Why so many non-Batman Batman shows going on at the CW? I don't get it. Is there some licensing issue that prevents them from actually using the character?

Edit: lmao not just Batman, wtf is going on with that entire cast? Why make a show focusing on the Batfamily if the only members you're actually allowed to use are Carrie Kelley's Robin and some series-original character as a Damian Wayne stand-in...

WB has a thing about reserving Batman for films. That's how we've had Birds of Prey, Gotham, Pennyworth, The Penguin, and now this steaming pile.

The Penguin will be an exception because they have movie Batman appearing

In fairness they are using Stephanie Brown, along with Harper and Cullen Row too (they are part of the Batfamily, but only just). I do find it weird they're using Stephanie without Tim Drake though, since she's mainly one of his supporting characters. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out this Turner Hayes character ends up being revealed as Tim. It just seems strange they've created an original character for this show. It looks shit anyway, so it's not like its gonna have a high viewership, but if they had at least made him one of Bruce's already established sons then more people might watch it. It makes me think that Titans is the reason why they had to create an original character. They couldn't have two versions of the same character on different shows.
