Before the begins-ing was something else

Plans for a Bruce Wayne TV show were afoot before Smallville. Really, a great idea. You wouldn't have the strangeness that distracts Smallville (indian caves and mystic stones).

Personally, introducing too much would have been bad, but a short term introduction to pre-BM Bruce Wayne would have been neat.

I remember following the development process over on Ain't it Cool. It got me fucking irate. Mostly because it was such a good idea and the minds behind it deserved better -- and they've done better since, though they were basically fucked right over and their ideas stolen.

Ah, yes. Written by Tim "I Will Make You Cry Over A Giant Robot" McCanlies. I seem to remember reading that he gets paid for Smallville, but not the credit.
