The Bat is a TV Series on The CW. The first season focuses on Bruce Wayne's early days as the Batman. Bruce does not wear a the Batman costume until the final episodes, instead wearing a ninja style outfit for most of the season. He also is not called the Batman until the end of the first season. Warner Brothers has announced plans up until a 5th season, and perhaps more if the show does well. The Bat is set in the Flash/Arrow universe. The first season is set before the Flash/Arrow shows, however it is confirmed that eventually there will be a time skip, and the three shows will take place at the same time, which will allow for crossovers.
