The CW has an exciting new trailer out for the Batwoman this fall. Hordes of patrons come to a local tattoo parlor to get the same tattoo–a bat symbol. This foreshadows the rise of Gotham’s new dark knight, a caped female crusader, who takes down bad guys in the wake of a lost Batman. The series stars Ruby Rose and features Elizabeth Anweis, Dougray Scott, Sam Littlefield, Rachel Skarsten, and Brenden Zub, as well as others. Moreover the producing staff includes Caroline Dries and Sarah Schechter.

This Batwoman character reports the first openly gay tv superhero character, which is exciting for fans. Batwoman’s Jewish heritage is also prominent, and key to the ethos of the character in the show. The diverse origins of Batwoman make her a great character for fans to get lost in immediately through the show. Batwoman premieres at the conclusion of CW’s Arrow, which ran for eight seasons, so it offers viewers a show to ease the transition moving on to.

The actress playing Batwoman, Ruby Rose, has spoken a lot about the correlations between her own sexual orientation and that of her character. She says that it does not complicate things playing a gay character. She embraces the roles, which she wants to play and focuses and channelling the best performances she can through powerful characters. The show is set three years after the mysterious departure of Bruce Wayne and promises to be action packed as well as story driven through the coming of Batwoman. Within the “Arrowverse,” which is where this series operates, Batwoman is an extension of the gothic hero saga initiated by the Arrow series; moreover, she introduced herself with a crossover episode in 2018. The show is exciting and as the premiere date marches on forward everyone is sitting in anticipation of the arrival of this badass heroine. Batwoman is set to premiere on October 6, 2019, and run on Sundays for its first season.
