Misha Collins Thanks #BatBrats, Posts Thoughts on Gotham Knights End

Returning to social media, Misha Collins thanked the Bat-Brats for their support & shared his thoughts on Gotham Knights coming to an end.

A week after word came down that Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux & Natalie Abrams' Batman universe-set Gotham Knights was unable to secure a new home & was officially canceled, series star Misha Collins (Harvey Dent, aka Two-Face) is checking in to share his thoughts on the matter. For those of you who might be wondering why he's posting on the matter now – a week after it went down – Collins explains that the delay came after "unplugging" from social media for what lasted about a week.

"Just got back on the grid after unplugging for a week to hear the news that [Gotham Knights] was canceled by [The CW] and won't be able to find a new home. I'm incredibly bummed and selfishly disappointed to not be able to fully explore my 'villain arc,' but I'm proud of the show we made and so grateful to have been able to work with such a smart, caring, good group of people," Collins wrote in his statement posted to social media (which you can check out below).

"I'm especially proud that our story about fighting the good fight also gave us opportunities to tell diverse and inclusive stories. We need more of that on screen, and while this story may not be going forward, I really believe it helped open that door a little wider for more characters from all backgrounds to shine. Thank you, ["Bat-Brats"], for your full-throated support. The show may be ending, but I know this community will keep the light shining against the darkness in the real world. Onward!"

Gotham Knights: What You Need to Know

Written by Fiveash, Stoteraux, and Abrams, The CW's Gotham Knights stars 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. In addition, real-life married couple Ethan Embry and Sunny Mabry have joined the cast as Arthur and Crystal Brown. And Doug Bradley ("Hellraiser" film franchise) has joined the cast in a role that is at the core of the Batman legend – Joe Chill, the man who murdered Bruce Wayne's parents.

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.

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.
