Too 'Batman' for WB. They refused the use of Nightwing, so we're not getting Azrael.
Nightwing doesn't work without Batman. Azrael could. Using Nightwing would immiedietally make it clear there's Bat in that universe. I think that's the problem. Arrow already has been using some of the lesser known Bat folk and it was ok, because they weren't this tightly connected to Batman in mass audience's perception.
There was supossedly pretty big bidding war for Gotham. THat's propably why they are keeping it on tight leash, to not water down the IP.
