I’m happy to report however that Batwoman has everything about the Arrowverse and the source material that we love. Still, a great character from the comics joining a great on-screen universe isn’t always a sure thing – just ask Hawkgirl. Greg Rucka’s Batwomas: Elegy was one of the first (and only) comics I ever bought, and I’m a big fan of the Arrowverse in general. Now, I’ll admit, as a red-headed, queer lady who likes a dramatic cape myself, I’m a bit biased when it comes to Kate Kane. And believe me friends, there’s a lot in Batwoman to be excited about. This year at Comic Con, watching the pilot with a packed, ecstatic audience in ballroom 20 was incredible fun and now the rest of the world finally gets to see what all the excitement is about. We’ve been excited for this series since it was announced last year at SDCC that Kate Kane would be making her screen debut and her introduction was one of several highlights in the Arrowverse Elseworlds crossover last fall.
We’ve been waiting so long for the official debut of Batwoman on the CW that the first episode of her series, debuting tonight on the CW, doesn’t feel like a pilot as much as it does the return of a character we already know – and already love.
