Anna Lore ("All American") will portray Stephanie Brown, who has donned the Batgirl cowl and created her superhero character, Spoiler. "Raven's Home" star Navia Ziraili will portray Carrie Kelley, the first-ever female Robin who appeared in Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" graphic novel. She seems to be a play on the comic character Duela Dent, who claimed to be the daughter of Riddler, Joker, and Harvey Dent (she appeared as Joker's daughter in "Batwoman" Season 1, Episode 14, "Grinning from Ear to Ear," played by Alessandra Torresani). Olivia Rose Keegan ("Days of Our Lives") is playing Duela, an unhinged survivor of a life that began with being born in Arkham Asylum. While he eventually becomes Two-Face in the comics, we'll have to wait and see if that is his character arc on "Gotham Knights." Perhaps the most noteworthy cast member is "Supernatural" alum Misha Collins, who will be taking on the iconic part of Harvey Dent (per Variety). The character was created specifically for the series, adding a new depth to the Batman mythos for The CW.

(Seriously, after so many movies and TV shows over the years, the one question I’ve yet to see answered is why anyone would continue living in Gotham City by choice.Oscar Morgan ("Millie Inbetween") is set to be the lead as Turner Hayes, the adopted son of Bruce Wayne. Introduced by writer Scott Snyder into the comic books in 2012, the Court is a shadowy organization that, in the world of this series, is connected not only to Batman’s death, but also to the death of his parents and many other members of Gotham’s elites over the decades. This is the “White Knight” played by Aaron Eckhart in 2008’s “The Dark Knight,” with his optimism dimmed after too many years in the Gotham cauldron.ĭent’s aforementioned fall could very well come about as a result of the ongoing mystery surrounding the mysterious Court of Owls. Nonetheless, Collins imbues Dent with a lived-in pathos. Given how Harvey plays a very specific role in the Bat-mythology as the villainous Two-Face, it’s a bit odd to see him with an unscarred face even after Batman has exited the stage, leaving his eventual fate in question. Another strong presence in the cast is Misha Collins (“Supernatural”), as perpetually-harried District Attorney Harvey Dent, friend to both Bruce and Turner. Keegan projects equal parts sweetness and sass, all while remaining inscrutable as to her ultimate motives.
Of the young leads, the biggest mark is made by Olivia Rose Keegan, who really makes a feast out of the “Is she evil, crazy or both?” questions surrounding Duela and her daddy issues. Just in case you thought the CW was done making shows based on DC characters, the network unveils a first look at their newest show, Gotham Knights focused on Gotham. Misha Collins as Harvey Dent in the trailer for “Gotham Knights” (The CW) But since we never knew this version of Bruce, it’s difficult to find pathos in his relationship with a heretofore unknown son. Given the way he’s shoehorned into a pre-existing universe, it really feels like they thought being Bruce Wayne-adjacent was enough. Morgan does what he can but, as written, “brooding earnestly” and “brooding darkly” are about all we get from Turner. Adopted by Bruce after being orphaned, Turner doesn’t learn until too late about his foster father’s penchant for beating up ne’er-do-wells every night while dressed in black. Here are all the details you need about The CWs new Batman show Gotham Knights, including the release date, cast, promos, and more. In lieu of familiar Bat-affiliated heroes such as Nightwing or Batgirl (both of whom were likely rendered off limits due to other screen commitments, including a recently-axed feature film for the latter), the focus here is newly-created lead Turner Hayes (Oscar Morgan). RACE AGAINST THE CLOCK With one of their own in trouble, the team scrambles to find a solution.
While there’s the kernel of an interesting idea at its core and some strong performances within the ensemble, it’s hampered by worldbuilding far too reliant on other interpretations of the myth for their resonance, and a core roster of young heroes not interesting enough to rouse our interest over the long haul. 1 day ago &0183 &32 Poison Pill Gotham Knights Season 1 Episode 10 Promo The CW by The CW Network on YouTube. Unfortunately, this makes the CW’s “Gotham Knights” feel like even more of a missed opportunity.

Indeed, though entirely unrelated, this series shares the name and basic premise (Gotham’s heroes attempt to maintain justice after Batman’s untimely demise) of a video game that dropped just last year. On the one hand it’s a remarkable testament to how well the Caped Crusader and his world have become part of our shared cultural landscape that even Gotham without its most famous denizen offers a raft of possibilities. That’s a whole lot of time to spend in and around Gotham City. ‘Gotham Knights’ Trailer: Misha Collins’ Harvey Dent Looks at Gotham’s Next Gen for Batman’s Killer (Video)
