Just thought I would share this before I went off. I will post more new articles when I am on here next time for all of you but I have just been feeling upset tonight and got the go slows. I am not surprised over this news and since we have already seen Batman in multiple movies and we have a new 'Batman' movie in development I would rather see them bring some other Bat Family characters to the show who haven't had a chance in live action before like The Spoiler, Orphan (an older version since the movie is going to have Cassandra as a little girl), Hawkfire/Flamebird (Bette Kane), Red Hood (older version too), Red Robin, Bluebird, Azrael (a proper version unlike the one in 'Gotham.' He has been rumoured so it is very possible), the Signal and maybe even some 'Birds of Prey' members like Lady Blackhawk, Starling and Misfit. That would be fun to see and many of them could just make guest appearances throughout the show while some could become regulars.

BATMAN IS OFF LIMITS FOR THE CW'S BATWOMAN SERIES, BUT THEY HAVE A PLAN FOR THAT
Even though we're getting a Batwoman series on The CW as part of its ever-expanding roster of DC characters, that doesn't mean we'll be seeing Batman on the small screen anytime soon.
When Ruby Rose's Batwoman was introduced in last year's Arrowverse crossover, Elseworlds, it was explained that Batman had left Gotham City three years prior. Since then, Kate Kane, Bruce Wayne's cousin, has taken on the role of the city's protector.
Though Batman was talked about during the crossover event, the character will remain off limits to the network for now, per a report from The Wrap. Instead, the series is using the Caped Crusader's conspicuous absence to its advantage by helping to craft Kane's story.
"Batman is missing. What does that do when your heroes are gone, and who steps into that void?” said Sarah Schechter, one of Batwoman's executive producers. "What’s great about the restriction of just focusing on Batwoman is that we have to build a world for our character. It’s a character that people don’t really know."
Essentially, Batwoman will continue to take place in a post-Batman Gotham City while exploring what's happened to the city since he's been gone. Although it's not clear exactly what is and isn't off limits to The CW at this point. In addition to Batman, Elseworlds also mentioned notable Bat-villains the Riddler and Mr. Freeze, as well as Arkham Asylum. There was even a brief glimpse of the Bat-Signal at one point.
This isn't the first time (or the last) that we'll be seeing a Batman-inspired story sans Batman. Gotham, which is currently wrapping up its final season, looked at Gotham in the years following Thomas Wayne's murder. The upcoming series Pennyworth will go even further back in time, focusing on the elder Wayne and his relationship with the family's loyal butler Alfred Pennyworth years before Bruce Wayne is even born. On the big screen, there's Todd Phillips' upcoming Joker movie, starring Joaquin Phoenix as the Clown Prince of Crime.
Of course, Batman could eventually show up in Batwoman, but it looks like we'll have to wait for Matt Reeves' The Batman before we see the Dark Knight himself in action again.
Batwoman will premiere on The CW at some point in 2019.
