Following her introduction in the recent Elseworlds Arrowverse crossover, Batwoman will get her own solo series on The CW, and the show has now added three key cast members. Joining Ruby Rose as Kate Kane will be Meagan Tandy (Teen Wolf), Camrus Johnson (Luke Cage) and Nicole Kang (You).
Tandy will play Sophie Moore, who was one of Kate's first loves in the comics. This take on the character is described as "a high-level private security agent and one of Gotham’s staunchest protectors. Despite her bite and regimented outlook, Sophie has a soft side, illuminated by Kate Kane’s return."
Johnson, meanwhile, has been cast as Luke Fox, who is the son of Batman ally Lucius Fox and eventually suits-up as Batwing in the comics. Luke "considers himself the guardian of all things Batman — specifically his symbol — he also recognizes the city’s need for a new hero."
Finally, Kang will portray Kate's step sister Mary Hamilton. "Excitable, talkative, and an influencer-in-the-making, what Mary lacks in a filter she makes up for with her compassion for Gotham’s underserved communities, proving she has more in common with Kate than she thinks."
David Nutter will direct the Batwoman pilot, which was written by by Caroline Dries. No premiere date has been announced yet.
