We have some exciting news to kick off 2019 as it's been revealed today that The CW has officially ordered a Batwoman pilot. Starring Orange is the Black's Ruby Rose in the title role, the series is set to follow Kate Kane in Gotham City after her debut in the "Elseworlds" crossover.

Arrow and The Flash veteran David Nutter will be directing the pilot episode for the network.

Slated to premiere later this year, Batwoman will focus on "an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter" who is "primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence."

Caroline Dries (The Vampire Diaries) penned the pilot episode and will executive produce Batwoman alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Geoff Johns. In other words, there's a lot of great talent here and no reason to believe that it won't end up debuting this fall on The CW. 

Are you excited to see more of Kate Kane in action? Share your thoughts on that down below.

Cool, we pretty much knew it was getting picked up anyway to pilot.

Batwoman herself was neat to see on screen during Elseworlds, I thought Rose did a great job with the action and I hope that her fight scenes look like that in her own show. I wasn't really that impressed with Rose portraying grungy looking Kane- perhaps its because we spent so little time with her and didn't really get a proper fleshed out introduction, but hoping Rose comes off as a bit more 'comfortable' in the role come this Fall (which I imagine she will be).

Anyways, bring it! Curious as to what the Fall schedule will be compared to the other Arrowverse shows.


Also, really hoping that Talia makes an appearance, considering she told Oliver she had run afoul of an old contact in Gotham, and that can only mean she was referring to Kane.

@MasterMix - well how are you gauging a show needing to end? Length of being on air? I used quality and chose the weakest show.
MasterMix
MasterMix - 1/3/2019, 1:50 PM
@HeavyMetal4Life - Honestly I think they should both end. They've run their course and should let new shows take their place.

@MasterMix - okay fair enough, though I don't think Arrow has run its course yet if it was able to deliver such a great prison storyline from this season (that final prison episode was probably one of the show's best episodes ever). I think Arrow has one more season (especially cause Amell said he would only don the iconic goatee in the final season).

I want a Constantine show back though. A no brainer for the CW, to air during the summer when almost nothing else is on.

@MasterMix - probably Arrow, its been a mostly good run, with the only really bad season being season 4, when they tried to hard to be like Flash, better to end it on a high note, plus it seems likely Oliver will die in Crisis next year

This is awesome news!! Having Nutter direct the pilot for the Batwoman show means it'll be another big success for the Arrowverse and go straight to series. I wonder what'll be the next spin-off pilot as part of the 7th Arrowverse crossover.
