Nelvana's Lost "Batman and New Robin" Pitch

[ZariusTwo]

Found this on Dan Didio's facebook


Another relic from my days in ABC Children's Programming. A pitch cell from Nelvana when they had, for a brief moment, the rights(or at least I think they did) to pitch a Batman animated series.

And a follow up from J.Micheal Strazynski

Here's an even bigger mind-**** for you: a month or two ago, I was digging through the archives looking for something and stumbled across the treatment for a Batman series that I wrote for Nelvana at that time. Small freaking world....

Interesting. I wonder who the New Robin is....

Interesting. I wonder who the New Robin is....

The new Robin looks like he's thirty years old. And showing a lotta leg.

Oh, Bruce, I thought you liked them younger than that...

Neat. What year would that have been? That could lend a clue as to which Robin that may have been. If it was early-mid '80s, it could have been Jason. Jason was originally depicted with strawberry blonde hair, although he dyed it black once he was Robin, but if the show was in development around the same time that could explain a few things.

Anyways, that's neat. I'm a sucker for stuff like that, that never got made or finished.
