When she auditioned actors for “All: American: Homecoming,” the college spinoff of The CW’s “All American,” series creator Nkechi Okoro Carroll only had a few lines for nonbinary character Nathaniel until Rhoyle Ivy King, who uses he/him/they pronouns, “murdered” the audition. Carroll quickly expanded the role and now Nathaniel appears in 10 out of 13 episodes of the drama, which premieres Monday on The CW.

Fans have long hoped that Camrus Johnson, who plays the younger Fox, would take up the superhero identity, as he does in the comics. But for the entire first season and front half of the second, Luke has simply been our resident “guy in the chair” (if you’ll forgive the Marvel reference in a DC story) in the Bat Cave. It’s been enjoyable, but seeing Luke rescue Ryan/Batwoman in the field multiple times this season has shown he has definite potential.
In fact, it’s something Johnson himself has also been vocal about wanting to do.
