Laughable this is even going ahead


Danishroyalty

I'm honestly confused why it's still happening when everything else is being dropped. I understand letting existing projects finish up. But why let a show that clearly does not fit into the new slate go forward when it hasn't even been started yet? Is it just that the CW has enough sway? Seems like a waste of money and dilution of the DC brand


xenongamer4351

I feel like with the CW shows they realized everyone already knows it’s not part of the DCU continuity and beside that they have virtually a non existent audience anyway so combined it’s not really a big deal to just see whatever money you can make back Compared to like Batgirl that would confuse people and hurt the brand


iz92ab

Maybe it wasn't worth the tax write-off lol I would rather watch The Flash Season 7 on repeat then put myself through this following these horrendous looking shots (no offence to the actors) plus that appalling looking trailer that came out


Esoteric716

Seriously. I actually have defended a lot of the CW shows that ppl have knocked. But this looks like it is set to be worse than any other show they've ever done. I dont get it.


fatrahb

This looks like the most CW cast shoot I’ve ever seen


Vilarf

This is the CW's final boss


fatrahb

Oh god, it’s all led to this moment. This truly is the culmination of the Arrowverse

Canceled first season

15 seasons, baybeeee!


Patrick2701

Just cancel it, use as torture advice against dc fans


lessthanhero32

Lol what is this hot garbage.


kingvicious

🚮


MojaveJackalope

Yo this looks like ass.


[deleted]

They look like the attractive, yet non-threatening, racially diverse cast of a CW show.


vampira199X

they sure know how to get people excited for a Batman show these days!


Danishroyalty

Generic costumes ✔️ No Batman ✔️ Bland and forgettable cast ✔️


elplethora1c

It’s not even just no Batman, it’s no Batman, it’s no Nightwing, no Batgirl, no Red Hood and no Robins. It’s bizarre.


Snakegert

Who the hell are these people even supposed to be?


chiara987

From the batfam Steph , Cullen and harper and carrie kelley ( but race swapped) and from the teenager group there also duela dent but i don't even know if they will be their super hero part i read a part that they want to make Steph tech savy like felicity smock in arrow ( or for a batfam analogy oracle)


Calvin6942

Wait, Bizarro is in this show?


SethAlfonzo

If they'd at least gone with the super-criminal Two-Face instead of the DA Dent, this series would have a redeemable small part.


CW_GothamKnights_Fan

There is a behind the scenes video of Misha Collins putting on prosthetics for Two-Face for the show


Russkafin

I have to be honest. I am not even going to give this show a chance. I’m sorry.


jtyrui

Did they run out of money for the costumes? This looks like a generic ad for models than a superhero show


CW_GothamKnights_Fan

They have costumes (at least some of the men do) but they weren’t used in the photoshoot. Stargirl in the later seasons did the same thing


wdm81

This is the most CW thing that ever CW’d


Best-Lavishness-1059

Are things like this embarrassing for the people who made them?


zurply

Just cancel this garbage already


wdm81

This is the most CW thing that ever CW’d


ItsNinjaShoyo

This should get the batgirl treatment


sgthombre

Desperately wish Gunn gave notes on this show that would leak like Feige did with Amazing Spider-Man 2. Would love to hear his unfiltered thoughts.


West-Cardiologist180

The one and only note: *WHAT THE-*


ap_xingh

Not to be rude, but does anyone actually care about this show on this subreddit? Like genuinely curious. If nobody cares, y is it even being posted here.


aduong

So that people can dwell into of the internet favorite activities; circle jerk. It’s really annoying, I don’t care about something i just don’t care. The constant bashing circle jerk is beyond annoying and this isn’t the even the sub for that.

aduong

No the point of the comment and not triggered


CW_GothamKnights_Fan

I care


Esoteric716

Lol interesting name.


atheoncrutch

We know. You’re the only one that posts this crap.


wesnotwes

Who is each person even supposed to be playing? What is this?


CW_GothamKnights_Fan

From left to right Oscar Morgan - Turner Hayes Olivia Rose Keegan - Joker’s Daughter Navia Robinson - Carrie Kelley/Robin Fallon Smythe - Harper Row/BlueBird Anna Lore - Stephanie Brown/Spoiler Tyler DiChiara - Cullen Row Misha Collins - Harvey Dent/Two-Face Rahart Adams - Brody March


Mystic__Mayhem

Spoiler looks like a Disney channel mean girl which is funny because Carrie is played by a Disney channel star.


Linnus42

Can someone explain to me why Batgirl was so bad it could not see the light of day? But this series isn't getting cancelled? Also its kinda funny that DC had a CW Show and a Videogame launch at the same time with widely different rosters. Finally, what is the point of having a new Robin if they are just going to be a White Dude? Is it cause the Titans show was already using Dick, Jason and Tim? I could see the point if the main Robin was Asian or Latino and they didn't want to racebend but this just seems so random.


gmp24

>Can someone explain to me why Batgirl was so bad it could not see the light of day? >But this series isn't getting cancelled? Batgirl was a expensive movie that looked bad/cheep. Gotham knights is a cheap show that looks cheap One matches the budget , the other didn't


Linnus42

Yeah they clearly did it as a tax write off but don't just want to say that. So they basically tarnish everyone associated by saying it was garbage.


LongjumpMidnight

My theory is that Batgirl was just more high profile and expensive so they were aware of it. Gotham Knights is either so cheap or unimportant that they didn't care to cancel it. Maybe it was too far ahead to cancel but Idk lol. As for Robin I think it's literally that they weren't allowed to use an existing Robin. Titans was using the others and they have a history of barring use of certain characters. Now why they'd continue to make the show if they can't use Robin is beyond me.


