Earlier this year, the CW confirmed that their Gotham Knights project has officially received a pilot order and will be moving forward with filming the trial episode. The series is amongst the long line of DC inspired shows, and will be part of the larger CWverse, the name given by fans to the overarching DC universe that’s taken over the network.

Gotham Knights wasn’t the only new show to have beengreen-lit for a pilot episode, and the Supernatural spinoff, The Winchesters, as well as Walker spinoff, Walker: Independence, were also granted pilots this year. The shows are still in the very early stages of development, but the CW has announced plenty of new information about the new DC series over the last few weeks. Here’s everything they’ve said about Gotham Knights, so far.

The plot of Gotham Knights will detail the events that follow the death of Bruce Wayne, as a group of rag-tag individuals are wrongfully framed for the murder of Batman. In a turn of events, Wayne’s adopted son works with those accused of killing his father, hoping to aid them in clearing their names. The absence of Batman in the city of Gotham inspires villains everywhere to start causing trouble, so the accused killers do everything they can to take Batman’s place and keep their city safe.

The series will be based on comic books written and created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger. There’s currently a video game in development of the same name, and although the show and the game share some plot similarities, there doesn’t seem to be any real connection between the two.

The CW has recently announced the stars of the Gotham Knights pilot episode, including Navia Robinson, Olivia Rose Keegan, Oscar Morgan, Fallon Smythe
