Gotham Knights Hits NEW LOWS - Granny SCARES Superheroes! Season 1 Episode 4 Review CW TV Series 

Gotham Knights Season 1 Episode 4 Review. CW have outclassed themselves for the weird, funny comments on this one. Not only do we recap the story AGAIN like every episode, but someone will ask an obvious question, and the other character has no idea what it means. We take explaining basic stuff to the audience to the next level while wandering around talking to the Jokers daughter's future self. This is a weird one, although it does introduce a quality actress that I want to get a spin off series. Unfortunately I get the feeling she wont be sticking around. But what are your thoughts? Let me know down below and as always, thanks for watching :)

"at the end of every episode it's like the Men In Black come in and flash you... and don't you worry not like that. Will Smith would never do that to you... His wife would." I actually spit my food out at that. That was amazing.

I think the reason for the constant recap is quite simple: they want to pad out the runtime cause they know the plot itself wouldn't last them the entire episode, even with the pointless scenes included

I'm just shocked that BATMAN, of all people never mentioned the Lazarus Pits or Raz al-ghul in ANY of his journals EVER... He's only fought him a couple DOZEN times.

Is each episode getting worse, or is Disparu slowly losing his mind? A little from column A and a little from column B. Good ol' Disparu sacrificing brain cells for us!!! o7

That dagger, being an assassin's knife... could also have been poisoned. normally you know, lethal.

Server rooms are supposed to have physical security, with a minimum of a locked door to the room. Also, standard access will not allow a USB to be read by the server, but let's not worry about that.

Granny is a famous actress -- Alien, Body Snatchers -- you defintely would recognize her younger self - not sure how she ended up in this dreck 😅

Joker's daughter is the only character that I don't actively despise in this show, and that's on the basis that she actually feels like a human being capable of expressing emotions, yeah I like her because she passes the bare minimum requirements to be considered human

So not only did they have modern autopsies a century ago but a modern police department has the funds to digitize all of them not only from their jurisdiction but others and put them all in one server? 🤦🏼‍♂️

"Robin would bounce off the window..... well like a Robin", omg, I spit out my drink.....

"Detective work?" From WHOM? All I remember in the last three episodes is the kids making random guesses and getting lucky.

Seriously? The first thing that came into my mind when assassin's knife was mentioned was "it's probably poisoned". It's the easiest thing to ever predict.

Granny is played by Veronica Cartwright, who is probably best known for playing Lambert in Ridley Scott's seminal Sci-Fi horror, Alien, but also appeared in the 70's remake of Invasion of the Body Snatchers and the film version of Witches of Eastwick, among others. A really good actress, who it's sad to see reduced to appearing in utter dreck like this show.

I think unlike the rest of the cast, I think the granny is actually a *real* actress. Like, she's been in actual movies and stuff. I forget what though.

Wait, Talon was caught, arrested and fingerprinted 100 years ago? Why was he wearing a fake mustache and why did he get this photo takes on a studio green screen stage that didn't exist at the time?.

Did they even wash that dagger before sticking it in the cake? I mean, who knows who it's been in?!😅

So..... As much as I hate it, I have a very plausible defense for Wayne's security being "beatin" by a 9yr old. Batman's security is so good that it detected & recognized him as the son & it just let him in. Which left him thinking that he was awesome for the past decade.

Granny scares Shazam. Granny scares Blue Beetle. Now Granny scares Gotham Knights.

You know, I kinda get making the coin and the dagger marks a calling card. It's a classic move. A serial criminal leaving behind something to mark his work? It really is a classic fictional, and sadly sometimes even real life, move. The issue is, and also the reason why it is called a calling card, that the criminal does that on purpose so his victims and crimes could be identified as being done by one and the same person. So it really doesn't work with the whole *COURT OF OWLS BEING A SECRET SOCIETY*

Note: There actually is a Bad USB stick tool called “Rubber Ducky”.

No way the guy missing an Adam's apple would trick police officers by just wearing a mustache

i wasn't expecting a Shadiversity reference here from you, but i welcome it

Believe it or not, rubber ducky is actually the right word for that.

Even selecting a "knife" with *no edge* to cut a cake is a bad idea.

In Cressida's defense, she hasn't watched our bumbling her... _protagonists_ stumble into clue after clue; she only sees the end result.

Thugs: "My parents dead named me." "My dad was a serial killer." "My grandma's crazy." Batman: "That's cute, my parents are dead."

Love getting to see you and AZ cover this trash. You guys both really brighten my day.

"That's why you don't go around putting your real name in books which tie you to an assassin. Just a little tip there for anyone who isn't an ABSOLUTE PANTRY." 🤣

Never stop putting in the I'm a woman clip, that shit has me rollin'🤣

"Fire everything and They Fly Now" lmao😂😂

This was definitely missing a clip from Red Dwarf where Lister said "I cleaned it" when talking about eating from a bed pan.

