At one point, it was speculated that Adam Knight was going to be a young Bruce Wayne, but it never game to fruition.

That would have been a lot better then what he became. I forgot he was played by Ian.

Actually it seems like at times that GA is this world's Superman and the Blur is their Batman. Really in smallville they reversed the roles of the world's finest.

I wouldn't go that far. But I think more is done to make Green Arrow be more believable in that world since hes just a "regular" human as compared to clark and the rest of the jla.
Back in season 6, Gotham was mentioned a couple of times in the back dialogue in a couple of episodes. So I was hyped that they might do some batman lore or even take the show to Gotham for an episode or two. None of this seems likely now, but at least Dr Fate was kickass!

I mean they are backwards in how the view the world. GA is trying to go public and inspire the world while the Blur was dressed in black, sticks to the shadows and leave a calling card. It even seems like the blur likes to use fear vs hope. it's very weird to watch as the Blur is like Batman with powers.

In this universe I know who the Sinestro ring would go after and some people call him Kal. Ok he's not the same level as Bruce. But smallville has seemed to take things from both Batman and Superman to make this version of Clark.

But they had no problem releasing Superman Returns with Smallville on the air.
I thought it actually had something to do with the rights to Batman. I know it's all owned by WB/DC but I think it had something to do with there being other Batman related movies/shows out there and the people at Smallville not having the proper permission/rights to use the character as a result. Or something stupid like that.
Though there was a vague reference to both Batman and Wonder Woman a few episodes back. In one of the episodes were Chloe returned this season, she mentions that she has dicovered other heroes out there including a "Wonderous Woman", and there was also an obvious reference to Batman (without flat out saying Batman), but I forget the exact wording that she used.
Superman Returns was kind of under the gun if I remember right; there's an ongoing legal battle over the rights to the series and they wanted to get as much use out of it as possible before they expired. Plus its pretty apparent now that Smallville and the Superman movies exist in their own separate worlds.
I think that the WB guys were really scared about stepping on Nolan's toes by showing a different sort of Batman on Smallville in addition to thinking fans would be confused. Meh, doesn't really matter now that the show's done filming.
