'Titans' and 'Batwoman' prove the Dark Knight works best as a hook rather than a protagonist.
The DC Comics adaptations keep coming. Gotham Knights is the latest television series announced as part of the ever-expanding DC television franchise. Adapted from the comic book run of the same name, the show will focus on the exploits of Batman’s adopted son following the death of The Dark Knight. Gotham Knights is the newest show set in the Bat-universe which turns the Bat-signal on other members of the Bat-family.
In the first season of Titans, Dick Grayson/Robin/Nightwing battled with his strained relationship with his mentor and father figure Bruce Wayne/Batman. The season only showed Bruce in shadow before Batman appeared in the final episode—he was less a character and more a menacing figure introduced solely to terrorize Dick Grayson. It wasn’t until the second season that the real Bruce Wayne made an appearance.
Despite Bruce Wayne and Batman’s shadow looming large in their first seasons, both Titans and Batwoman have grown beyond Batman since they began. Moving the focus away from Bruce Wayne and Batman has given these two shows the chance to introduce several beloved characters from the comics, especially in the case of Titans, while Batwoman has tackled systemic issues regarding race and health care.
Though not as diverse as Titans and Batwoman, the beauty of Gotham was how the show created nuanced and compelling versions of Batman’s future Rogues Gallery. Batwoman has taken a leaf out of Gotham’s book and its third season has also featured vibrant and improved versions of the rogues.
