Bruce Wayne's son teams up with the children of several classic Batman villains to catch the real killer in this new series.
Oscar Morgan, Misha Collins, Navia Ziraili Robinson, Olivia Rose Keegan, Anna Lore, Fallon Smythe, Tyler DiChiara, Rahart Adams, created by Natalie Abrams, Chad Fiveash and James Stoteraux, would seem to represent a marriage of two The CW staples, the superhero saga and the teen soap You might even mistake Turner, upon first impression, for a supporting player on a series like— he’s popular, gifted, conventionally attractive and unfathomably wealthy, with just enough of a rebellious streak to...
But it all feels weightless when the Knights themselves are so flimsily conceived. Turner, one of the show’s truly original creations — a child of Bruce Wayne who is not any of the half-dozen or so other children of Bruce Wayne introduced in the comics over the years — seems to have inherited his father’s reserve but not the intensity or darkness that made him so intriguing, and Morgan proves able to do only so much with dialogue mostly devoid of humor or nuance.
Anna Lore fares a little better as Stephanie, a friend of Turner’s whose combination of loyalty, vulnerability and playfulness make her one of the show’s more relatable characters. And Navia Ziraili Robinson comes out best of all as former Batman sidekick Carrie Kelley, bringing a much-needed warmth and groundedness to the series.
Instead, they’re dragged down by the show’s tell-don’t-show approach to character development. When Turner and Carrie confess to being mutually jealous over the other’s unique bond with Batman, for instance, the emotional impact is blunted by how little detail we get about what those relationships were actually like when Bruce was alive.
