Gotham Knights

Honestly, my initial interest mainly was because of Misha Collins. I was happy to see him on screen again and him being so excited for this show.

After watching the pilot I think the show needs to be judged on what it brought to the table instead of only 'what it should be according to the comics/DC snobs/give it a name'. I think that pilots are quite hard to shoot. Everything is new, sets, crew, actors that aren't that familiar with each other (yet).

Was it the best pilot I've ever seen? No. Was it the worst? Certainly not. I am curious to see where it is going to lead us and how they are going to approach the inevitable descend into madness of Harvey Dent. I'm also curious to see how the youngsters are going to navigate this whole pickle they are in.

Waiting patiently for next week.

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.

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 honestly quite enjoyed the first two episodes of this show. The first 20 minutes of the 1st episode was pretty crappy but it built up. The second episode was great and I actually rlly like the characters. This show would've been amazing as it's own show not as some Batman spin off. My main issue is the writers not bringing in characters from the original comics. In this show they slap the same names on characters and call it a day, and this is why most CW shows fail because they refuse to be faithful to the original. But it's still worth a watch if u can get past these random characters. I like how they deal with characters for example not every character u should trust. It's gruesome and gory and has a pretty good story line especially for a show that completely disregarded the original. I do think people go into CW shows with a bad mind set but please give it a watch and decide for yourselves.

There seems to be some kind of hate campaign against the CW! Sure, some of their content has not been the greatest BUT they have made some really good series.

Consequently, I find some of the really low ratings quite curious. Interestingly, those not invested in darkening the CW name have given this quite high scores - there seems to be little in the middle.

It is also odd that a series might be rubbished so early in its run. Come on folks - give it a chance!

For me, it is certainly not as good as Superman & Lois - yet. But I felt it was a reasonable start. So it's a different slant looking at the time after Batman. Surely that gives it a relatively clean slate and lots of potential?

The acting is nothing like as bad as some reviewers would have you believe. In particular, I felt Olivia Rose Keegan as Duela and Anna Lore as Stephanie Brown were standout newcomers. There's lots of action, the story pulls you in and the sfx are credible enough.

I shall certainly continue to watch it to see how it progresses. Hopefully, all the CW haters will actually go away and stop giving dumb reviews without foundation and let "normal" reviewers assess this properly on its own merit!
