Supernatural star Misha Collins is swapping his halo for a more villainous role in Gotham Knights. The TV drama takes place in the wake of Batman's murder and unmasking. Collins portrays Harvey Dent, the charismatic District Attorney tasked with bringing in the killer. But over the course of the season, the champion of justice's cracks will begin to show as he slowly evolves into the formidable and disfigured Batman foe, Two-Face.
After a lengthy stint as Castiel on Supernatural, what made Gotham Knights the right project to once again lock yourself in as a series regular?
One, this is an iconic role in an iconic universe. It was every boy's fantasy to get to play around in the Batman universe. What the producers outlined for me for the arc of Harvey Dent and Two-Face, as he is eventually to become, was so rich and interesting. What we are doing on this show is having a long, slow burn where we see the unravelling. We see the abusive childhood and the predisposition and all of these other factors leading up to a traumatic, physical event and emotional climax, that almost makes it inevitable that this happens. It's so much fun to play with.
