Adapting just about any pre-existing Batman comic is a bad idea. Even more standalone stuff like The Killing Joke utilises the vast extended universe that is established in the comic timeline. For quite some time I was enamoured with the prospect of a tv series based on Gotham Central, but soon came to my senses upon realising that the reason why Gotham Central worked was because much of the Batman and Gotham mythos was pre-established, so it had the time to focus on the members of the department more.
