The CW has found its Batwoman, announcing Tuesday it cast Ruby Rose to be its lesbian superhero.
Rose will debut as DC Comics character in The CW’s annual crossover event spanning its DC-based series “Arrow,” “The Flash” and “Supergirl” in December. The network is also developing a standalone series from Greg Berlanti and Caroline Dries.
The standalone project is in contention for the 2019-2020 TV season.
Here is the logline for the standalone series:
Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence.
