Thanks to
Entertainment Weekly, we have a first look at the new romantic interest for Kate Kate in season one of
Batwoman.
Played by
The Passage star Brianne Howey, Reagan will be introduced as a bartender at Tommy Elliot's party in this Sunday's episode and a romance between her and Gotham City's new Caped Crusader will kick off in the fourth instalment of The CW series.
"We can expect to see Kate’s story get complicated by her," Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries reveals. "Kate realizes that Sophie’s got stuff to figure out emotionally and personally, and she’s not about to be a home-wrecker. So, she is just keeping her options open like anyone might [and] meets Reagan at this big penthouse housewarming party in Gotham."
"When we had a character who was so defined by her sexual orientation, just naturally by the press and what makes her unique, it was important for me that was a major part of the show and that we’re not shying away from it," she continues when asked about why it's a priority to show a relationship such as this for the show's lead character.
"On a macro level, we just want Kate to be in a romantic situation. Then on a story level, Kate has now by this time embraced her identity as Batwoman and has kind of committed to being the city’s new hero, and she wants it to be easier than it is and realizes very quickly, ‘Yeah, now I see why Bruce Wayne never had a long-term girlfriend and never got married.'"
