After teasing the appearance of a major Batman villain, showrunner Caroline Dries has officially revealed which of the Dark Knight’s foes will stir up trouble in the first season of
Batwoman.
Today, during San Diego Comic-Con, Dries confirmed (via
CNET) that the famous villain Thomas Elliot, a.k.a. Hush, is one of the many threats Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) will have to face. However, comic book fans should expect a different twist on the character, as we will apparently see a new take on his origin.
"The character of Tommy Elliot who ultimately becomes the supervillain Hush but we're seeing his origins of why he hates Batman so much," Dries explained.
While Hush will likely be the most talked about reveal from the panel, it was announced that Burt Ward, who played Robin in the classic 1960’s
Batman series, will also make an appearance at some point in Season 1.
Batwoman is currently scheduled to premiere October 6, 2019 on The CW network.
