Bruce Wayne was a planned television series focusing on a young Bruce Wayne before he became Batman. The idea was conceived as a pitch from screenwriter Tim McCanlies in late 1990s, and went as far into development until being shelved in favor of, at that time, the planned film Batman: Year One.
The concept would later be rethought and turned into the television series Smallville, this time focusing on a young Clark Kent before he became Superman. From 2014 until 2019, Fox aired Gotham, which focuses on a young Bruce Wayne and James Gordon, as well as the origin stories of several Batman villains such as Riddler, Penguin, Poison Ivy, Catwoman, Two-Face and The Joker, among others.
