Following the recent addition of Misha Collins as Harvey Dent, Deadline brings word that The CW has welcomed another main character to its upcoming Gotham Knights pilot. All American actress Anna Lore has been tapped to portray the series regular role of Stephanie Browne, who is known as the DC hero Spoiler and the second female hero to take on the mantle of Robin.
“With sarcasm matched only by her intellect, Stephanie was raised on a steady diet of brain teasers and puzzles,” reads the official character description. “She’s honed her skills to become a formidable coder. But her greatest talent might be hiding a less-than-perfect home life.”
Before the Gotham Knights pilot, Lore previously appeared as Penny Farthing in two episodes of HBO Max’s Doom Patrol. Her other TV credits include: Frankenstein, MD, Faking It, The Friendless Five, Training Day, Miss 2059, and Into the Dark.

Gotham Knights will be led by a young cast including Fallon Smythe as Harper Row, Tyler DiChiara as Cullen Row, Olivia Rose Keegan as Duela, Navia Robinson as Carrie Kelley, and Oscar Morgan as Turner Hayes.
“In the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder, his rebellious adopted son forges an unlikely alliance with the children of Batman’s enemies when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader,” reads the synopsis. “And 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.”
The live-action DC pilot is written and executive produced by Batwoman writers Natalie Abrams (Supergirl, All American) and Chad Fiveash & James Stoteraux (The Vampire Diaries, Gotham), based on the DC Comics characters that were created by Bob Kane and Bill Finger.

The series will be produced by Berlanti Productions in association with Waner Bros. Television. Executive producers include Fiveash, Stoteraux, Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and David Madden, with Abrams co-executive producing.
It has been confirmed that the pilot won’t be a spin-off to the network’s Javicia Leslie-led Arrowverse series, nor will it tie into the upcoming Gotham Knights video game developed by WB Games Montreal.
