The CW releases the latest Gotham Knights season 1 trailer, which will premiere on Tuesday, March 14, focusing on the teen heroes.
The CW has released the latest official trailer for Gotham Knights season 1, which will premiere on Tuesday, March 14. While the Arrowverse is starting to reach its end, The CW still has DC TV shows planned, at least for this season. The Flash season 9 will officially bring the Grant Gustin series to an end after running for nearly a decade. Superman & Lois season 3 will be arriving in mid-March on Tuesday nights. For The CW’s latest DC TV entry, the network is launching Gotham Knights, from the Batwoman writers/producers. While stemming from creatives of the canceled Arrowverse drama, Gotham Knights is not meant to be a spinoff.
The CW (via TV Promos) has released the latest Gotham Knights season 1 trailer, focusing on Bruce Wayne’s adoptive son and his new allies. The DC TV drama will be airing right after Superman & Lois season 3, starting on Tuesday, March 14, as part of The CW’s “Super Tuesdays”.
Despite sharing the name with the video game, the Gotham Knights TV show is not connected to or based on the 2022 RPG. Arrowverse creator Greg Berlanti serves as executive producer, along with Batwoman’s Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux, and Natalie Abrams. Gotham Knights season 1 will consist of 13 episodes, similar to the new CW shows, The Winchesters and Walker: Independence. The DC TV project is the last new show to premiere as part of The CW’s 2022-2023 TV season.
Everything Revealed In The Latest Gotham Knights Season 1 Trailer
The premise behind Gotham Knights centers on the mysterious death of Batman, as his adoptive son, Turner Hayes, gets framed for his murder. However, the Gotham Knights show will also see children of Batman’s enemies get accused too. Turner says at one point that the reason they think he killed Batman is to get Bruce’s fortune. Duela is a suspect due to the fact that she is Joker’s daughter, although at one point, Harvey Dent does question Duela whether or not she truly is Joker’s offspring.
The Gotham Knights season 1 trailer sees Turner eventually bringing the other kids together to solve Batman’s murder. However, it’s easier said than done for them to become the new heroes of Gotham City when they are also the most wanted fugitives. While masked, there are a number of masked assassins that go after them throughout the footage. Whether or not they are DC characters or original creations remains to be seen. Despite not having super suits yet, the Gotham Knights trailer ends with the teen heroes already getting out on the streets.
Will Gotham Knights Survive On The CW?
Given the massive changes behind The CW last year, time will tell if Gotham Knights will go beyond season 1. Before Nexstar acquired 75 percent of The CW, most Arrowverse/DC TV shows were safe as they kept getting renewed season after season. However, as Arrowverse fans witnessed in 2022, Batwoman, Legends of Tomorrow, and Stargirl all were canceled by the network, with even DC TV newcomer, Naomi, getting axed after only one season. Nexstar is also looking to focus on a new demographic, which will affect its programming slate too. Since The CW’s future slate is looking to have less than five original scripted series, time will tell if Gotham Knights will live for another season.
