The CW’s Gotham Knights series based on characters from the DC comics is taking shape. Navia Robinson (Raven’s Home), Fallon Smythe (grown-ish), Tyler DiChiara (The Virgin of Highland Park), Morgan (De Son Vivant) and Olivia Rose Keegan (Days Of Our Lives) are set as series regulars in the pilot.
Gotham Knights is written by Batwoman trio Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux and Natalie Abrams, and picks up after the death of Bruce Wayne, with his rebellious adopted son forging an unlikely alliance with the children of Batman’s enemies when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader.
Navia Robinson portrays Carrie Kelley. Fearless, idealistic, and plucky, Carrie talked her way into being Batman’s unlikely sidekick. If there’s a burning building or a person in need, she’s the first to rush in just as long as she’s home by curfew.
Fallon Smythe will play Harper Row. Described as streetwise, acerbic and often underestimated, the blue-haired bisexual is a gifted engineer who can fix anything. But what Harper wants most of all is to repair the broken lives of her and her brother, Cullen, the only person she trusts.
Tyler DiChiara will play Cullen Row. After years of hiding his true self from an abusive parent, the transgender teen is tired of being polite and agreeable. Clever and adept at reading human nature, Cullen is ready to fight his own battles.
Oscar Morgan portrays Turner Hayes. Despite the murder of his biological parents, Turner remains resilient and driven to live up to his billionaire adoptive father’s name. While charming and soulful, Turner has never quite felt comfortable in this world of wealth and privilege.
Olivia Rose Keegan plays Duela. Abrasive, unpredictable and a little unhinged, Duela is, above all, a survivor. Born in Arkham Asylum and abandoned by her father – the most dangerous man in Gotham – Duela forged herself into a brutal fighter and skilled thief.
Although Gotham Knights shares the same creative team as Batwoman, it is not part of the Arrowerse so don’t expect any crossovers with Batwoman or The Flash.
