Gotham Knights

Listen I know that CW isn't exactly good with making their DC shows but this one is actually pretty decent. I'm a big time Supernatural fan and i'd be lying if I said I didn't want to watch this cause of Misha and so far in the first episode alone he's done a very good job at portraying Harvey Dent and I can't wait to see his transformation into Two-Face. I enjoyed watching the kids and how they interacted with eachother and I hope that the chemistry continues. I also really love the diversity of the cast and the characters. This show isn't the greatest but I like it and I really recommend it. Whether you're a DC fan, a CW fan, or a Supernatural fan just wanting to watch this cause Misha is in it, I think you should watch it.

I initially thought about writing a far more detailed review about this show, maybe talk about how it failed to deliver for both comic fans and fans of the game . However after watching the entire show, I cam to the conclusion that this show does NOT DESERVE that much effort.

All you need to know is that this show sports some of the worst dialogue deliveries in TV show history and the acting and direction is almost on part in the worst way possible. This is an insult to everything Batman, Gotham Knights and the Gotham City universe is supposed to be, it is a waste of resources and it will be a waste of your time if you give it a chance, you can do much better. There are plenty of shows out there that will respect your attention and intelligence a lot more.

Don't generally write reviews, but here we are. It was a strong first episode, the scenes were snappy without feeling rushed. Misha Collins plays a fantastic Harvey Dent, and I am really digging the chaotic vibes that Rose Keegan is bringing in. Some of the acting was a bit stilted in a few of the scenes, but it's just the pilot and a bit of stiffness is to be expected. I have high hopes for the next episode, as well as the rest of the season. Abrams is a great screenwriter, and I am really looking forward to what they have coming up. Really my only complaint here is how dark the scenes are, but that's easily fixed by fiddling with the TV settings.

This review is going to be a bit of a mess - much like this show.

It's not good. The acting is lacklustre. The tone is all over the place. The story could be intriguing but gets bogged down in teeny-bopper melodrama, as my dad would say.

I don't want to include spoilers because if you want to watch this show, you should go in with no expectations. Seriously, don't have ANY expectations with this show.

I LOVE DC properties but this show just ain't it. The main character was created for the show; which, sometimes works, like Chloe in 'Smallville' but it seems bonkers to do it for your main protagonist, because the pilot does little to make you care about him.

The diversity in characters and actors is great, I just don't know if that will make up for terrible writing and bland delivery.

It shouldn't go past it's first season.

Let me just say that I went into the show with very low expectations. I had heard all of the negative buzz surrounding the show, and really was expecting to hate it like everyone else but surprisingly Gotham Knights actually is pretty good. Now don't get me wrong the show definitely has the typical flaws of a CW show some cringy dialogue and acting and the lower budget with the costumes. However, at the same time, it also is a little bit darker than your typical CW show. I mean, in the very first episode, we see a guy get his head chopped off and they showed it, which I never would have expected The CW of all places to show something like that.

The characters I also liked in the series Turner Hayes may not be the best protagonist as you really feel like they just wanted to use Dick Grayson but weren't able to, but he's a decent protagonist and I think he has potential. I also surprisingly liked all three of the villain kid characters, especially the jokers daughter, who I expected to be the biggest cringiest of them all, and she's actually the most interesting and complex character. I also thought it was really cool that we got to see Stephanie Brown in the series as I believe it was her first live action appearance, and it was so cool getting to see that for the first time. And so far I think they have done a good job with the court of owls. I think the talon was done good in the last episode, and I like the mystery they are building there with them.

Overall, I got to say I was pleasantly surprised with Gotham Knights. I actually think that more people should go into the show with an open mind and give it a chance it's not the greatest DC show out there but I think that this show has a lot of potential, and I'm excited to watch the rest of the season.
