BATWOMAN
Season 1 | US The CW, TBC | UK TBC
The CW’s DC shows have been a beacon of inclusivity for a while now; the latest season of
Supergirl, for example, features a transgender character. But nothing they’ve done so far has caused as much controversy as the casting of Ruby Rose as Batwoman. Debuting in December in a three-night crossover featuring the Flash, Arrow and Supergirl, before eventually starring in her own series, this Batwoman will, like the latest comics, be openly lesbian and the actor says she herself is “gender fluid”. All too much for some smaller-minded folks, but given The CW’s history of doing fine work with DC characters, we have high hopes.
