Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch face new challenges in season 3 of 'Superman & Lois.' Shane Harvey/THE CWĪs for ‘Superman & Lois,” what had been a bright spot for the CW starts its season slowly, with an uninspired serialized threat and a lot of emphasis on juggling relationships among the core cast. Mainly, the show fuels the perception that despite the character’s durability, it’s possible to dip into the Batcave once too often. “Gotham Knights” is watchable for committed fans of the genre or DC completists, but it mostly feels like another test of the franchise’s coattails (or cape tails). Plus, if you have questions about all the unaccounted-for parents in the show, get in line. The atmosphere certainly oozes the dark vision of a corrupt, dystopian Gotham that we’ve come to know, but it loses a lot by wedding that to a “Gossip Girl” (pick your version) sensibility.

The ill-tempered daughter of the Joker, Duela (Olivia Rose Keegan), also gets pulled into this de facto Scooby team, along with a sibling pair of accomplished thieves, Harper (Fallon Smythe) and Cullen Row (Tyler DiChiara).Ĭircumstances turn them all into fugitives, and there’s plenty of squabbling and bickering among them, with Duela teasingly referring to Turner as “Bat-brat.” As for the serialized mystery, the main thread involves the shadowy criminal enterprise known as the Court of Owls, whose nefarious doings make the teen contingent seem to be in way over their heads. Still, Turner wasn’t really brought into the family’s bat-business, with one of his school classmates, Carrie Kelley (Navia Robinson), having acted as Batman’s sidekick Robin. Joining a long list of productions peripherally connected to the Caped Crusader ( “Gotham,” “Titans,” “Pennyworth” and “Batwoman” among them), “Gotham Knights” begins with the provocative premise that Batman/Bruce Wayne has been murdered, leaving his adopted son, Turner Hayes (Oscar Morgan), to try to find out who’s responsible. Is this a story that has been told before? - Definitly, but this show suprised me with how well it tells this story in a setting that is new and old at the same time.Superman and Batman sounds like a pretty solid one-two punch, but the details of that combination somewhat undo the CW’s new Tuesday lineup, featuring the third season of “Superman & Lois” and a new Dark Knight-adjacent drama, “Gotham Knights.” Specifically, the former doesn’t fly as high this time out, while the latter plays too much like a “Riverdale” wannabe. On the other hand, what this show really is to me, is a story about finding youself and riding the forementioned self of the expectations of others. It is a slow change in their respective relationships wich the viewer notices with the characters themselfes. The show combines a quite decent mysterie story arround the court of owls with certain hints of lovestorys, wich work, because they are not really talked about by the characters. Once the show has established it´s main characters it actually gets quite interessting and you start to grow fond of the characters, especially noted being Duella and Harvey Dent. For me, that bad feeling left pretty quickly though. I admit, that does leave a bit of a bad taste in my mouth too. It is set in the Batman Universe, but barely any Batman characters make an appearence, at least in the first episodes.

He's not an overblown cartoonish character, which is great, and I'm curious to see how that story progresses. I love the subtle nuances to Fugue Harvey. We've just begun to meet Two-Face, or Fugue Harvey, and Misha is doing a fantastic job. Cullen has quickly become a favorite, along with Carrie! The interactions between Duela and Turner & Stephanie and Harper have been amazing. The batbrats are growing as a group and their interactions and fight for justice are action packed and entertaining. I'm loving the character driven storylines. This was my initial impression after the pilot and I continue to be impressed. Misha cuts an impressive figure and is a great anchor as Harvey Dent, it will be peak heart wrenching entertainment to watch him unravel. The kiddos are entertaining and have great chemistry. The 'this season on Gotham Knights' promo at the end was such a good idea and will have me and others tuning back in. The episode is quick, entertaining, and informative without beating you over the head with it. We jumped in feet first and hit the ground running. I decided to watch Gotham Knights because of Misha, and he is amazing!īut even if you aren't a Misha fan or a huge
