It’s something I was hoping for while first watch and I hope they can do this for season 4. How many of you guys are watching the show? What do you think so far?
So I'm finally rewatching this masterpeice series that got cancelled after season 1. I finished Stargirl now I'm rewatching this before TWD. I still can't believe this show got cancelled bro. I had to re-follow the cast on insta due to my last acct being suspended and none of them posting so it's the same old Gotham Knights posts from before and it makes me sad. Now let me rant CW cancels all the good shows yet they keep renewing All American due to nostalgia when they need to end it already. It's a shame
We took it over because all the mods were gone and posting wasn't allowed. Now that the show ended, we were wondering if any other fans would like to take over.
Is there anyone interested? If so, leave a comment with the following:
Note that it's not a first-come-first-serve situation. We'll look over the comments and make our decision on who we think would be the best fit.
Bonus!
The winner(s) can also get r/GothamKnightsTV, which ended up becoming a redirect here.
We'll never get a true answer, but I felt like the clues where there if you know the Batman lore plus what was in the final episode.
1.) Henri Ducard's ancestor in the comics was a member of an Order of St. Dumas splinter group ("The Order of Purity"). Plus his white coat and purple scarf are akin to a Catholic priest's; implying some Christian influence (albeit untraditional as hell if you know about St. Dumas...) which the Order of St. Dumas & Purity held as well.
2.) Turner's backstory is very much like Jean-Paul Valley's upbringing. Lost his parents at a young age who were also assassins, had been groomed to become one himself before and following their deaths, plus Turner's weapon of choice - a katana. What other male Bat-Family member would use a sword and is willing to kill if necessary?
3.) The passports of Turner's parents in the scene where's interrogated by the female Commissioner have the Switzerland flag and the country's language/writing. Where is the Order of St. Dumas located? Switzerland Alps.
I'm almost positive it wasn't going to be the League of Assassins or Shadows like many suspected. Might be interesting to bring up to Natalie Abrams if this was indeed the case?
If this is the one CW DC show in general that doesn't get a bluray, I'm gonna be a very sad man.
It's really more a series of interconnected chapters--mix of serialized and episodic, ilke the show itself. I went as far as I wanted to go with it. I ended it on a sort of cliffhanger, since they're going to help another DC character (who does have a history with Batman-related characters) out of a jam, and I didn't feel like telling that story. Since for me, it was about getting Duela into a place where she was the best version of herself she could be--and iron out the issues in her various relationships, of course. Something the show never got a chance to do, and the comics have, in my opinion, never done her justice. I'd like to think I did.
If they end up together don't spoil it please
If I wrote the Gotham Knights TV series here’s what I’d change:
Could they please make a season 2 😭😭😭😭😭😭 if others don't want it then make it for me please😭😭😭
It screamed as it died. (To be clear, Turner built a replacement hospital, none of the patients or staff were inside).
To me, that seemed like a logical plot poiny for my fanfic novel on Gotham Knights. Not the endpoint, but I am starting to close in on that. Less than twenty chapters left.
It's not going to be to everyone's liking, but I'm mainly writing it to get closure for myself. If you wanted to see Turner and Duela's relationship develop, the aspirations of that dimension's Bruce Wayne achieved (ie, giving his fortune to Gotham's poor), Harper and Stephanie making a life together, Cullen finding his place in the world, Carrie learning how to carry on Batman's legacy without losing herself, Harvey Dent coming back from the hell was left in at the show's end--it's all there. That and a whole lot of songs.
Honestly, I did it for Duela. I hated that look on her face at the end, believing she'd never see Turner again. They deserved a chance. Weird as that sounds. Well, it's genre fanfic. Weird goes with the territory.

