Despite some really badly done trailers, Gotham Knights turned out to be an enjoyable show, even if it only lasted one season. One of the things I enjoyed about the show was that they created a new spin on Gotham, bringing in elements from many different versions of the Bat-mythos.
The weird mashup of various versions of Gotham City is an interesting place. They’ve taken elements from all sorts of different tellings of the various Bat-related stories, and made something new, with a collection of characters that are mostly from different times and places, with a few originals. With the looming threat of the Court…
As I mentioned in the review about the pilot, they borrow story elements from all over the Batman mythos, and make something unique. I’m enjoying so far, as the plot thickens in “Scene of the Crime.”
I liked this a lot more than I thought I would. I have a lot of questions about characters either referred to in passing or not named at all, but I hope we’ll get there.
Whatever the fate of the related Arrowverse series, the end is not quite here for the concept of these shows. While I’ve heard little about the “Gotham U” show that’s supposed to figure David Ramsey’s John Diggle since the initial announcement, there’s at least one more show coming to the CW.
Mostly set in Arkham, we see the early days of Joker and Dr. Quinzel, before she descends into the madness of Harley. It’s a new and different take on the start of their story, and some early glimpses of some other characters.
