![]() ![]() And let’s not forget Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman’s Butler, a title that could not be more clear as to what executives think they’re doing here. The CW’s Batwoman, while about another hero entirely, set itself in a Gotham where Batman was missing and another must pick up his mantle. HBO Max’s Titans at times skewed very close to being a Batman show, albeit one that endeavored to keep Batman off screen in favor of occasionally including an older Bruce Wayne. Fox’s Gotham hilariously contorted itself in an effort to feature all of Batman’s most famous villains but at a time when Bruce was still a child, ending with his first night out as Batman. Gotham Knights is not dissimilar to Birds of Prey, the 2002 WB series about a version of the Huntress that was the superhuman daughter of Batman and Catwoman in a Gotham that no longer had a Batman. TV absolutely loves a Batman-without-Batman show. I don’t know what’s going on here either. This is a scene from a show about Batman’s butler. It is, in other words, yet another attempt to make a Batman show without Batman. There’s orphans Harper Row (Fallon Smythe) and her brother, Cullen (Tyler DiChiara) fellow prep school attendee Stephanie Brown (Anna Lore, playing a character known for her alter ego The Spoiler) Carrie Kelley (Navia Robinson), the current Robin (it is unclear if there have been others) and Duela (Olivia Rose Keegan), the Joker’s daughter.Įventually, the whole gang is implicated for Wayne’s murder, and they band together to clear their names and fight the true threat: the Court of Owls, a secret society that has pulled Gotham City’s strings in secret for decades. ![]() ![]() His adopted son, Turner Hayes (Oscar Morgan, playing a character created for the show) is framed for the murder, and falls in with a motley crew of teen outcasts. The show, which premiered March 14, takes place in a Gotham City where Bruce Wayne is murdered and his secret identity as Batman is revealed to the world. For whatever reason, the Caped Crusader can’t have a normal-ass TV show.Ĭonsider the new CW series Gotham Knights. His movies are often the gold standard of comic book cinema his comics are usually at the top of the charts (try finding a DC comic without Batman in it each month) he’s in a bunch of absolutely killer cartoons he even broke the curse of lousy superhero video games! But if there’s a thorn in the side of the multimedia Bat-Empire, it’s live-action TV. Batman is one of the most popular superheroes in just about every medium. ![]()
