![]() ![]() This team of mismatched fugitives must band together to become its next generation of saviors known as the GOTHAM KNIGHTS. But our Knights will soon learn there is a larger, more nefarious force at work within Gotham City. With the charismatic and hard-charging District Attorney Harvey Dent (Misha Collins) and the GCPD hot on their trail, Turner will rely on allies including his best friend and formidable coder Stephanie Brown (Anna Lore), and unlikely Batman sidekick Carrie Kelley (Navia Robinson). In the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder, his adopted son Turner Hayes (Oscar Morgan) is framed for killing the Caped Crusader, along with the children of some of Batman’s enemies: Duela (Olivia Rose Keegan), an unpredictable fighter and skilled thief who was born in Arkham Asylum and abandoned by her father, Harper Row (Fallon Smythe), a streetwise and acerbic engineer who can fix anything, and her brother Cullen Row (Tyler DiChiara), a clever transgender teen who is tired of being polite and agreeable. ![]() In GOTHAM KNIGHTS, Batman is dead, and a powder keg has ignited Gotham City without the Dark Knight to protect it. Premiering on Tuesday, March 18, CoSA VFX has been the exclusive VFX vendor for the series. “ Gotham Knights“ is set to debut on March 14th, 2023.The CW has released a trailer for their upcoming Batman-related drama series Gotham Knights. Then again, it’s a The CW superhero show, so we pretty much knew what to expect to begin with. So while there’s not an awful lot to go on in terms of getting to know the characters, there’s enough happening to give a basic idea of what to expect. We learn Turner is suspected of killing his adopted father for the money, that Robin is still active, and that Dent is trying to convince Gotham of the city’s safety. Meanwhile, HBO Max has canceled the best non-animated DC shows to date, Titans and Doom Patrol. They’ve canceled all, but one of their Arrowverse shows (Superman & Lois) and The Winchesters is still trying to find its footing. The rest of the trailer is pretty standard fare with bits of random action and soundbites. Since selling to Nexstar, things haven’t been going well for The CW. We only see Collins as Dent during the trailer, indicating that he’s either not Two-Face yet, or he is, but we don’t see the physical scarring that he’s known for in other adaptations. The trailer focuses primarily on three characters Duela, Turner, and Harvey Dent, played by The CW mainstay Misha Collins. So, it’s like Disney’s “ The Descendants,” but for Batman. Stephanie Brown and Brody March are the children of Cluemaster and Owlman, respectively. Which is what the police refer to her as in the trailer. She’s claimed to be the daughter of numerous other villains, mostly she’s named as the Joker’s Daughter. In the comic universe, Duela is a Dent, the daughter of District Attorney Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face. So joining the team are Duela, Stephanie Brown, and Brody March. The hope is that they’ll want to clear the name of their parents, making them unlikely allies in this circumstance. The added twist is that Hayes, wanting to find out who killed his father, recruits the children of Batman’s rogues gallery. Instead of using Bruce Wayne’s canonical son Damian Wayne, there’s also an original character, Turner Hayes, who is the adopted son of Batman. For example, we have the Carrie Kelley iteration of Robin from Frank Miller‘s “Dark Knight” series in addition to Harper Row, aka Bluebird, who prominently featured in the “Batman Eternal” comic arc. This Batman universe is seemingly unconnected to any others that we’ve seen on television, film, game, or print picking and choosing elements it wants to use. Coincidentally, a completely unrelated television series of the same name, with a similar premise, has been developed for The CW. ![]() They also hope to discover how Batman was killed and bring the killer to justice. In it, four members of the Bat-family team up to help restore order to Gotham in the wake of Batman’s death. When you hear about “Gotham Knights,” its more than likely in reference to the video game of the same name. ![]()
