Earlier this year, The CW, a network known for broadcasting DC shows set in the TV universe known as Arrowverse, has ordered the pilot episode for one more DC show — Gotham Knights. Now, Variety has learned exclusively that Fallon Smythe and Tyler DiChiara are the first two stars to start in the pilot episode, and the whole series if the network picks it up.

Fallon Smythe will star as Harper Row, while Tyler DiChiara will star as her brother, Cullen. Harper Row is known in the DC comics as Bluebird. The series is developed by Natalie Abrams, James Stoteraux, and Chad Fiveash, who previously worked on the Batwoman TV series, which recently ended its third season. Earlier reports said that the Gotham Knights series will not be a Batwoman spin-off, and it won’t be set in the Arrowverse either due to the timeline differences.

Check the official description of the series down below:

“In the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder, his rebellious adopted son forges an unlikely alliance with the children of Batman’s enemies when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader. And as the city’s most wanted criminals, this renegade band of misfits must fight to clear their names. But in a Gotham with no Dark Knight to protect it, the city descends into the most dangerous it’s ever been. However, hope comes from the most unexpected of places as this team of mismatched fugitives will become its next generation of saviors known as the Gotham Knights.” — Gotham Knights TV series, official synopsis

With the TV series in development, let’s not forget there’s also the Gotham Knights video game which is set to be released this year for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The game will follow four playable characters: Nightwing, Batgirl, Robin, and Red Hood.

Lukas Abramovich is a freelance writer and photo and video editor based in Croatia. He's also a web designer and holds a Master’s degree in general Computer Science from the Faculty of Informatics based in Pula, Croatia. Since 2018, Lukas has worked on several portals writing about movies, TV shows, and video games. He's currently writing articles for two of them: Fiction Horizon and Comic Basics. He also has a YouTube channel in his native language, and the content there is mostly reviewing popular movies and TV shows. Lukas also has an Instagram page where he once used to post fan-made posters he made, which is something he would like to continue working on, as photo and video editing are also some of his passions. Lukas is a big movie lover who is okay with watching any kind of movie. His favorite movie is Michael Curtiz's Casablanca, but he's a loyal follower of Marvel and DC movies, as well as several other blockbuster franchises he's been following for years; Star Wars, Fast & Furious, Mission: Impossible, and James Cameron's Avatar are only some of them. His favorite director is Christopher Nolan, with Quentin Tarantino and Denis Villeneuve as honorable mentions. Lukas is also a big fan of four fantasy multimedia franchises; The Wizarding World, A Song of Ice and Fire, The Witcher, and The Lord of the Rings. He calls them "the four rulers of the fantasy genre." He loves to write about anything spawned from those franchises (books, games, movies...), as well as anything branded with the Marvel or DC logo. Video games and their adaptations are also something he follows faithfully since he's a big fan of story-driven single-player games like Assassin's Creed, The Last of Us, Uncharted, etc. His favorite video game ever is Red Dead Redemption 2.
