Batman would work incredibly well as a tv show. Hell I think all comic book properties work better on the small screen in many individual adventures as opposed to one big romp on the big screen. Especially in these days when decent costuming and effects doesn't have to break the bank budget wise.
Its why I can't help but get annoyed with ideas like Gotham. On its own it doesn't sound half bad, and I'm kinda interested. But at the same time, why not just do Batman? Its working for Arrow. There's no "clever" prequel concept, its just a straight up superhero show. And people dig it.

Yup, Arrow pretty much IS Batman, no reason you can't go the extra few inches and actually use Batman.
It would be very difficult. Batman's cape is problematic in live action and would probably eat more effects budget than most of realize. So the show would caught between financial realities and (if some responses to MAoS are any indication) fans that would be incensed because the show doesn't look as slick as any of the films since Tim Burton's.
Batman could absolutely work, but it'd need more than a broadcast TV budget. Put it on a premium channel and it should do fine.
I'd be interested in seeing a Bronze Tiger show though or even a Suicide Squad.
He's too big. Maybe Night Wing.