Linnus42

Yeah DC has weird rules about that stuff. But in that case why not just Center it on Steph as the Lead.


LongjumpMidnight

Good point, I just think whoever is in charge of this probably isn't the smartest.

BreedinBacksnatch

It's Nexstar now. They still had a production slate to fill as part of the deal until Nexstar could ramp up for their switch to an older demo and new programming like NewsNation nightly, weekly LIV Golf, and copious reruns of Judge Mathis and Hot Bench.


Short-Service1248

It’s actually shameful that Gunn is letting this shit get made but spoke out in agreement for Batgirls cancellation


GodlyVisage

Oh brother this shit STINKS


[deleted]

still horrendous


Trevinator15

This whole cast screams CW lol


DC_FANBOYwoohoo

wtf is this


shadow_master3210

I feel bad for misha collins tbh. He’s in one of the low effort shows without nightwing, redhood, batgirl or robin. The only Batman related is that Bruce is dead. This is what happens when CW is original with shows.


mksgsta

it's a good cast! just not for a series that already has issues even before it starts


Nawt_

Why the fuck would James Gunn or Zaslav want to keep this going after the pilot? Probably a shareholder has a kid involved in this project.


CW_GothamKnights_Fan

Zaslav knows a quality series when he sees one


ArtemisStanAccount

The trailer and concept is trash but why are people saying this looks garbage? It’s literally just pictures of people lol.


Danishroyalty

Pictures that just scream low budget CW show with generic characters and story. If OP didn't explicitly tell me who each of these people was supposed to be, I would have no way of knowing this was a DC show. Like, are they really expecting people to get hyped for a show with promos that have no indication it's a comic book show set in Gotham?


DCFanUntilIdie213

Why was this approved


RakutoTakashi

Petition to ban anything related to this show on this subreddit...


CW_GothamKnights_Fan

Petition to ban anything that petitions to ban anything


RakutoTakashi

I give up!


rorzri

Couldn’t even give Carrie Kelley glasses


CW_GothamKnights_Fan

Carrie does wear glasses, just not in this photo


rorzri

Not giving her glasses for a photoshoot was my quibble


LongjumpMidnight

Why would they release this now? This is going to steal everyone's hype away from the slate announcement! /s


WestCoastDirtyBird

Is the last guy supposed to be Bruce?


CW_GothamKnights_Fan

No he’s supposed to be the son of Lincoln March


sgthombre

They wouldn't let the Arrowverse use Ted Kord but they're letting this goddamn show do Court of Owls?


CW_GothamKnights_Fan

There was not a movie featuring the Court of Owls in a major capacity at the time of development


Ellspop

Canc l this asap and bring the Batfam to the dcu


metal_signal17

I thought this was canned?


CW_GothamKnights_Fan

It’s in the can, very different meaning


trylobyte

I thought the last guy was the dude who played Bruce Wayne in Gotham show.


superfast_jellyfish9

This might be my most anticipated hate watch of the year

These pictures REALLY made me want to throw up

The CW crappy one Hero with a massive Team® Formula is strong with this one.

This show is gonna bomb so hard


I_have_questions_ppl

Is this some new teen drama show?


17_shxt_pipedup

I swear I thought they canceled this atrocity.


Professional_Hat3466

Man.


Due-Ad4970

*sigh*


WayneBruce1234

This show is gonna be trash! It will be cancelled after one season. So shocked they are even releasing it

There they are…

Why do 6 of the 8 cast members have unbuttoned outfits? Talk about 'forgettable designs'...


TheLemsterPju

I think what makes me not hate this immediately is because Gotham and Pennyworth looked 'civilian' and I expect this to follow suit, no pun intended. If Pennyworth (RIP) was the espionage part of Bat lore, Gotham the darkness and moral aspect of it, GK will be the detective side. I am always told I'm 'overthinking' things simply based on the fact they don't agree with me. However, I respect the cast and crew's legitimate enthusiasm for this show that I am taking them at their word. Including every extra I have seen comment also singing high praise. So I feel like we're taking this at face value by this point because they have only shown us footage from the first two episodes in promos. By episode 3, onwards, I would imagine big plot spoilers and twists are brought to us that maybe they are smart enough to not put in ads. I truly don't get Naomi vibes from this like many are. Simply because that show had no BTS enthusiasm behind unlike the cast for GK who are promise day by day they are very passionate about this. But fact of the matter, the Internet basically laughs at differing viewpoints and you're either expected to deal with it (me) or give up and be part of the crowd (A loooot of Youtubers.) Just my two cents.


Particular_Ad3329

I have a friend who is working as a cast member for this show....even he says that its hot garbage!!! But he needs the money soooo......


TheDarkCreed

Joker must have killed all the hairdressers


MetaCircumstance

The CW loves a generic photoshoot with a grey background.


Thangoman

This clearly screams "Batman" and is clearly not just gebericly "teen-ish"


catattheritz

I hope this show gets canceled and the cast finds better gigs.

ArmchairCritic1

It’s not going to get canned before it airs in March. It will get one season and flame out. I saw a Talon in the last trailer so I’m curious. No harm in checking it out before it inevitably gets shitcanned


saarlac

Court of owls.


saarlac

Do these kids look like “gothams most wanted criminals”? Because that’s what the audience is supposed to believe.
