Batwoman was maligned by audiences, we need to do better. I know, let’s turn Batman into a teen drama. Great idea, and let’s get the CW to make it.

Great idea, and let’s get the CW to make it. Gotham Knights is… is… does anyone know a word better than atrocious? Appalling maybe? The writing is abysmal, the acting is awful and the story is fraking stupid. This show is horrible. It has no redeeming qualities. It’s like vomit and diarrhea poured into a vat of rotten eggs. I cannot comprehend how this was thought up, much less approved. Do the writers and producers for this fish poop really think they have a hit or do they know they just scraped gunk off the bottom of their shoes?… Expand

When you give showrunners who already ran a show into the ground, aka Batwoman, a new toy to play with, all one can expect are the same results.

Gotham Knights ticks all these boxes and like Batwoman, fated for cancellation.… Expand

I couldn't make it through the first episode before feeling the absolute necessity of coming here to write a review. The writing is actually terrible in a multifaceted way. First and foremost, it's lazy. For instance, Turner finds his dad's secret bat cave right after he is informed that his dad was Batman. Not because he had a feeling he might know where it would be, but because he randomly threw a glass at it..... again, IMMEDIATELY after he found out his dad was batman. He went an entire life time without finding this bat cave; how convenient he found it so quickly. Add to that, the fact that the secret access to the bat cave was WAY too easy for people to find. Parties take place at Wayne manor and all that needed to happen was for somebody to lean on the stone and viola...Bruce Wayne's secret is exposed.

The trio of "criminals" who are framed for the murder of Bruce Wayne are just absurd. I lived half of my life in the narcotics/criminal world.....I have never seen criminals like this before. And I doubt I ever will. Because teenagers who actually are hardened criminals, don't look or talk like these kids do. Outlandish villains are a part of Gotham's lore but this is just stupid. The "criminal" teens are being interviewed by the police and Harvey Dent gets mad at his partner for potentially dead naming one of them. I almost died of cringe. Duela tells the police that they need to get their story straight and I'm thinking: Uhh, lady....they have you at the scene of the crime, with your prints on the gun, and large sums of money that you recently received for what appears to be a contract killing. They have you dead to rights; they don't need to "get their story straight" at all.

I could go on and on and I only watched 30 minutes. The people who wrote this show need to find another career path because this is downright pathetic. I will say that it all was visually appealing and the production value didn't seem that low. It's a shame because with talented writers who weren't politically driven, this show could have been really great. Instead, we are left with dialogue that could have been written by teenagers. A show for teenagers shouldn't be written by morons who have the brains of teenagers. But that's what we got from the CW....again. The CW is an embarrassment..WOW. The radical leftist agenda is a failing one that is stripping money from these giant companies. The only thing that keeps them going is massive amounts of money being pumped into them through a line of credit based on their ESG scores. Thanks Blackrock for all you do.… Expand

Another cheap, unimaginative, cheesy teen drama from the CW. I can't fathom why DC keep allowing this kind of garbage to go into production.

I could spend hours on plot holes, inconsistencies and sheer stupidity of writing , but on top of that, they went for every DEI tick box they could, mary sues, karens abound, this is so bad it makes Bat woman look like the sopranos

What is the point of a show in batman universe that hates batman ? They seem more interested in seeing how many DEI tick boxes they can squeeze in than actually writing a good show, continuity errors are abundant, logic leaps plentiful and 0What is the point of a show in batman universe that hates batman ?
