SPOILER ALERT! This post contains details from the series premiere of The CW‘s Gotham Knights. The CW’s Gotham Knights premiered Monday and, with it, Misha Collins made his return to the network, about three years after the end of his 12-season run on Supernatural.
In Gotham Knights, Collins plays Harvey Dent, Gotham’s charismatic, hard-charging District Attorney. With a rigid sense of right and wrong, Harvey’s idealism and single-minded quest for justice will ironically and tragically transform him into one of Gotham’s most feared supervillains, Two-Face.
The series 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.
In the season premiere, Dent is still the straight-laced DA, who is desperately trying to solve Wayne’s murder and take care of his son. “You can count on him to do the right thing, and he is uncompromised and he is really taking Batman’s adopted son now, who is a second-time orphan, under his wing.
