The CW’s ‘Batwoman’ Pilot Rumored To Start Filming In April

Ruby Rose’s Batwoman debuts in next week’s Elseworlds crossover and filming for the potential spinoff show’s pilot episode will reportedly begin in April.

It was announced at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con that the Arrowverse would be introducing Batwoman in The CW’s annual crossover event. Next week’s Elseworlds crossover will also serve as a backdoor pilot for the character, who will be played by Rose. According to DiscussingFilm, The CW’s Batwoman pilot is eyeing an April 2019 production start. If the Batwoman series is picked up by The CW, it would become the network’s sixth DC series, which started with Arrow in 2013.
