The CW's Gotham Knights Casts Pacific Rim Star as New Lead Character
The CW's Gotham Knights pilot taps a Pacific Rim: Uprising star as one of the show's new leading characters. Pilot season is underway, which means The CW is doing its annual tradition of expanding its DC TV line-up for the 2022-23 TV season. This year, the network is developing another Batman-related project, Gotham Knights, from Batwoman writers and producers. Despite their involvement, Gotham Knights is not being eyed as a Batwoman spinoff series, nor will it have any ties to the upcoming video game of the same name.

Danny Canon of Gotham and Pennyworth fame will helm Gotham Knights episode 1, which has been busy with casting its new leads.
