MOVE over Batman, Gotham has a new caped crusader.
The internet was set ablaze recently when news broke that a pilot for a Batwoman tv series will begin filming in Vancouver on Sunday, March 4th, 2019.
Australian Ruby Rose will continue to don the cape and cowl as Kate Kane’s crime-fighting alter ego after a successful debut last year as part of CW’s ‘Elseworld’ crossover event featuring The Flash, Supergirl and Arrow.
According to the show summary on IMDb:
“In the series, Kate Kane, a highly trained street fighter will soar onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero yet.
In a city desperate for a saviour, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.”
Caroline Dries (Smallville, Melrose Place, The Vampire Diaries) will be writing and executive produce the series alongside Geoff Johns, Sarah Schechter and Greg Berlanti.
When the news broke, the multi-talented actress, model, DJ, boxer, recording artist, television presenter, and MTV VJ shared on Instagram with her 13.6million followers that she was “thrilled and honored” and “an emotional wreck” over the news.
Rose, 32, who shot to fame in Netflix’s Orange Is the New Black will also be seen in the big screen this year in John wick 3: Parabellum reprising her role as Ares, the sexy henchwoman loyal to Chapter 2’s lead villain, Santino D’Antonio.