22:25 It's becoming a real annoying thing for me how they keep using the daddy problems as an escape to avoid any wrong doings that their characters are doing but at the same time laugh about it. Their characters are constantly creating issues, that shouldn't be issues to begin with (because CW) and the moment these characters get confronted in these shows, it's always that annoying ''My dad left me as a child'' excuse or the classic ''I need 5 peptalks and 10 conversation scenes'' to continue their bullshit. I actually did have a crappy father myself, and I haven't seen the man for over 20+ years now for very good reasons. Now, let's imagine I am one of these people in the show, and I stub my toe against the table ''Oh that was my dad's fault!'' is what is being used here constantly, it's driving me crazy. I bet you that none of these actors in the show even had a similar and close experience like I had as a child. Usually I don't care about this type of stuff, I am now a grown man that doesn't live in the past, but I cannot deny the fact that it annoys the crap out of me how they use every excuse, with now being the daddy situation in this show, to write their characters in such a way that they can do everything wrong, for any reason, and always blame it on daddy (Batman) or any type of parent (usually males because females can't do no wrong) That's how you can see how utterly trash this show is and the people running it, they would throw their family in the fire for that extra little paycheck they can get playing a character that barely does anything and cries about every single situation, to then be constantly praised of how amazing people they are even if they did the most horrendous thing a person can do. Breaking into places? hurting or killing random white people? Well I did that because (put parent blame excuse here) Oh and cops. CW shows or anything linked to them loves to destroy or kill cops off in their shows, because ''police officer bad'' and if it's a male with a rank or high class stature like a mayor or some kind, you get bonus points.

I'm starting to suspect that Cthulhu is writing most modern TV shows. This was clearly written by a mind so alien to our own that the mere attempt to fathom its logic will drive men mad.

I'm surprised you didn't notice how cressida teleports closer to him so he can grab her gun

Ayo, wait a minute. When Turner got informed that Cressida is a member of the Court, Robin was still in the clocktower. But in mere minutes (10 at best) she manages to get from clocktower to Wayne Manor... I know we established that time and space don't work all that well, but uh... Do I dare ask how?

Disparu delivering another absolute banger of a video today 🎉🎉🍿

If there's one thing I've learned in all my years of spy movies, it's that it's not enough to just discover the conspiracy. Much more interesting is the cat and mouse of navigating around the secret society and their web of influence to expose them to the public.

Its lucky the assassin knife wasnt you know coated in poison or a nerve agent....

Crow: This kid just found out someone who's like family wants to kill him. What emotion is he conveying? Mike: Uh, shock? Soul-crushing sadness? Crow: Nope! The correct answer is...dull surprise!

Important question missed: where were the masked people hiding when batboy went to see butler lady, and how did they know he was going there when the only people he told were the gotham gang? ...oh yeah, cw writers is why.

The best day of the week is the day I get listen to Disparu yell at the TV screen for an hour 😂

The dude just teleported when he took Cressidas gun 😂

Veronica Cartright is Granny, she was Lambert in Alien. An incredible actress. Feel sorry for her in this show, she is literally showing up everyone else's incompetence.

the fact that when he slept and the camera showed half of his face was the best foreshadowing. but they are not that good

on behalf of us all, thank you Disparu for continuing to sacrifice your sanity for our entertainment.

I am looking at the Court of Owls confrontation and wonder "what's the point of this?" It's EPISODE FUCKING FOUR so we all know nothing is going to happen. In-universe, offering this boy a seat in the Court and asking for his loyalty is the stupidest thing, when he is the one with a gun who could kill any one or all of them. Yes, maybe it wouldn't kill ALL the Court, but it would slow them down a little while he runs for safety with the other Knights and builds up his forces and skills.

That cut to "the mad goose wizard." 🤣

You're losing your mind as the writing gets worse. And we're loving every second of it!

Wait.. this band of brainiacs couldn't tell the blade that was in the shape of an X would make a mark in the shape of an X until it was dropped on the floor and showed them that it could indeed make an X shaped mark????????????

Oddly, a USB "rubber ducky" is actually a thing.

I want this show to be on for so many more seasons just for the Disparu review. This is his best work.

I haven't lived in the UK for years. I laughed when my wife asked me 'What the hell is a Philip's screwdriver？ it looks like a possidrive to me!' 🤣🤣

I don’t get the idea in these stories that rich people aren’t as functional and highly skilled as people born without these resources yet those born without wealth still wish to be born with them? Doesn’t that just mean they’d have been coddled and thus less skilled and intelligent by this logic? The fact that this is ever considered a deep analysis of capitalism and society is an insult.

