[vc_row][vc_column][vc_single_image image=”16099″ img_size=”800×450″ alignment=”center”][vc_column_text]Batwoman is gearing up to hit The CW this fall. Ruby Rose plays the titular character and from the teasers we’ve seen, she’s ready to kick some ass in Gotham. But, what does she have to go up against in her premiere series? According to the series showrunner Caroline Davis, a “serious Batman villain” shows up:
“In episode three, we have a pretty serious Batman villain show up thinking, ‘I’m going to f—ing kill Batman’.”
Dries also explained that Batwoman will be more grounded in her series as opposed to characters/shows like The Flash and DC’s Legends of Tomorrow:
“Batwoman is the only caped crusader in town. We’ll have bad guys show up wearing their own versions of disguises, but in terms of costumed good guys or bad guys, it’s just Kate in hers. It’s very tempting to jump to what the other shows are doing now because that’s the world we’re living in. But I keep going back to what was Arrow Season One? [We’re aiming for a] back to basics of a girl kind of discovering the awesomeness of this Batsuit, all of this Bat tech that she has access to, and just keeping it simple.”
Dries then went on to discuss the personality traits of Batwoman and how she is not just a “female Batman”:
“I love all the Bat-gadgets that we do in the fight scenes and the action is right up my alley, but the thing I love about the show or all of these new character dynamics that are unfolding, and one of the things I love writing regardless of genre, is the romantic elements of the show. For Kate, a big part of her identity is her personal life, obviously, and what she’s doing when she’s not Batwoman. One of the things she’s going to figure out pretty early on is, ‘Oh, I now see why there was no Mrs. Wayne.’ It’s because it was very hard to be the hero of Gotham and have a love life. So her personal life will have its due time on screen, and she’s trying to grapple with how do I be Kate and also be Batwoman.”
Batwoman hits The CW on October 8th of this year.
