Warning: The following contains SPOILERS for the Gotham Knights series premiere.Stephanie Brown is major part of the Gotham Knights show's main cast, fixing a major Arrowverse mistake. The popular comics heroine was introduced in one episode of Batwoman, but disappeared after a single appearance. By contrast, Gotham Knights establishes Stephanie Brown as a key figure in the titular team, and presents a version of the character that is truer to her portrayal in the Batman stories published by DC Comics than her Arrowverse incarnation.
Many DC Comics characters are in Gotham Knights, but Anna Lore's Stephanie Brown has not been featured prominently in any of the show's advertising. This is curious, because Stephanie Brown has a considerable following among comic readers and is historically notable as the only character to carry the mantles of both Robin and Batgirl in the mainstream DC Comics continuity. While it is unclear after the Gotham Knights series premiere if she will eventually don a costume, a new audience stands poised to discover just why Stephanie Brown is so beloved by Bat-fans.