I'm actually shocked James Gunn didn't put the kibosh on this series when he took creative control of DC with the excuse that it was going to compete with his plan or something.

That Will Smith line got me good........😂

It actually gets worse as you explain it. The goal was always to destroy these IPs.

So if the marks on the skin were the same as the mark on the floor does that mean the knife only penetrated the skin about half a centimeter deep? I guess the knife was poisoned, too bad that every body didn't die from eating cake that was cut with a poisoned knife.

Jeebus. they got the knife wound trick from every detective story ever

CW writers are the kind of writer to see "pawn" sets online and go OMG! That set looks so realistic lets copy that for our show.

The little extra bit on the knife was actually a common thing to do. It stopped the wound from closing right and was nearly impossible to stitch up correctly Also there are computers that are just monitors and have the processors and CPU built in, they're terrible and used by schools as a low budget alternative, like Chromebooks.

lets be real, the court of owls is absolutely not a secret, at this point I wouldn't be suprised if a random guy they run into on the street knows about them

We need to get you and Az together for these reviews. I like how you cover what he misses and he points out the obvious things you don’t.

"Granny" can act because that's Veronica Cartwright. She's Hollywood royalty. Seeing her in this joke of a show is bewildering.

It annoys me to no end that they act like Batman didn’t solve the mystery of the Court of Owls and his ancestor as an 8-10 year old.

The more expensive a lock, the easier it is to pick. Up until you get to magnetic deadbolt locks with biometrics instead of keys, or with numeric pads with 24 numeral combinations.

@31:21 Look at the caliber of the barrel when she initially points the pistol at him and how it changes when he takes it from her. Totally different weapon. @34:50 …and after the Court of Owls appears it goes back to the larger caliber!

"It's easier for me to eat the lock than teach you how.".

A X knife wound would have been normal to the day when he died over a hundred years ago because spike knives with x blades were common for piercing large thick woolen trench coats worn by soldiers and normal knife had a hard time piercing them. they only started to disappear from common use around the 40's due to their banning by the geneva convention during ww2.

31:35 is it ever going to be explained why Batman's adopted son has a ring on his finger?

The cake being cut with the “poisoned” knife isn’t necessarily a plot hole. If it affects you by stabbing then is through your blood, aka a venom and ingesting it won’t necessarily cause any symptoms.

Every time in a movie or show when I hear a character praise another character to be something that isn't shown so far I remember the line from Game of Thrones: Any man who must say, "I am the king" is no true king. Same is true here. If you have to tell the audience how awesome a character is, then you haven't actually shown it for them to figure it out. And if the audience hasn't see them to be awesome, they propably don't believe they are. Because reality isn't reflected.

Just saying the added bits ti the blade would have made cutting harder, then apparently the edges of the blade and the additional blades are squared off making cutting harder, much less penetration when the additional blade are right at the tip… again adding friction… the bad props are as bad as the bad writing.

24:22 That's Veronica Cartwright... she was in Alien... Witches of Eastwick... she's a phenomenal actress... not sure why she agreed to THIS show tho...

Every time I see Misha all I can think is that this dude went from Supernatural to this pile of shit. Why do I get the feeling his agent's body will be found in a river at some point 😂 😂

ppl say "why is he not Damian?" but i say its for the best they did not use him

True greatness requires a lawyer - Disparu 2023 😂😂

I'm wondering how Castiel hasn't become two-face before batman got ended by the Grimm Wanna Be's Court of Owls? Hunting Wayne's and beheading people?? Discount store Grimm, I'm beginning to wonder if they are attempting a Harvey was Two-Face all along via face paint, rather than some tragic accident like usual scripts do and was a party to and facilitated Batman and Jokers death Surprise Swerve it was Castiel all along 😂

That's awful. Literally my first thought with the assassin's knife was "Are you sure there's no poison on it ... because, y'know, assassins do that kind of thing?" (facepalm) Geniuses they are not. The whole gimmick feels like it's a cheeky steal from "Young Sherlock Holmes" - a secret society bumping people off by giving them an hallucinogen so they "self-terminate" so to speak. The scriptwriters probably think no-one in this wretched show's target demographic ever saw that film, so it'll pass as their own original idea. And the sad thing is they might even be right about that.

At the beginning they seemed to try and copy the scene from the original TMNT movie that had Casey Jones cut bread with Leonardo's sword. But while that scene was cute and and funny precisely because it was so matter-of-fact that none of the characters batted an eye at this, here the writers had to drive the point home / joke to the ground by making SURE the audience got it.

Isn't 'granny' actually the actress who did 'Nurse Ratchet' ???? Hi, Disparu... I don't think I have the staying power for this one. I don't think anyone over about 15 could watch this without getting incredibly bored. This is teen age level writing prose. No one older than 20 should be proud they wrote it. Those masks look like cheap Chinese knock-offs alien masks for Halloween .

