Although The CW’s Arrowverse may be nearing its end in the coming days, the network is still highly involved in expanding the universe of DC stories from a variety of perspectives. This includes the planned Gotham Knights series, which will add to the Batman heritage in a unique way on one of DC’s main TV networks and will premiere in the near future. This new series will be something of a legacy adventure, as generations of Batman’s greatest villains team up with the Dark Knight’s adopted son in a Gotham City reeling in the aftermath of Bruce Wayne’s death.

In Gotham Knights, after Bruce Wayne’s assassination, his rebellious adopted son forms an odd alliance with the offspring of Batman’s foes when they are all falsely accused of murdering the Caped Crusader. This rogue band of outcasts must struggle to clear their identities as the city’s most sought criminals. However, in the absence of the Dark Knight, Gotham becomes the most deadly it has ever been. But, as this group of mismatched fugitives will become its next generation of saviors, optimism comes from the most unexpected places.
