New character breakdowns for The CW’s Batwoman pilot tease possible appearances from Renee Montoya, Batwing, and other DC characters.
Ruby Rose’s Batwoman is set to make her Arrowverse debut in next week’s Elseworlds crossover and will serve as a backdoor pilot for a potential spin-off series. The CW’s Batwoman pilot will reportedly begin filming in April of next year, which means casting for the pilot is underway. That Hashtag Show got a hold of some character breakdowns for the pilot, which teases some familiar DC characters entering the Arrowverse. The first character breakdown is for “Joseph,’ who sounds like Batwoman aka Kate Kane’s father Jake:
“A Caucasian male in his late 40s to mid-50s. “Joseph” is described as a former high ranking military Colonel, who instead of grieving the terrible loss of his wife and one of his daughters, formed his own army in order to make sure no one else has to ever go through the tragedy he had to experience. “Joseph” also leads a private security and logistics firm in Gotham City, called “The Crows.” He is both extremely tough, political as well as emotionless, but has one weakness in his life that makes him soften up…and that is his other daughter who he constantly tries to push away.”
The next description is for Alexa, who is seemingly Batwoman’s arch nemesis, Alice, who is also Kate’s sister Elizabeth:
“A 27-year old Caucasian who is Batwoman’s greatest enemy, basically her own personal Joker. “Alexa” is a woman who has experienced a tremendous amount of trauma in her more sensitive years. That has in turn caused “Alexa” to divorce herself from reality by living in a fantastical world where she is the star. Attached to Victorian attire, “Alexa” is a charming lunatic who manages to go from being psychotic to caring easily, which is why her unreliable behavior is a dangerous weapon in itself.”
Sloane appears to be GCPD’s Renne Montoya, who is also the love interest of Kate Kane:
“A Latina in her late 20s/early 30s. Brought up in a tight-knit family, “Sloane” is both feisty, charming and has incredible fighting abilities, with soldier experiences, as she is one of the best agents for the Crows and always goes by the book. But “Sloane” is hiding a deep secret from her husband which is that once upon a time, she was in love with Kate Kane.”
It seems Lucius Fox’s son Luke will also make an appearance in the pilot. Luke was first introduced during the New 52 and eventually becomes Batwing:
“An African-American male in his early 20s who is devoted to Batman. “Landon” comes from an imperative legacy that has serviced the Caped Crusader with engineered gadgets. With Wayne Enterprises now abandoned, “Landon” is the one keeping it secure. While he is brilliant with tech, his social skills aren’t exactly the strongest as he goes out of his way to not make friends, after being betrayed by Gotham’s bureaucracy. With the Dark Knight missing, “Landon” soon begins to understand Gotham City’s demand for a new hero.”
The last description is for “Meredith” who looks to be Kate’s cousin Bette and the DC superhero, Flamebird:
“A woman in her early 20s, a role that is open for any ethnicity, with preference to Asian or Latin actresses. She is described as carrying a lovely and heavy demeanor, which makes it easy to view her as an airheaded amateur. Although she is considered talky, she is deeply compassionate toward those the city has forgotten, with her compassion only surpassed by her own intelligence. Like Kate Kane, “Meredith” will have a secret life of her own in Gotham City.
