Gotham Knights Director Praises Show's "Style," Offers BTS Looks

Gotham Knights director Eric Dean Seaton took to Instagram to share some looks behind the scenes of The CW series and offer tons of thanks.

Heading into the final month of 2022, director Eric Dean Seaton gave us the heads-up that he would be directing the ninth episode of Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux & Natalie Abrams' upcoming The CW series Gotham Knights (set to premiere on March 14th, alongside the returning Superman & Lois). Earlier today, Seaton was kind enough to offer us a personal set tour from his team behind the camera in a series of images he shared in an appreciation post.

"Before kicking off 2023 I have to give a big thank you to the wonderful way 2022 ended with the amazing [Gotham Knights]. We dug into a great murder mystery and uncovered some clues that will blow people away. Can't wait for the world to see how much style this show has," Seaton wrote as the caption to his Instagram post that included great looks behind the scenes at just some of the folks that the director goes on to thank:

"Once again, back in my favorite comic book city to finishing off the year, this time prowling the streets with the Gotham Knights! Written by the awesome [Elle Lipson] and [Devon Balsamo-Gillis], it's time to save some lives and uncover some clues in this great murder mystery," Seaton wrote as the caption to his Instagram post at the end of November, also displaying the script cover to Episode #109. And as you'll see in the comments, Superman & Lois star Alex Garfin gives his seal of approval when it comes to Seaton directing Episode #109 of any series (with Seaton having written Superman & Lois Season 1 Episode 9 "Loyal Subjekts," written by Andrew N. Wong).

The CW's Gotham Knights: What & Who You Need To Know

Written by Fiveash, Stoteraux, and Abrams, The CW's upcoming Gotham Knights picks up in the aftermath of Bruce Wayne's murder, with his rebellious adopted son forging an unlikely alliance with the children of Batman's enemies when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader. As the city's most wanted criminals, this renegade band of misfits must fight to clear their names. But in a Gotham with no Dark Knight to protect it, the city descends into the most dangerous it's ever been. However, hope comes from the most unexpected of places, as this team of mismatched fugitives will become its next generation of saviors… known as the Gotham Knights. Fallon Smythe (Grown-ish), Tyler DiChiara (Relish), Olivia Rose Keegan (High School Musical: The Musical: The Series), Navia Robinson (Raven's Home), Oscar Morgan (Master of the Air), Misha Collins (Supernatural), Anna Lore (All American), Rahart Adams (Foursome) Lauren Stamile (Complications), and Damon Dayoub (Stitchers) star.

Batman is dead, and a powder keg has ignited Gotham City without the Dark Knight to protect it. In the wake of Bruce Wayne's murder, his adopted son Turner Hayes (Morgan) is framed for killing the Caped Crusader, along with the children of some of Batman's enemies: Duela (Keegan), an unpredictable fighter and skilled thief who was born in Arkham Asylum and abandoned by her father, Harper Row (Smythe), a streetwise and acerbic engineer who can fix anything, and her brother Cullen Row (DiChiara), a clever transgender teen who is tired of being polite and agreeable. With the charismatic and hard-charging District Attorney Harvey Dent (Collins) and the GCPD hot on their trail, Turner will rely on allies, including his best friend and formidable coder Stephanie Brown (Lore) and unlikely Batman sidekick Carrie Kelley (Robinson). But our Knights will soon learn there is a larger, more nefarious force at work within Gotham City. This team of mismatched fugitives must band together to become its next generation of saviors, known as… the Gotham Knights.

Smythe's Harper Row: streetwise, acerbic, and often underestimated, the blue-haired bisexual is a gifted engineer who can fix anything. But what Harper wants most of all is to repair the broken lives of her and her brother, Cullen, the only person she trusts. After years of hiding his true self from an abusive parent, DiChiara's transgender teen  Cullen Row is tired of being polite and agreeable. Clever and adept at reading human nature, Cullen is ready to fight his own battles. Dashing with a swagger, Collins' Harvey Dent is Gotham's charismatic, hard-charging District Attorney. With a rigid sense of right and wrong, Harvey's idealism and his single-minded quest for justice will ironically and tragically transform him into one of Gotham's most feared supervillains, Two-Face. Lore's Stephanie Brown is someone whose sarcasm is matched only by her intellect. She was raised on a steady diet of brain teasers and puzzles and honed her skills to become a formidable coder.

Confident and charismatic, Adams' Brody has the brains and the looks — and he knows it. However, his entitled attitude covers his insecurity and jealousy of anyone who rivals him. Dayoub's Lincoln March is a charismatic, self-made industrialist with designs on becoming Gotham's next mayor; the only thing more important to Lincoln than his legacy is the power he wields as one of the city's elite. Old-money elegant, Stamile's Rebecca plays the dutiful "Good Wife" to her business mogul husband. A caring and supportive mother, one would never know she's trapped in an unhappy marriage. Produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television, Fiveash and Stoteraux exec produce alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and David Madden. Abrams is also a co-executive producer, while Danny Cannon directed and executive produced the pilot. The series is based on characters created for DC by Bob Kane with Bill Finger.
