Gotham Knights kicks off with an intriguing mystery as Turner Hayes (Oscar Morgan) investigates the murder of his adoptive father, Bruce Wayne. After Bruce Wayne is killed and outed as the Batman, Turner himself is framed as the mastermind behind the murder. However, the first episode of the brand-new series suggests that there are several other possibilities as to the identity of the Caped Crusader's killer. Although the series has offered few clues in its first episode regarding the circumstances surrounding Batman's death, there are several suspects who already stand out as the most likely perpetrators of the heinous, albeit historic, crime.
Bereft of many characters in the Batman mythos, Gotham Knights explores a city without its Caped Crusader. After years of crimefighting as Batman, Bruce Wayne's crusade is cut tragically short, leaving his adopted son Turner Hayes to pick up the pieces. The first season of the series follows Turner as he investigates his father's grisly murder, teaming up with his new friends, including Harper Row (Fallon Smythe), Cullen Row (Tyler DiChiara), Stephanie Brown (Anna Lore), Carrie Kelley (Navia Robinson), and Duela (Olivia Rose Keegan), who claims to be the daughter of the Joker. As Gotham falls apart in Batman's absence, these teenagers aim to become the troubled city's new protectors.
