EPISODE ONE (3/1/14)

SUMMARY: Award-winning, acclaimed screenwriter Paddy Chayefsky (Network) is hired for his most unlikely work: a big-budget film adaptation of BATMAN.  He sets to work on his magnum opus, but dark forces may make the project rather less than he dreamed: Burt Reynolds is angling for the lead role... and David Bowie, who is set to play The Joker, has a real-life evil plan of his own.
