BATWOMAN Team Set to Develop GOTHAM KNIGHTS Series at The CW

A new Gotham Knights series is in the works at The CW from Batwoman writers Natalie Abrams, James Stoteraux, and Chad Fiveash. Stoteraux and Fiveash are executive producers on the show, with Abrams co-executive producing.

Gotham Knights is based on the characters created for DC by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. Variety reports that the series is not a spinoff of Batwoman, nor is it tied to the upcoming Gotham Knights video game.

Here’s the synopsis:

In the show, in the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder, his rebellious adopted son forges an unlikely alliance with the children of Batman’s enemies when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader. And as the city’s most wanted criminals, this renegade band of misfits must fight to clear their names. But in a Gotham with no Dark Knight to protect it, the city descends into the most dangerous it’s ever been. However, hope comes from the most unexpected of places as this team of mismatched fugitives will become its next generation of saviors known as the Gotham Knights.

This sounds like a pretty cool series. The CW shows are kind of hit or miss for fans. Are you excited about seeing Gotham Knights being adapted for TV?
