraines (After witnessing this garbage) 10. Canceled (Probably after pilot)
