- This article is about the fictitious TV series featuring the Gray Ghost.
Opening Credits for The Gray Ghost TV Series
|
The Gray Ghost was once a popular television series about a crime fighter in the city of Piedmont. It was produced by Spectrum Studios.
History
Bruce Wayne used to watch this series with his father Thomas Wayne. Unfortunately, he missed the end of "The Mad Bomber" during its original run as he fell asleep.
Spectra Studios was destroyed by a fire at some point after the series' cancellation.
The lead character was played by Simon Trent. After the series was canceled, Trent had been typecast and had difficulty finding other parts. By the 1990s, he was living in the Chelsea Arms apartments and was behind on his rent. His manager Frankie often had the difficult task of informing him that he didn't get a part he auditioned for.
Interest in the series, and Trent's career, was revived after he and Batman teamed up to stop a crazed toy collector who was copy catting the lead villain from "The Mad Bomber". The series was released on video shortly afterwards and proved to be very successful.[1]
The series was revisited and a feature film titled The Grey Ghost Strikes was released in the early 21st century. The film was intended to be Terry McGinnis's last experience with his parents as part of Project Batman Beyond to recreate the last fateful night for the Waynes. However, the intended killer would not pull the trigger, and the McGinnises went on to have a second son, Matt.[2]
