Storyline: Batwoman
When the show picks up, Gotham City is in despair. In Batman’s absence, the city has become overrun by crime. Even as her father Jacob makes desperate attempts to keep her very safe, Kate throws herself into danger when her ex-girlfriend is kidnapped by the Alice in Wonderland gang. With a little help from Luke Fox, who readjusts Bruce Wayne’s Batman suit to fit her, Kate swings into action to save her ex-flame — and maybe Gotham in this process.
The Kate Kane iteration of Batwoman first appeared in 2011’s Batwoman #1. The character is an out lesbian and was expelled from West Point due to Don’t-Ask-Don’t-Tell, a policy of the United States military that barred openly the LGBTQ people from serving. Its repeal was officially enacted in 2011.

Television, Batwoman stars Ruby Rose, Rachel Skarsten, Meagan Tandy, Camrus Johnson, Dougray Scott, Elizabeth Anweis and Nicole Kang.