I know creators can forget stuff they added sometimes but this takes the cake 🤣

@disparu love the reviews! Fun fact, rubber duckies are real and used by hackers.

The comment about the knife...😂 Just pick it up and use it. It's not like wash it, sterilize it... Nothing. 😂

Omfg "do you think they're linked" 😂... holy crap I havent watched the show yet and I definitely am not gonna start now.

@8:44 a rubber ducky is the actual h*cker term for a usb drive that will act like a keyboard when plugged into a computer. once connected, the rubber ducky sends keystrokes through as if it is typed on the keyboard, the issue is that you cannot know what is on the screen so you just hope that the computer was in the right state to run whatever command you have programed into the rubber ducky before hand.

Granny is officially the best character on the show (even more than the "literal genius" Joker Lite) Edit: Although Spike gets an honorable mention. The only reason he isn't the best character is the fact he's just in these reviews.

Meanwhile Arcane excels at visual storytelling. I mean as much as I like anime. The over-exposition can break immersion.

I recon chat GPT could write a better script then the entire team of writers who wrote Gotham knights

Isn't it obvious what a super rich vigilante would do upon his death that would make him "the greatest man in the history of Gotham"? He changed his will to give all of his money away to all the people that needed it the most. So, the big "double twist" of this series is they are going to find the will thinking it will exonerate them to finding out that the SINGLE COPY is the biggest motive to kill him and everyone that knows of it off? Are they seriously going to make this show THAT obvious!?

The writers clearly go to a daycare for adults

So this professional assassin gets close enough to their target to stab someone multiple times. (Can’t have thrown them since then they’d go deeper than just the tip.) however doesn’t just kill them? Why seems like it’s leaving more evidence by leaving distinct mark on the corpses

Damn, writers think it is really that big of a reveal that the dagger that shape like a bloody plus with the tip that would do damage would made the markings and that the wood showing it is such a clever way to do it... A bloody preschooler could have made that connection, they make literal baby toys for such lessons of matching shapes with similar shaped holes

Guess Castiel still has a pesky leviathan or two hanging around in there. It’s a shame he doesn’t seem to slaughter everyone around him anymore like he used to do when he they took control.

The blade relies on venom actually. Venom goes into the bloodstream, poison is ingested. Iirc you have knock back a shot of snake cobra venom and you're... Not great perhaps but you'll live, while a shot of cobra venom injected into your arm is Very Bad. I have no expectations that the writers understand this, and fully believe they just forgot it

That guy and his mustache always reminds me of Jim Dangle on Reno 911 🤣🤣🤣

Defending the stupid... because I got time like that. The knife - I agree, but I do see what they were aiming for. It's justunfortunate they weren't smart enough to execute it well. Just sick enough to imagine what an assassins weapon may need to look like. They have a very warped mind, and I'll explain how. An assassin wants to kill their target, a suffering target is a target with a vendetta and a failed mission. During World War I, the use of "sawback" bayonets was banned under the Hague Convention of 1899. Everyone is more or less taught this in some way during history class in school. Some schools use flamethrowers as an example. Regardless, the point is, "it's inhumane so it's outlawed. It causes unnecessary suffering, when it should just cause death." Reason I bring that up, is because that's the thought process behind their writing... they think an assassin would want to cause max damage and suffering.... no, an assassin wants to make sure their target dies. Which is why the knife is... close, but no cigar. For those who don't get it. That blade has a rather nasty surprise. Plunge it, twist it, and the target will not be able to get that wound treated. Not easily anyways. You will be taking a piece of them out with the knife each time you do this theoretically. It also has crevaces that can be used to lace with poison I assume. The blade lacks a guard because it's meant to go as deep as you need it to and be concealed well. So, it has the elements required.... then there's that tip.... why? Is your plan to stab once and walk away? Is it an insurance policy because your assassins sometimes screw up and don't leave the target dead? I mentioned what it was for, but that's just not how assassins operate. Go look at every assassins weapon ever... they are designed souly for killing. Not injuring and maiming. For penetrating armor, getting in deep, applying very lethal poisons, and not getting caught. It makes no sense for any skilled assassin. You don't want your target to suffer, you want them dead, asap. Still, I would prefer a less "modern" design. A bichwa or a pesh-kabz.... isn't this order supposed to be very old?

I realise you make alot of cuts so I just have to wonder will we ever one day in a blessed future get an unedited version of the video.

Gotham Knights, taking EVERY opportunity to claim the genuineness of their female characters while taking absolutely no opportunity to SHOW it.

“I think he means the divorce courts” killed me😂
