CW is looking to increase their comic book line up as the network is teaming with DC’s Greg Berlanti to develop Batwoman as a TV series. The character of Batwoman will officially be introduced in December as part of The CW’s annual DC series crossover event.
Batwoman revolves around Kate Kane who turns to save the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence.
The upcoming DC crossover will mark the first time the character of Batwoman will appear in live-action form on any screen when she is seen fighting alongside The CW’s well known DC heroes.
Should Batwoman move to series, it would join a slate of DC series at The CW that includes Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl, Legends of Tomorrow and Black Lightning as Berlanti also builds a roster of DC fare on the comic book powerhouse’s forthcoming DC Universe subscription digital platform. Launching in August, that platform will feature scripted originals including Titans, Doom Patrol and more.
Batwoman will join the CW’s line up that includes The CW’s All American, Arrow, Black Lightning, Legends of Tomorrow, The Flash, Riverdale and Supergirl; NBC’s Blindspot; CBS’ God Friended Me and The Red Line; The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina at Netflix; DC Universe’s digital service’s Doom Patrol and Titans; Lifetime’s You; and The CW Seed animated series Freedom Fighters: The Way and Constantine: City of Demons. He’s repped by WME and Felker Toczek.
