  • The CW is developing a "Batwoman" TV series.
  • The show would star the first openly gay superhero to headline a live-action show or movie.
  • If picked up to series, the show would premiere in 2019. 
  • Batwoman will make her debut later this year in a CW "Arrowverse" crossover event.
"In the series, Kate Kane, armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, 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."
