CW's Gotham Knights is the Bottom of the Barrel

Gotham Knights was clowned in when the trailer came out but now the day has finally come, episode 1 has aired and proved everyone wrong. it's much better than expected but that's not really saying much. Gotham Knights uses the absolute bottom of the barrel of Gotham City is show with the exact same plot of the "Gotham Knights" video game but with worse characters.

This video is a review of Gotham Knights Season 1 Episode 1 "Pilot".

WHY isn't Batman ever the star of a live-action tv show these days?!

[MrSecretSentai]

The funniest thing about this first episode is a bunch of kids breaking into Batman’s office without gloves on abc just picking up a loaded gun. Genius

[Drifter]

Stephanie was adopted by Bruce at some point so they should’ve made her the main character instead of making Turner Hayes since we assume they weren’t allowed to use the male Robins.

You know a comic book show is bad when they don’t wear their costumes
Edit:Man you guys are overthinking it

[councilmanbanks]

You say it exceeds expectations, but the trailer made it look worse than the entirety of Batwoman, Supergirl Season 5 and 6, Arrow Season 4, and Flash Season 7 combined

CW Executives: "Look! We've finally adapted Stephanie Brown to live-action! She looks cool, isn't she?" 😌
Chuck Dixon: "WHO THE HELL IS THIS CHICK?!"

[wickdaline]

Makes the game Gotham Knights look good, don't it?

1:30 It's pretty funny how two boys in a yellow cape and green shorts are much more respectable heirs to Batman than this "mature" and "serious" man.

This show made me respect the Gotham knights game so much more 😂

[richielouis]

I feel bad for Misha Collins he went from being on supernatural to this garbage

[markstriker]

The actors look like this is the first time they are acting.

[bogdan.gavril]

It’s just me or Joker’s daughter is extremely similar to Alice from Batwoman, too similar tbh 😭

[SoldierSpiderx]

The Tone and Vibe is PURE CW, there you go...just saved you an Hour. This has 1 season only written all over it and I was also bothered by the fact everyone thinks these teens could've killed Batman. How are they beating up trained officers like this with most likely no training? The mask that was on Bruce looks different than the one in the case.

[Iwillone]

There is no way the court of owls would have any trouble in killing these mundane teenagers.

[TheCreepypastaChannel]

They didn’t base the show off of the game, both are based of the events following the Death of Batman, “The battle for the Crowl.” Where everyone in the Bat Family, including Two Face and Red hood fought to be the next protector of Gotham. That’s why the beginnings were similar. The game was also meant to introduce the story arc to people who didn’t know it before the tv series.

So let me get this straight. Stargirl, one of the best shows I have ever seen, was cancelled. And this is what replaced it?

This horrible show makes me feel even more bad for Duela Dent because of the wasted potential here. For those who don't know, Duela began her publication history with a lot of importance, to the point of even being part of the original Teen Titans. However, the character ended up falling into obscurity during the Bronze Age of comics, as she became an aged person with mental problems who only made casual appearances (like during Donna Troy's wedding or the first issue of the Countdown event). Her new version of the New 52 did not help Duela to recover her popularity either. Obviously, this new live-action show won't improve her reputation at all

i just watched the first two episodes, and honestly not that bad. it has its dumb and confusing moments like SPOILERS: not stabbing through a car door to immediately kill someone and then resorting to stabbing through said car to spill gas. then the inside door handle being hot, but maybe its always hot, idk what car interiors feel like in the summer. then theres the fact that its obviously a CW show, which you immediately remember towards the end of episode two with how the cringey teen music comes on. so yes, its confusing and feels like a fanfiction come to like more than anything with what seems like complete OCs and new characters completely. the trailer was god-awful, but the show itself wasnt that bad, just pretty CW-ey.

Nah, Carrie Kelly stole Cisco's goggles though.

"I doubt it'll make it past season one"

Welp you got that right lmao
