Check Out the New Gotham Yikes Trailer, I Mean Gotham Knights Trailer

There are still new shows in the works despite the CW's cancellation announcements. We got a first look at the trailer for the show, and while eagle-eyed hardcore Batman fans might be able to figure out which teenage anti-heroes are starring in the show, most of us have to rely on Wikipedia in order to figure out who these children are.

If you didn't catch that, we have Oscar Morgan as Bruce Wayne's adopted son, a character that has never been in a comic book. Considering Wayne is notorious for amassing wains for the sole purpose of turning them into found family adoptees/ babycops, the fact that Hayes seems to just be a maladjusted rich kid feels weird. Something is not right with this boy.

The most famous character in the trailer is Carrie Kelley, a Robin who was introduced in the 80s by Frank Miller. I think we have a new character in the bat-verse, but I don't think I can keep up with it.

Harvey Dent is played by CW vet, Misha Collins. Duela in the trailers is often referred to as the character's daughter. With the appearance of Harvey Dent, it's more likely that she's actually Duela as she is in the comics and that she likes being associated with the Joker for the chaos factor.

The trailer isn't doing anyone any favors, it sounds like a teenage anti-superhero show with a detective focus. The emotional hooks aren't in with the ensemble cast made up mostly of nobodies from the comics. The off-screen death of a parent should be banned from all Batman related shows. It looks like everything the CW has put out in the last few years, so it is already a disappointment. The entire trailer takes what should be a great premise, that the Bat family is full of beloved young characters, and we have seen that executed well in everything from Wayne Family Adventures to the much better looking video game also called Gotham Knights.

The CW has a show called "Gotham Knights" that is set to premiere in 2023.
