The CW’s ‘Gotham Knights’ Casts Trio of Lead Roles

The CW’s pilot Gotham Knights has cast three of its lead roles — including the central character of Bruce Wayne’s adopted son.

Oscar Morgan, Olivia Rose Keegan and Navia Robinson will star in the drama, which comes from Batwoman writers Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux and Natalie Abrams. The three actors join the previously cast Fallon Smythe andTyler DiChiara.

Gotham Knights is based on DC Comics characters created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger. It’s not a Batwoman spinoff, nor is it related to an upcoming Warner Bros. games release. The potential series is set in a Gotham City reeling from the murder of Bruce Wayne. His rebellious adopted son forms an alliance with the children of Batman’s enemies when they’re all framed for killing the Caped Crusader. With Gotham as dangerous as it’s ever been, the group of fugitives could be the city’s next saviors.
