On Thursday, Fox’s Batman prequel “Gotham” will finally get to unveil their version of the Caped Crusader, which represents an anomaly for shows based on DC Comics characters: Actually getting access to the Batman.
But there is a catch: “Gotham” had to wait until its final episode. But it’s still closer than any other DC Comics series has gotten to Batman, though a few shows are figuring out a workaround.
The CW’s latest series as part of its expanding “Arrowverse” is likely to be “Batwoman,” which is part of its current group of pilots and considered a near-lock to get picked up to series.
