Batman is a very hugely popular character and yet for some strange reason Warner Bros. Pictures don't like sing their character in live action TV shows. Well now we have we another new show set within the world of Batman but doesn't actually feature The Dark Knight himself which to me just defeats the purpose of doing a show that's set within the wold of Batman and so then join me as I give you my SPOILER FREE first impressions that takes it's name from a video game with the show in question being called simply just "Gotham Knights" enjoy.
The plot of this show is after Bruce Wayne is killed and found out to be Batman his adopted son Turner Hayes is framed for the crime and so he has to team up with an alley of Batman's and also team up with the sons and daughter of the Batman's enemies in order to work who killed Bruce Wayne and why. Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual plot that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty OK at best since it is some fresh and new for the world of Batman however all it does is cheapen the actual character of Bruce Wayne / Batman in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Starring in this very episode is Fallon Smythe as Harper Row , Tyler DiChiara as Cullen Row and Oscar Morgan as Turner Hayes. Also starring in this episode is Olivia Rose Keegan as Duela Doe , former Raven's Home star Navia Robinson as Carrie Kelley / Robin , Misha Collins as Harvey Dent , Anna Lore as Stephanie Brown , Rahart Adams as Brody March , K.K. Moggie as Cressida and Fiona Byrne as Commisioner Yindel.
Now then interms of what I personally thought / felt about the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual acting that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. That is something that's to be expected tho since the acting in a pilot episode is very rarely if ever good as the acting that we'd get in the rest of any given but it doesn't really help that the characters in this show are given no absolutely personality to work with them whatsoever.
For some strange and unknown reason the makers of this show chose to ignore comic book canon by not including the character of Damien Wayne who is Bruce Wayne's actual son. Which to me makes no sense since now you have create a character who is basically Damien Wayne in everything except his name and he even fills the exact same role that Damien Wayne fills so it just makes me wonder why they didn't just use him in the first place since he's not being used in any live action projects so we really do know that Warner Bros Pictures. isn't forcing them not to use him.
Unlike Batwoman this show does have a somewhat solid reason for not having Bruce Wayne / Batman appear in the show. Since Batman wouldn't just leave Gotham City for no reason and so the reason that this shows gives us does work well enough for that character altho at the same time it does make the character look stupid for reasons that I can't go into because of spoilers but once you see it you'll know it but it's at least a much more better reason then what the Batwoman TV show gave us for not including this truly iconic character.
I'm not going to lie here none of this shows main characters are likable at all which works for the characters that are meant to be the villains. It doesn't however work for characters like Turner and Stephanie Brown who are just unlikable characters and so what we are left with is a bunch of unlikable characters none of whom are made out to be even slightly likable in this episode which gives us no characters to route for which is something that you should always have in a story regardless of the medium that it's taking place in.
I will say that all of the characters in this episode the character of Duela Doe is the most entertaining character. The best way that I can describe her is that she's a cross between The Joker and Harley Quinn since she's just as insane as The Joker and she's just as funny as Harley Quinn which made her scenes all the more entertaining even when she's with the cardboard cutout that is Turner Hayes and she's the one character that I can see being a fan favorite since she is entertaining to watch and is quite easily the best part of this episode.
Now then his episode has / had an exact grand total running time of exactly forty one minuets and thirty one seconds. Which just isn't long enough for this episode to set up it's world , it's story and all of it's characters and as such this episode really should have been one hour and thirty minuets long since then you;d be able to set everything up and flesh out all of your characters which in turn would make it alot easier for us the audience to form a connection to these characters and it would have given you the chance to make these characters actually likable as well.
So now then since this is an action show that means that I have to actually talk about the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode well then in all honesty I in all honesty personally thought / felt that the actual action that's actually featured / presented to us in this very episode was in all honesty not that bad. Altho what let's the action in this episode down is the fact that the editing is so fast paced that you can hardly make out what's going on and the fact that this episode just isn't that bright and so you can barely make out what's going on in this episodes action scene which makes the show look bad in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.
Overall this show isn't going to last that long I can tell you that right now this is because of the fact that this show is that bad and us that disrespectful to the character of Batman in my freaking opinions anyways / at least.Now then i've talked about all of the good and as well as all of the bad things that are in this very episode in this post and since this is only my first impressions I won't be giving this show a rating however if i'm still watching this show when this shows final episodes airs or is released then i'll give this a show review and a rating as well but so far it's not of to very good start at all.
Now then as for where I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post well then boys and girls and as well as ladies and gentlemen I personally got all of the images that I personally used in this very post from the official Batman fandom wiki page ,the official Arrowverse fandom wiki page , the official Gotham Knights fandom wiki page and Google Images. With my personally preferred website that I personally preferred to use to get the images that I personally used in this very post being the official Gotham Knights fandom wiki page since all of the images that are currently up and and featured / presented to us on the great freaking the official Gotham Knights fandom wiki page are all fairly freaking high in freaking quality and as well as being very fairly freaking high in definition.
