The pilot episode will start production soon, and the network will make a decision if the series will be picked up before The CW Upfronts event in May.

Collins confirmed the casting on his Twitter account. And he revealed that he’ll play Harvey Dent, who is commonly known as the supervillain Two-Face.
Two-Face is one of the most-known Batman villains. Created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger, creators of Batman, the character debuted in 1942. The character was adapted into various forms of other media. Billy Dee Williams played the character in the 1989 film Batman, Tommy Lee Jones played him in the 1995 film Batman Forever, and Aaron Eckhart played Two-Face in the 2008 film The Dark Knight.

Gotham Knights TV series has previously cast Navia Ziraili Robinson as Carrie Kelley, Olivia Rose Keegan as Duela, Fallon Smythe as Harper Row, Oscar Morgan as Turner Hayes, and Tyler DiChiara as Cullen Row. The series will not be set in the Arrowverse franchise due to the timeline collision with the Batwoman series.
