How this show is still happening is utterly beyond me.

I would've been so much happier with another season of Legends of Tomorrow instead. At least that show was fun!

With most CW shows, especially their superhero ones the first 1-2 seasons are usually quiet good but man i refuse to believe when it comes to Gotham Knights it will be like that. There is just no way.

Well, Batwoman was their first attempt at Batman without Batman and we all know how that went...

I still can’t believe they renamed the show The Origin of Batman’s Butler.

Like dang, just come out and say the viewership is low lol

This is Joe Chill. He kills Batman’s parents.

You’re thinking of Joe Camel. He’s a camel.

If killing a kids parents turned them into a vigilante, Joe Camel would have have millions of Batmen after him.

I thought that was Joe Cool.

EDIT: For anyone who doesn't know what I'm referencing, this scene from Harley Quinn.

Why so many non-Batman Batman shows going on at the CW? I don't get it. Is there some licensing issue that prevents them from actually using the character?

Edit: lmao not just Batman, wtf is going on with that entire cast? Why make a show focusing on the Batfamily if the only members you're actually allowed to use are Carrie Kelley's Robin and some series-original character as a Damian Wayne stand-in...

WB has a thing about reserving Batman for films. That's how we've had Birds of Prey, Gotham, Pennyworth, The Penguin, and now this steaming pile.

The Penguin will be an exception because they have movie Batman appearing

In fairness they are using Stephanie Brown, along with Harper and Cullen Row too (they are part of the Batfamily, but only just). I do find it weird they're using Stephanie without Tim Drake though, since she's mainly one of his supporting characters. I wouldn't be surprised if it turns out this Turner Hayes character ends up being revealed as Tim. It just seems strange they've created an original character for this show. It looks shit anyway, so it's not like its gonna have a high viewership, but if they had at least made him one of Bruce's already established sons then more people might watch it. It makes me think that Titans is the reason why they had to create an original character. They couldn't have two versions of the same character on different shows.

Ok, here’s my pitch for the next DC CW show.

It’s called “Guardians of Oa”, but all the Green Lanterns were killed off-screen before the first episode. Instead, we give three kids (one of them is Sinestro’s daughter, but looks nothing like Sinestro) a bright green Yamaha bike.

They cruise around northern Idaho every now and again and fight a guy in a banana yellow ski-mask who calls himself Parallax alongside his henchwoman, Jennifer “Bleez” Braithwaite, a corporate big wig who wears ruby earrings. Villains of the week include Hector Hammond, who is an online game streamer, and the mysterious “Larfleeze”, who is a crazy homeless man with an an orange stick that he spray painted.

They always beat the villain at the end of the episode by saying “beware our power, Green Lantern’s light,” before doing a kinda ok bike trick (we’ll poorly CGI it in post).

I think it’s gonna be a hit with the fanbase.
