Other Frequently Asked Questions Fans Want to Know
Have more questions about the show? We cover all the burning DC fan questions about the Gotham Knights.
Is Gotham Knights TV Show a Sequel to Gotham?
While the new Gotham Knights series is considered part of the “Elseworlds” of the DC Universe and important to the canon, it is unrelated or a sequel to the series Gotham. Peter Safran and James Gunn, the leaders of the DCU, also said that Gotham Knights isn’t connected to any of the upcoming DC movies. It purely exists as its own DC stories like The Batman and Joker: Folie a Deux.
While there is a comic version of the Gotham Knights, the TV series focuses on lesser-known villain children than those of the comics. This way, the series can have more freedom from the comic storylines to create more modern, relatable characters.
Is the Gotham Knights TV Series Linked to the Video Game?
No. While both the video game and TV series share common storylines of a world after Bruce Wayne’s death and antagonists called the Court of Owls, they are not related. The video game and TV series pull themes, characters, and concepts from the Gotham Knights comics but are separate projects and worlds.
The video game and TV both choose different characters as their leads and as Robin. So while they seem like they would be related, they tell very different stories.
Which Robin is in Gotham Knights?
Carrie Kelley/Robin, played by Navia Robinson, is a 13-year-old Girl Scout who saved Batman from a serious situation and has become his new Robin. This version of Robin has appeared in some DC TV, animated shows, and the limited series The Dark Knight Returns.
Different from the Gotham Knights video game Robin, Carrie will bring some diversity and femininity to the role, offering a fresh perspective on a beloved role.
Does Damian Wayne Exist in Gotham Knights?
No, not in this TV series. Gotham Knights centers around Bruce Wayne’s adopted son Tucker Hayes instead of his actual son Damian Wayne. For those who would like Damian to make it to the big screen, you won’t have to wait for long.
Damian Wayne will be a character in the DCU live-action movie The Brave & The Bold, which is still in development. Damian is the son of Bruce Wayne and Talia al Ghul, the daughter of Batman villain Ra’s al Ghul, who appears in The Dark Knight Rises.
Who is Bruce Wayne’s Son in Gotham Knights?
Oscar Morgan plays Turner Hayes, an adopted son of Bruce Wayne and a new character created for the TV drama series. Bruce Wayne adopted Turner after Turner’s biological parents died ten years before the series premiere. Turner learns his adopted father is Batman and that he is framed for the murder just hours after learning of Bruce’s death.
Unlike other orphans that Bruce Wayne collects, Turner is unaware that Bruce is Batman and has no formal training, street smarts, or crime-fighting skills. It will take grit and determination to escape the DA’s suspicion, and he’ll have to call on some unlikely allies to uncover the true killer and clear his name.
Is Batman Alive in Gotham Knights?
No. Batman actually dies in the first episode, leaving no chance for Bruce Wayne’s return. The city is thrown into upheaval, and the newly formed Gotham Knights will have to rise to the challenge and restore order to the city.
Where was Gotham Knights Filmed?
Gotham Knights was filmed in Toronto, Ontario, and Atlanta, Georgia. Both cities provided the right feel and background to create Gotham for the series. Toronto and Atlanta are both known for their low filming costs and cinematic diversity.
