It looks like Batwoman is the next hero to debut on the CW, and fans are definitely intrigued by her upcoming series.

In case you missed the news, The CW has greenlit development on a Batwoman television series that would debut in 2019, though it still needs to be officially picked up of course. The character is set to debut in this year's big CW DC Universe crossover, so odds are CW will gauge reaction to the character once that hits, helping to inform their decision to move forward with the project.

Kate Kane is the woman behind the cowl of Batwoman, and the series will put her in the role of Gotham's protector. There's no mention of Batman, but obviously, he exists in the universe, so odds are he would at least be referred to in the series.

Kane will be a lesbian in the show just like in the comics, and her conflicts with past demons will also be along for the ride.

The character has been a fan favorite in the comics and ironically debuted there much like she will on The CW. She first surfaced in the 52 weekly series (specifically Week #7) and once fans saw her costume they couldn't get enough. It wouldn't be until Greg Rucka and J.H. Williams III's run on the character though that she would really gain a foundation, as the duo filled out the character's history with some gorgeous visuals to boot.

Since then the character of Kate Kane has been an important part of the DCU, most recently playing a big role in leading Batman's newest team of Gotham protectors in Detective Comics as well as holding down her own solo series.

Now she's heading to the world of television, and fans are excited and cautious about how she will fare. Hit the next slide to see how fans are reacting to the news!
