CW's GOTHAM KNIGHTS Casting Roster Reveals Key Characters in the Upcoming Series
The CW is continuing to move forward, expanding its slate of live-action DC content with the upcoming series Gotham Knights, and while the network has not yet officially revealed the characters and synopsis for the show, a new report gives us a glimpse into what and who we may see. Murphy’s Multiverse reports that a source has given them access to the descriptions of the series regulars that they currently looking to cast.
Most notably, Gotham Knights is “looking for an actor, 18 or older, to fill the role of a series regular that fits the bill of Dick Grayson, the first Robin and adopted son of Bruce Wayne. Described as ‘athletic’ and ‘sensitive,’ the character remains resilient despite being vulnerable following the murder of his parents and subsequent adoption by Wayne.”
The report goes on to add, “Stephanie Brown, aka Spoiler, a genius-level hacker whose father, a DC villain called Cluemaster, raised her on a ‘steady diet of brain teasers and puzzles.’ Gotham Knight is searching for an 18-year old actress to portray the ‘sarcastic and smart’ character.”
They deduce that “Harper Row, aka Bluebird, is set to join Grayson on the team. The studio is searching for a female to play a ‘blue-haired bisexual’ character who has taken to the streets to escape her abusive home life. Her brother, Cullen, also looks to be joining the series with the studio searching for a transgender actor who identifies as male for the role.”
The series will also feature “‘a quick-witted British attaché’ who sounds like she could be Julia Pennyworth, daughter of Alfred Pennyworth. In the comics, Julia came into the picture after her father was disabled following an attack from Hush. Following in her father’s footsteps, she helped the Bat Family coordinate their efforts.”
One of the more surprising characters is one described as the daughter of “the most dangerous man in Gotham.” Could this be the Joker’s daughter, Duela Dent, who claimed to be the daughter of the Joker as well as about every villain in Gotham?
The CW is also searching for a handful of other series regulars, including one that could be Lucius Fox’s daughter, Tiffany, to join the team in addition to the already exciting number of characters listed here, many of whom will be making their live-action debut.
