Episode 02 of Gotham Knights was way better than the Pilot, some may call the Pilot Episode 01, none the less on this episode Turner and his crew goes back to the crime scene looking for clues, for his step father last cases because he has to find out why he was killed and then go after the murder.
In this episode the crew starts to get tighter, certain events happen that make them come together, at first there as to be treason for bonding to happen but there are still things that keep bothering me.
- Too damn dark, does the sun ever come up
- Over extended scenes, sitting in a car
- Turner still lacks expression, he is trying
There have been series in the past that have started soft but also have to think who is this series for? because to me it looks like its not for adults, its more for teenagers as they can related better to Turner, the rest of the crew, the music and the rest of the production, critics on internet are very hard coming from hard core fans and I get it, they are expecting some Gotham specs, anything below that benchmark is garbage.

Harvey finds the Batcave and confiscates everything, so far only Turner and his friend Stephanie knew about it, they use the super computer to track who pay Duela and the Row brothers.
Duela look like pick some interest on Turner, they got into a clothing shop to change theirs and look different to the police description but Robyn shows up, the crew is all over the news as they are the city main target, remember they are identify as Bruce Wayne killers. The clock tower is still their place to hide and plan whats their next step.
After some discussion they got to the conclusion that more clues and evidence is needed for them to prove their innocence, they already know the court of owls is part of the murder but still have not proves why and how, nobody saw the killer, all they have is that they use the gun Duela was ask to recover from Bruce office.
Looks like detective Ford and his unit have been missing since they ambush Duela and the rest while they were trying to escape, Harvey start calling him and the sound track to a box on his desk, all six head on different boxes at the police office, courtesy by the Court of Owls.
Stephanie gets taken to the police office for interrogation about the Batcave and super computer, Harvey thinks she help turner but she doesn't give him out.
Turner and the crew spend most of the day at the clock tower planing what to do next, its the dark city so they move at night, as he gets risky planing to go back to his step father Bruce office and get his records and diary Duela have that look, she likes this part of Turner, she love been on the edge, after all she is a bit insane too, probably, Joker genetics kicking in.
Climax of this episode comes very fast, the is a long scene where Duela and The Row brothers stay in the car waiting for Robyn and Turner to come back, they were monitoring the alarm system too. This is part of why I think this show is for teenagers, they sit on the car basically talking none sense, Duela is all scare and is going to cross them, the show never explain how this kids hack all this systems out of no where.
They find Bruce diary with a bookmark to the last page he was reading that talk about how nobody knows who kill their parents, how he kept investigating the Court of Owls for years and nobody have proof of their existence and what looks like a vendetta against the Wayne family, how they kill most of the Wayne family members for years hunting them down. There is also a secret to Turner identity that I have no idea what its about, maybe he is Bruce true son.
The moment they were picking up on all this clues, the Exterminator arrives, the Court of Owls assassin, the same who killed detective Ford and the other five police in his unit, Turner and Robyn alone cant fight him without any weapons so they try to lock themself in a room, at the same time the Row brothers and Duela debate if help them, when they agree then Duela runs away with the car "Why not, everyone has abandon me" she says and runs away with the car but the Row's stay to help Turner and Roby, they manage to lock the door and escape the building throwing themself out the window with Robyn's cable line that he shoots to a close building, very Batman like thing.
Another proof this is for Teenagers, Duela acting on her own interest only because nobody have ever get interested on her, tries to sell the watch they took from detective Ford but the exterminator was tracking the watch and her, she ran away and lock herself inside the detective car that the rob, it is bulletproof so the exterminator couldn't get in so he decided to burn it down with her inside.
The car is burning, Duela is suffocating and cant get out but Turner, Robyn and the Row brothers get in time to fight the Exterminator, Turner as we know is good with the sword but cant fight him alone so Robyn joins the fight in the meantime the Rows get Duela out of the car and they run away after Robyn shoot the Exterminator with some kind of grenade.
They all get back to their hiding after they rescue Duela, she still herself reckless and selfish so I wouldn't count that in the future she will cross them again but at least for now she is closer to Turner since it was his idea to rescue her, its now that Turner took Bruce sword and that's the one shown in the main poster.
Robyn gets back to her place too but she took some pages of Bruce diary, has to do with what he believes, if someone will see things as he does and what will happen with Turner when he finds out the truth.
The pages I think have to do with who kill Turner parents and if he is related to Bruce, probably anything close to those two ideas, for now I think he is part of Wayne family. Most of the time I will be wrong about this TV shows, I'm not a hard core fan of any of this shows, when I was a kid didn't watch much TV shows or read comics, I was most into sports training 8 hours a day so didn't have time for this hobby, now that I'm older its my hobby and love it, this opinions are my impression and thoughts as I see the show progress without knowing the back story.
This episode felt way better than the first one, I think if Batwoman was able to get 3 seasons out this could turn out to be better, people are just wrong thinking that this has to be as good as Gotham, its not meant for adults, they didn't show Ford head on the box so its not bloody and savage as Gotham, the music during the fights scenes could be better. I like this video, would give it a 7/10.
