Earlier today, The CW released the first trailer for the network’s upcoming Batwoman series featuring Ruby Rose reprising her role as Kate Kane from last year’s Elseworlds crossover for the Arrowverse. Ruby Rose was first announced last summer to play Kate Kane aka Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the Gotham’s criminal resurgence. Ruby Rose will be the first openly gay superhero to lead a live-action series. Ruby Rose made her debut in the Arrowverse last year in during the Elseworlds crossover event last year which featured Green Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl visiting Gotham City after learning about the machinations of an Arkham Asylum doctor.
The first trailer for Batwoman features a Gotham City abandoned by Batman before Ruby Rose’s Kate Kane modifies Bruce Wayne’s Batsuit to become Batwoman. The trailer gives us a brief look at the Batsuit in the pilot which is set prior to the events of the Elseworlds crossover.
Thanks to some HD renders from digital artist skull101ify, we can get an even better look at the details for Batman’s Batsuit featured in Batwoman starring Ruby Rose. Check them out below!
Batwoman was first introduced in Detective Comics back in 1956 as Kathy Kane. She was one of the first vigilantes to make up the “Batman Family.” The character was reimagined for DC’s New 52 as Kate Kane, a Jewish lesbian who protects Gotham City as Batwoman.
An ex-soldier who was raised by her obsessive father, Kate Kane picked up the Batwoman mantle separate from her cousin’s decision to fight crime in Gotham. She has no problem putting herself in harm’s way to protect others and she’s also an intelligent tactician who will challenge Oliver Queen for the top slot in Arrow‘s Justice League.
David Nutter is has directed the pilot from a script written by Caroline Dries (The Vampire Diaries) writing the script. Greg Berlanti is on board to produce the series along with Berlanti Productions’ Sarah Schechter, Dries, and Geoff Johns serving executive producers.

Here is the official synopsis for Batwoman:
Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) never planned to be Gotham’s new vigilante. Three years after Batman mysteriously disappeared, Gotham is a city in despair. Without the Caped Crusader, the Gotham City Police Department was overrun and outgunned by criminal gangs. Enter Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott) and his military-grade Crows Private Security, which now protects the city with omnipresent firepower and militia. Years before, Jacob’s first wife and daughter were killed in the crossfire of Gotham crime. He sent his only surviving daughter, Kate Kane, away from Gotham for her safety.
After a dishonorable discharge from military school and years of brutal survival training, Kate returns home when the Alice in Wonderland gang targets her father and his security firm, by kidnapping his best Crow officer Sophie Moore (Meagan Tandy). Although remarried to wealthy socialite Catherine Hamilton-Kane (Elizabeth Anweis), who bankrolls the Crows, Jacob is still struggling with the family he lost, while keeping Kate –– the daughter he still has –– at a distance. But Kate is a woman who’s done asking for permission. In order to help her family and her city, she’ll have to become the one thing her father loathes –– a dark knight vigilante.
With the help of her compassionate stepsister, Mary (Nicole Kang), and the crafty Luke Fox (Camrus Johnson), the son of Wayne Enterprises’ tech guru Lucius Fox, Kate Kane continues the legacy of her missing cousin, Bruce Wayne, as Batwoman. Still holding a flame for her ex-girlfriend, Sophie, Kate uses everything in her power to combat the dark machinations of the psychotic Alice (Rachel Skarsten), who’s always somewhere slipping between sane and insane. Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate soars through the shadowed streets of Gotham as Batwoman. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, she must first overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.
Batwoman stars Ruby Rose, Rachel Skarsten, Meagan Tandy, Camrus Johnson, Dougray Scott, Elizabeth Anweis, and Nicole Kang. Caroline Dries wrote the pilot and serves as an executive-producing alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schecht, and Geoff Johns.
Batwoman starring Ruby Rose will air on Sundays at 8:00 p.m. on The CW.
