Oscar Morgan (De Son Vivant), Olivia Rose Keegan (Days Of Our Lives) and Navia Robinson (Raven’s Home) are set as series regulars in the CW’s DC universe-set Gotham Knights pilot. They join previously announced Fallon Smythe and Tyler DiChiara.

Written by Batwoman trio Chad Fiveash, James Stoteraux and Natalie Abrams, 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.

More from Deadline

Morgan will play Turner Hayes. Despite the murder of his biological parents, Turner remains resilient and driven to live up to his billionaire adoptive father’s name. While charming and soulful, Turner has never quite felt comfortable in this world of wealth and privilege.

Keegan portrays Duela. Abrasive, unpredictable and a little unhinged, Duela is, above all, a survivor. Born in Arkham Asylum and abandoned by her father – the most dangerous man in Gotham – Duela forged herself into a brutal fighter and skilled thief.

Robinson plays Carrie Kelley. Fearless, idealistic and plucky as hell, Carrie talked her way into being Batman’s unlikely sidekick. If there’s a burning building or a person in need, she’s the first to rush in. Just as long as she’s home by curfew.

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 co-exec producer, while Danny Cannon will direct and exec produce the pilot.

Global measles cases jumped in 2023 due to 'inadequate' vaccine coverage
Measles cases rose 20% last year, driven by a lack of vaccine coverage in the world's poorest countries and those riddled with conflict, the World Health Organization and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Thursday. Nearly half of all the large and disruptive outbreaks occurred in the African region where the number of deaths increased by 37%, they said. "At this moment, every single country in the world has access to measles vaccine, so there's no reason why any child should be infected with the disease and no child should die from measles," WHO's Natasha Crowcroft, a senior technical adviser on Measles and Rubella, told reporters.

DBRS "more on alert" to U.S. fiscal profile after Republican sweep
A Republican sweep in the U.S. elections puts rating agency Morningstar DBRS “more on alert” regarding the country’s fiscal accounts, managing director for global sovereign ratings Nichola James told Reuters on Thursday. Republicans' lock on power in Washington next year will allow President-elect Donald Trump to pursue an aggressive agenda of tax cuts for businesses, workers and retirees that will test his party's often-aired goal of reining in the government's $35 trillion in debt. U.S. Treasury yields have risen on expectations that Trump's policies will add further pressure to an already elevated U.S. budget deficit and stoke inflation.
