    Batwoman TV Series In Works At the CW With LGBT Superhero Lead

    Batwoman is already scheduled to visit the Arrowverse for the annual crossover event in December; she may now become a permanent member of it, expanding the universe and breaking some TV ground in the process. The CW has put in development a Batwoman series for 2019 consideration. It hails from former The Vampire Diaries executive producer Caroline Dries and the architect of the CW Arrowverse, Greg Berlanti.

    Deadline reports that Batwoman already has been a trailblazer for LGBTQ+ representation in comics. After a long hiatus, she was reintroduced to the DC comic universe in 2006 when she was established as a Jewish lesbian (COMMENCE SCREAMING AND CHEERING), becoming the first-ever lesbian superhero title DC character. Now Batwoman would become the first gay lead character — male or female — of a live-action superhero series. (DC, Berlanti and Warner Bros. Animation previously collaborated on the first animated show with a gay lead, Freedom Fighters: The Ray on CW Seed).

    Casting is about to begin for an actress to play Batwoman in the DC crossover event in December. If Batwoman goes to pilot, the same actress will play the central character in it.

    Until then, we can’t wait to see more exciting developments with this delicious franchise! Hopefully whenever the pilot is filmed, the director and designers are able to match the incredible aesthetic of the comics and maintain the integrity of the noir plot lines.

    Are you excited for a Batwoman series? What actress would you cast for her to play the lead? Tell Nerdbot about it and get the conversation going!
