Former “Supernatural” regular Misha Collins is returning to The CW, the actor signing on to play Gotham City District Attorney Harvey Dent in the pilot for the “Gotham Knights” series.
Penned by “Batwoman” alum Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux and Natalie Abrams, the series is set in a Gotham City reeling from the murder of Bruce Wayne.
His rebellious adopted son (Oscar Morgan) forms an alliance with the children of Batman’s enemies when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader. Soon this group of fugitives could be the city’s next saviors. Olivia Rose Keegan, Navia Robinson, Fallon Smythe and Tyler DiChiara also star.
In DC lore, the character of Dent later becomes the villain Two-Face. Billy Dee Williams, Tommy Lee Jones and Aaron Eckhart have played Dent in the “Batman” films, whilst on TV Nicholas D’Agosto and Richard Moll have taken on the role.
Warner Bros. TV and Berlanti Productions are backing “Gotham Knights” which is being directed by Danny Cannon.
