Amid all of the CW’scancellation proclamation , new appearance have still been in the plant ( I know , that ’s the way TV works , but it still feel a piffling weird ) . Today we make a first smell at theGotham Knightstrailer , and while eagle - eyed hardcore Batman fan might be able to count on out whichteenage anti - heroesare asterisk in the show , most of us have to trust on Wikipedia so as to calculate out who these kid are supposed to be .

So if you did n’t catch that , we have Oscar Morgan asTurner Hayes , Bruce Wayne ’s adopted son , a fully new character that has never been in any comics , and seems relatively unimpressive . see Wayne is notorious for roll up wains for the only purpose of turning them into find phratry adoptee / babycops , the fact that Hayes seems to just be a disturbed rich child sense … eldritch . Something is up with this male child , for sure .

There are some familiar names – Navia Robinson asCarrie Kelley , a Robin who was introduced in the ‘ 80s by Frank Miller , and arguably the most famous grapheme out of all the teenagers featured in the poke . We also haveOlivia Rose KeeganasDuela Dent , Anna Lore asStephanie Brown , the succeeding Spoiler , Rahart Adams as Brody ( who I call up is a new graphic symbol but the chiropteran - poesy is too monolithic for little old me to keep up with ) , Fallon Smythe asHarper Row , and Tyler DiChiara as her crony , Cullen Row ( a canon reference , but who only appear as an object of a homophobic attack before Batman saves him and his sister ) .
labialise out the fine-tune class is CW vet , Misha Collins as Harvey Dent . It ’s deserving nothing that Duela in the lagger is called Joker ’s Daughter – an alias the theatrical role has ofttimes used . But with the appearing of Harvey Dent , it ’s much more potential that she ’s really Duela as she is in the comics and … and just wish being associated with the Joker for the topsy-turvydom factor ?
While a gritty adolescent anti - superhero show with a detective focus go like it could be cool , this drone is n’t doing anyone any favors . There are a grand total of four colouring material , and with an ensemble cast made up mostly of cipher from the comics , the worked up hooks are n’t in at all . The off - screen door decease of a parent is so absurdly familiar that it should be banish from all Batman related shows henceforward . Formulaic , stilted , and edited so that it look like literally everything the CW has put out in late years , Gotham Knights is already a disappointment . The entire trailer takes what should be a great assumption — the Batfamily is full of dear young characters , and we ’ve seen that executed well in everything fromWayne Family Adventuresto the much good looking video game alsocalled Gotham Knights — is a half - assed cashgrab from a connection that is tired of bankroll original theme and want to instead rely on franchise properties in an attempt to guarantee to their board that they ’ll go bad even every quarter .
Gotham Knights is set to premiere sometime in 2023 on the CW .
