Gotham Knights – Pilot

  • Title: Gotham Knights – Pilot
  • IMDb: link

Inspired by the video game of the same name and taking characters from across Batman history and throwing them together around a new character created solely for the series, Gotham Knights is an odd jumble. Our lead character is Bruce Wayne’s adopted son Turner Hayes (Oscar Morgan), who is accused of murdering Bruce Wayne along with a motley crew of local kids in Duela (Olivia Rose Keegan), Harper Row (Fallon Smythe), and Cullen Row (Tyler DiChiara). All framed for the crime, with only District Attorney Harvey Dent (Misha Collins) believing in Turner’s innocence, the foursome eventually flee police custody prior to being “taken care of” by corrupt cops on the GCPD force with the help of Carrie Kelly (Navia Ziraili Robinson) and Stephanie Brown (Anna Lore).

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #6

The Batman & Scooby-Doo Mysteries #6 opens with Mystery, Inc. running away from a case of bank robberies across Gotham City rather than helping Batman solve them. Although confused, Batman continues working on the case on his own (we don’t get Robin or another member of the Bat-Family here).

The Human Target #12

/ / Comics

If you don’t believe a comic can move you to tears, let me offer you The Human Target #12. The final issue of The Human Target deals with the aftermath. The heart-wrenching, painful, disturbing, yet beautiful aftermath of the death of Christopher Chance. There’s no last-minute save for our hero. Christopher Chance dies. While some of comic attempts to wrap-up various JLI threads still hanging out there, the main focus is on Ice and dealing with the loss of the man she inadvertently killed and fell in love with all in twelve days.

  • Title: Will Trent – Unable to Locate
  • IMDb: link

While investigating what happened to a shipment of guns, and what a white supremacist organization might use them for, Will (Ramón Rodríguez) gets attacked and goes missing leaving Faith (Iantha Richardson) to continue the investigation and Angie (Erika Christensen) to Wagner (Sonja Sohn) to worry. Speaking of Angie, she gets her own case of the week looking into robbery and murder tied to expensive running shoes. The two stories are tied together with Trent’s discovery of a pregnancy test in his home and flashbacks to some incredibly well-cat younger versions of Trent (Andres Velez) and Angie (Savannah Hutson) centered around a similar situation during their childhood.
