Batwoman is a go at The CW!

The network has given a pilot order to the DC drama project starring Ruby Rose, Deadline reported on Thursday (January 3).

David Nutter is set to direct the pilot.

The CW first revealed the show’s development after announcing the appearance of Batwoman in the annual Arrow-verse crossover.

Batwoman also marks the first gay lead character of a live-action superhero series.

Here’s a summary: “Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane (Rose) soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street 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 savior, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.”
