More on Bruce Wayne
Description from Wikipedia:
Bruce Wayne was a planned television series to focus on the teenage and young adulthood years of Batman. The idea was conceived by screenwriter Tim McCanlies. ==Background==
In 1999, roughly a year after seeing the script he wrote for The Iron Giant get released, McCanlies pitched a JFK Jr. type show revolving around an American icon much like that of Prince William: a drama revolving around the teenage years of Bruce Wayne, the future Batman. Tollin/Robbins Productions bought the rights to produce the series, and HBO began negotiating about possible broadcasting rights.
Since the series did not actually get into pre-production or casting, it is unknown who would have been starred on the show. However, Shawn Ashmore, who later went on to play Bobby Drake in X2 and X-Men: The Last Stand, was heavily rumored to be in negotiations about playing Bruce, as well as Trevor Fehrman of Clerks II fame. A then-unknown Michael Rosenbaum was also considered to play the role of Harvey Dent. David Krumholtz, a current TV actor of Numb3rs, was said to be rumored for Jim Gordon. Even though Warner Bros.' TV division liked the concept of a "Young Wayne" series, the movie division wanted to focus on getting the film franchise back on track. It was Joel Schumacher, director of the infamous box-office flop Batman & Robin, who pitched the idea for a serious Batman origin story.
Tollin/Robbins Productions wanted to do a show about a young Bruce Wayne. The feature film division of Warner Bros. had decided to develop an origin movie for Batman, and, because they didn't want to compete with a television series, had the idea nixed.