If I remember correctly, the series was closed due to the insufficient budget of the CW channel. And when they decided which series to keep, they chose between him and Superman and Lois. They decided then to keep Superman and Lois. But now that the decision has been made to close Superman and Lois. Do you think there is a chance that they will decide to continue Gotham Knights?
I have a friend over and I want to show her one of my favorite parts.
And I find out it’s only one season….i thought the show was great and am disappointed with how they ended it on a cliffhanger. I thought it was better than Arrow and Flash and those shows went on for 8 and 9 seasons.
It’s been months since the show ended and I’m trying to remember if Rebecca March said something to Harvey in the last episode about how she was planning on framing her husband for everything that happened, but she decided to frame him instead. I feel like she implied that even Fugue Harvey never actually killed anyone, (like the mayor, for instance), and she just planted evidence on him to make it look like he did (like the key to the mayor’s car). Is this true, or am I misremembering? Did Fugue Harvey actually do anything besides like, sleep with her at some point and the stuff he did in the last episode? (I know he killed Harvey’s dad, I’m not talking about that. I mean during the actual events of the show).
Angela Davis ( Lisa Kelly), aka Kerry's mom. They even had to dub her voice in the second of last episode because the actress can't emote and has a blank affect in her face like if she has Parkinson.
When searching for commentary on the show so that I could geek out over it more, I was disappointed to find most of the people reviewing it didn't seem to like it that much. For me, it had the distinctly Elseworlds flavor that the Gotham TV show had, but unlike Gotham, it committed to that theme and had decent storytelling. The protagonists were all anti-heroes and/or anti-villains who inhabited a morally gray area due to Gotham's corrupt police system. It gave me strong Earth 3 vibes, where the "heroes" actually turned out to be the biggest villains of all, complete with most of them working for the Court of Owls.
The characters were relatable, and even the OC Bat kid, Turner Hayes, turned out to have an interesting arc that made him a standout character in his own right. I would have loved to see what happened to Hayes in a second season after he was kidnapped by Henri Ducard. I also appreciate that they were able to create a decent balance between the comic book weirdness and really deep emotional moments.
I guess there are some things I could nit-pick, such as acting quality, but it was good enough to make me buy the characters' motives, and it wasn't the disjointed mess Gotham was by far, and Gotham managed to go five seasons without getting cancelled.
Going into the series, I thought I was going to hate it. I thought it was going to be a milquetoast teen drama cash grab, like Disney's Descendents or a quickly put together fanficky mess like the Gotham series. Boy, was I wrong. It was actually a solid series, and I really don't know why it was so criminally underrated. It was much better put together than the Gotham series, probably because we had fewer characters to follow, the leads actually did detective work, and the plot wasn't focused on several different stories at once.
It carried a similar style and set-up as the Gotham series, but the plot was much better developed than Gotham, and even the original characters felt very comics' accurate. Also, the romance between Batman's adopted son and Joker's adopted daughter was brilliant. I feel like the writers really had a much better grasp of how these characters would interact in Gotham City than the Gotham series had with their characters.
Plus, Harvey Dent made a lot more sense walking the morally gray areas than Jim Gordon, and the series really focused on Harvey and made us feel for him. I think it's a shame Gotham Knights didn't get a second and even third season. I enjoyed watching the characters and how they developed throughout the series. I definitely could have binged several seasons of it--10/10 for me.
I hate that the series has been canceled but I still hope that there is a possibility of the series being renewed, I also think that if at least The CW is going to cancel the series, I think they should make at least a Spin-Off series of Turner or Duela, but it is more convenient for Turner, so that he explains his origins in more depth and his new life with Henri Ducard, and in the end of the series Turner could return with the Gotham Knights, and if the producers see it as convenient, they could release a second season of Gotham Knights, because if at least they are going to cancel the series, at least they should give us, to the public, a happy ending, and thus end the Gotham Knights series saga, with an ending that the public currently like.
Believe me, the quote marks are justified--honestly, it's probably more of a novella. 14 chapters, and none of them are that long.

I'm going to keep going a ways. But Turner and Duela aren't separated anymore. That's something of an understatement, actually. Harper is rolling her eyes to beat the band. Stephanie and Cullen are cool with it, though. Carrie and Duela are BFF's now.
And Harvey's still Two-Face. Yeah, I guess I have to deal with that now. Stupid CW. Make me do all the work, why don't you? :\
They find a deeper Wayne cave..this cave has all the Robin's suits..Turner tells Carrie to select any suit..Carrie has her mind made but asks Turner what you pick..Turner says "not any of them..I am Turner Hayes and will not defile my father..Ducard told me to be me..
My interest is in people trying to finish out the story, not cozy little interludes between this or that pairing.
To that end, I've been doing some writing myself. I must have really liked the show--and hated the cliffhanger--because I have never written fanfic before. Hopefully it doesn't show too much. I'm taking some liberties with the material. Well, everybody does that.

Up to Chapter 3. Ends on a cliffhanger. Which I promise will be resolved. Unless I get canceled somehow.
I found this in the background of Gotham Knights CW show S1 Ep2 around min 20
