I'd focus equally on Batman, the GCPD, and low-mid level hoods; and try to make the show more like The Wire than a typical super hero show. While I would include Batman's rogues gallery they'd be very slowly introduced. I'd try to put a lot of the emotional focus into the low-mid level hoods and detectives in the GCPD (Rene Montoya and Harvey Bullock would be more focused on than Gordon). Basically the first season would be an extended retelling of Year One.
Part of the reason for a more grounded focus is so the budget can focus on making Batman and the eventual villains look really good. It would also delve into the absolute and total corruption in Gotham City, and I'd probably have Bullock and maybe Montoya too being corrupt to begin, but changing their tune as Batman establishes himself more and more.
Season one would be about the Mob and City Corruption. Season two would probably introduce the Joker and having Penguin being the only survivor of Batman's war against the mob, and the introduction of Jason (just skipping Dick Grayson). Season three would be about Ras al Ghul and Talia as well as adapting Batman the Cult. Season four would be about Bane and end with Death in The Family. Season five would be an adaptation of the Dark Knight Returns, mainly the first two books with the mutants, but potentially including Superman too.
