Question: I just read that the CW has canceled
Runaway because of low ratings. Now that there is another timeslot available, do you think that
Aquaman will be considered for the CW lineup? I am sure that the fans of
Smallville will enjoy it and that it will have better ratings than
Runaway, because
Aquaman already has a fanbase from the DC comic books. It was a top download on iTunes when the pilot was released. Do you think it has a chance of making it on TV?
Answer: To put it bluntly, no. The CW (I almost typed WB, and there's the real issue) has, from all I can tell, moved on. The download was a gift to comic-book fans, not a promise of things to come. That isn't to say, especially in the wake of
Heroes' unexpected success on NBC, that the CW won't try to develop more fantasy franchises (at least one is underway already), or that
Smallville won't be used again as a breeding ground for a spin-off of some sort. But for now,
Aquaman appears dead.
