Here’s Your First Look at Ruby Rose as the New Small Screen Batwoman!
As announced a couple months back, The Meg star Ruby Rose has been cast as DC’s Batwoman for The CW, her iteration of the character debuting in December as part of the network’s annual DC Arrowverse crossover event. *Potentially,* Rose’s Batwoman will then be getting her own standalone television series, though that’s not yet set in stone.
EW notes, “Although details about the crossover are scarce, we do know a few things. First, Supergirl (Melissa Benoist), Green Arrow (Stephen Amell), and the Flash (Grant Gustin) wind up traveling to Gotham City because of the machinations of Dr. John Deegan, a possibly insane Arkham Asylum doctor played by Lost‘s Jeremy Davies. Furthermore, the epic event will also introduce the Monitor (Designated Survivor‘s LaMonica Garrett), a DC Comics character of multiversal importance, Lois Lane (Grimm‘s Elizabeth Tulloch), and Nora Fries (Cassandra Jean Amell). Tyler Hoechlin will also reprise the role of Superman.”

This year’s Arrowverse event, “Elseworlds,” begins Sunday night, December 9.
Season two of “Batman: Caped Crusader“, Prime Video’s animated noir series from DC Studios, Warner Bros. Animation, Bad Robot Productions, and 6th & Idaho, is officially set to arrive next month.
Prime Video will premiere all ten episodes of season two on Friday, July 31.
“Batman: Caped Crusader” is a hard-boiled look at the vigilante’s early years, reimagined by J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, Bruce Timm, Sam Register, and Ed Brubaker.
“Welcome to Gotham City, where the corrupt outnumber the good, criminals run rampant, and law-abiding citizens live in a constant state of fear. Forged in the fire of tragedy, wealthy socialite Bruce Wayne becomes something both more and less than human—The Batman.
“His one-man crusade for justice attracts unexpected allies within the GCPD and City Hall, but his heroic actions spawn deadly, unforeseen ramifications.”
The new premiere date comes with a suitably dark first look at some of Gotham’s denizens, including Edward Nygma, Carrie Kelly, and Roxy Rocket, who will be featured in the upcoming season.
Returning voice cast includes Hamish Linklater as Bruce Wayne/Batman, Jamie Chung as Harley Quinn/Harleen Quinzel, Jason Watkins as Alfred Pennyworth, Eric Morgan Stuart as Commissioner Jim Gordon, Krystal Joy Brown as Barbara Gordon, Michelle C. Bonilla as Renee Montoya, and Bumper Robinson as Lucius Fox.
Executive producers J.J. Abrams, Matt Reeves, and Bruce Timm are back for “Batman: Caped Crusader” Season 2. James Tucker, Geoffrey Thorne, Sarah Geismer, Rachel Rusch Rich, and Sam Register also executive produce.
You can catch up on season one now on Prime Video. Our own Daniel Kurland described this noir series as having more in common with EC Horror Comics than DC Comics.
He wrote that the series‘ “immersion into EC Comics ideology and a true indulgence in horror is a superpower that’s more fascinating and dangerous than any WayneTech gadget or Kryptonite-powered super-suit.”
