It's too soon to say whether
Batwoman will be a worthy addition to the Arrowverse, but with
Arrow set to come to an end this year, there's definitely room for a new hero to step up in Oliver Queen's absence. Now, an amazing new poster has been released which declares that "Her time is now."
Ruby Rose looks perfect in Kate Kane's Batsuit, but there are many fans who have their doubts about the show, especially after the trailers have pointed to it being a little rough around the edges.
Introduced in last year's Elseworlds crossover,
Batwoman takes place in a Gotham City where Batman has been M.I.A. for the past three years. That's obviously a way to avoid including Batman in the show, as Warner Bros. appears determined to keep the Dark Knight off the small screen for the most part (in
Gotham, we got a single shot of the hero, and he'll only be Bruce Wayne in
Titans).

"I’ve kind of grown with this character," says Benoist, who originally played Supergirl on CBS before the show was moved to The CW.
"It took me a long time to actually feel that strength [of being a superhero]. I feel like if you don’t feel it from the inside out, it’s not going to translate."
"I get to be the Flash on TV, surrounded by all these other superheroes and it’s something I never want to take for granted," Gustin says when asked what being The Flash means to him.
"[When] they offered me the job [on Arrow], if they had said, ‘Yeah, you can have the job, but you have to pay us $5,000 per episode just to be in the show’ I would’ve been like, ‘Yeah, okay. Sure, I’ll do that,'" Amell says, reflecting on being cast as Oliver Queen/Green Arrow when the show launched in 2012.
"Arrow was the most important thing in my entire life by a wide margin. And then I got married, and it became the co-most important thing in my life. Then my wife and I had [our daughter], and Arrow dropped to number three, but I f–ing care a lot about it. I really, really do. I think about it all the time."
"I didn’t know what I was getting myself into," Lotz says, reflecting on being cast as Black Canary in
Arrow.
"I remember talking to my friend and was like, ‘I don’t know. I look terrible in this costume.’ She was like, ‘It doesn’t even matter how you look. All that matters is how you feel. If you feel good, you will look good.’ I was like, “Yes, I feel good. I look good. Let’s do it!'"
"I feel like up until now I haven’t really been given the opportunity to play a character that has these dynamics of such severe trauma and such heartbreak and betrayal and loss," Rose says of her role as Batwoman.
"She’s heavy. She has a really heavy heart for a lot of very valid reasons."
