“An out lesbian and highly trained fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a saviour, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.”
Love, Simon director and Chilling Adventures of Sabrina producer Greg Berlanti also serves as executive producer on the pilot episode of Batwoman.
