Batwoman Teaser Trailer
The CW has released the firstBatwomanteaser trailer, just as the network officially picked upBatwomanto series, according toDeadline.
But a series order had already seemed a done deal, especially after the fanfare surrounding thecasting ofOrange is the New Blackbreakout Ruby Rose, and the hype leading up to the character’s introduction in theannualArrow-verse crossover. The crossover played as backdoor pilot for a potentialBatwomanspin-off, which would be produced by CW superhero show maestro Greg Berlanti through his Berlanti Productions and written byCaroline Dries. Dries' pilot script made such a strong impression that thepilot was picked up earlyand fast-tracked through production, to rave reception when it was finished, Deadline reports.
It was all leading up to this trailer, which shows Ruby Rose in costume as Kate Kane, the heiress who moonlights as a vigilante protecting the streets of Gotham while her cousin Bruce Wayne, aka Batman, has mysteriously vanished. Rose’s natural charisma stole the scenes in theArrow-verse crossover “Elseworlds,” and that swagger can be seen in this brief teaser trailer, which doesn’t show much outside of Rose doing some expert brooding. Just look at that cape!
Here is the logline forBatwoman:
Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane (star Ruby Rose) 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. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.
