At the CW upfronts, a lot of details were given about the fall and 2023 spring season, and it had some very interesting revelations. Not the least of which is about The Flash Season 9 debuting next year, Stargirl being the only DC Comics show in the fall, and then, there’s Gotham Knights, who got to show off their cast and even revealed a synopsis for the show in full:
“Batman is dead, and a powder keg has ignited Gotham City without the Dark Knight to protect it. In the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder, his adopted son Turner Hayes (Oscar Morgan, ‘De Son Vivant”) is framed for killing the Caped Crusader, along with the children of some of Batman’s enemies: Duela (Olivia Rose Keegan, “Days of Our Lives”), an unpredictable fighter and skilled thief who was born in Arkham Asylum and abandoned by her father, Harper Row (Fallon Smythe, “grown-ish”), a streetwise and acerbic engineer who can fix anything, and her brother Cullen Row (Tyler DiChiara, “The Virgin of Highland Park”), a clever transgender teen who is tired of being polite and agreeable. With the charismatic and hard-charging District Attorney Harvey Dent (Misha Collins, “Supernatural”) and the GCPD hot on their trail, Turner will rely on allies including his best friend and formidable coder Stephanie Brown (Anna Lore, “All American”), and unlikely Batman sidekick Carrie Kelley (Navia Robinson, “Raven’s Home”). But our Knights will soon learn there is a larger, more nefarious force at work within Gotham City. This team of mismatched fugitives must band together to become its next generation of saviors known as the GOTHAM KNIGHTS.”
This is indeed an interesting twist on things, but whether it’ll actually work is debatable. Especially since they canceled Batwoman to put this show on the air more or less. Plus, some aren’t going to like a “new Bat-son” being the main character when the Batfamily has plenty to pull from.
We’ll just have to see how it all goes in 2023.
