We recently found out that Batwoman had officially been ordered to series at the CW, and the network has now revealed when the show will air as part of its schedule for the 2019-2020 season.

In addition, we have a new promo image featuring Ruby Rose as Kate Kane, and Camrus Johnson as Luke Fox. You'll notice that the still also gives us a first look at the Arrowverse's take on the Batsuit.

Although it's been confirmed that The Dark Knight won't actually be showing up, it seems clear that his legacy will play a part in shaping Batwoman as Gotham's new protector.

“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.”

Neat pic, hoping for the best here.

With regards to the upcoming DC CW roster for the Fall, most excited for Arrow and then Supergirl. A bit surprised that Legends is being held off until the midseason, really hope that the Legends at least show up for the Crisis crossover.

I honestly don't know how much longer they can tiptoe around his existence without physically showing him at this point. Its more annoying than exciting. They literally have to introduce Bruce at some point within the next 5 years if they want it to line up with that easter egg in Flash.

@Kurne -

What easter egg?

@Kurne - Which easter egg said that Bruce has to show up by 2024?

@Kurne - erm...dont know if you have seen the Flash Season 5 finale (and technically the Arrow Season 7 finale too, because that might have some bearing on the Queen part of that headline)...but the ending might have made that impossible now

That's actually not a bad suit. Better than Gotham and Titans. Don't know how functional it is though.

I don't have very high hopes for this show. At most it will have 1-2 good/decent seasons and then will fall prey to the CW disease.

Also not entirely sure of Ruby Rose's acting chops.

Weird that Batwoman is at an earlier hour than Supergirl.

I'm just not sure if I have it in me to watch this show. CW never ceases to fail me, and like an idiot I continue watching. They just don't know how to properly do the drama parts which slowly but surely takes over each of their DC shows. Best DC show right now is Doom Patrol. That show is bonkers and simply wonderful.

Well, it's better than what Gotham's got going on. Though it could've used something to break up the empty space near the abs.

@Nebula - I have one question... What exactly did Mantis do during the final fight? There were a couple of scenes, like this one, that set her up for some action but never showed her in actual action. She was one of the only characters that were never really given a 'moment' in that final fight.
