10 Things You Need To Know About The Batman TV Show That Didn’t Happen

6. The Love Life Of A Billionaire Playboy

Regardless of what depiction of Bruce Wayne you're reading or watching, the Gotham billionaire is quite the ladies man. And in the Bruce Wayne show, this element of Bruce's life would've again reared its head.

In the pilot episode, audiences would have been treated to romantic flirtations with Selina Kyle and Susan Dent, the sister of a certain Harvey. As the series' first season progressed, Bruce would've found more and more female attention coming his way with each passing episode.

Not content with having Selina and Susan as love interests for Master Wayne, the show would have also introduced Vicki Vale and Harleen Quinzel as two others who Bruce would be romantically involved with. The series' incarnation of Vale would have her pegged as a gossip reporter, while Harleen would be a psychology student.

How truthful it is, we'll never know, but there are even some reports out there that a young Barbara Gordon would be another who would be a featured part of Bruce's love life. If that was indeed the case, that's likely one plus point of Bruce Wayne never coming to fruition.
