Heh. I came on to this thread to propose an "Elseworld" story that was going to be a thinly disguised re-telling of Batman Beyond. You beat me to the punch. But, still, if they don't want to do a "real" Batman series, how about one set in the future with an old, retired Bruce Wayne and a young kid who accidentally discovers the Batman secret and then steals the last high-tech Bat-Suit to avenge the death of his father? Ratings gold!
