Batwoman Season 2 News

Batwoman has just delivered a shocker in the case of Kate Kane and her disappearance that led to the rise of a brand new Batwoman, and the show isn’t out of twists now that Ryan Wilder is wearing the cape and the cowl. Gotham City is about to get more dangerous as Batwoman has found its Black Mask for the remainder of the second season.

In season two of Batwoman, when Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie) first discovers Kate Kane’s Batsuit, she has no idea how drastically her life is about to change. A sassy, smart lesbian with a difficult past, Ryan sees the suit as her chance to finally be powerful and no longer a victim as she survives in the tough streets of the city.

While Ryan goes rogue in the shadows, Gotham grapples with their missing hero, believing Batwoman has fled the city after a public stand-off with Commander Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott) and the Crows. But Kate Kane’s disappearance hits hardest at home where Jacob, Sophie (Meagan Tandy), Luke (Camrus Johnson), Mary (Nicole Kang), and even Alice (Rachel Skarsten) each struggle with the devastating news in their own way. Meanwhile, the False Face Society tightens its grip on Gotham, distributing a perilous new drug known as Snakebite, “Bruce Wayne” (Warren Christie) finds his way home to wreak havoc, Safiyah (Shivaani Ghai) surfaces with plans for revenge, and a new set of villains descends on the city.

Designated Survivor alum Peter Outerbridge will play the villainous Black Mask in the CW superhero series. Roman Sionis, a.k.a. Black Mask, will be a major part of the storyline throughout the rest of the season. Pragmatic and charismatic CEO Roman plays the “white knight” against Gotham’s corrupt systems while Black Mask is an evil mastermind with a deep hatred of The Crows and masked vigilantes. The villain is willing to tear down Gotham to enact his revenge.

It’s not long before Ryan realizes how much the symbol on the suit means to Gotham, launching her on a personal journey that takes her from fledgling substitute to confident caped crusader, from living in her van with her plant to chasing villains in the Batmobile. Ryan Wilder becomes a very different Batwoman than Kate Kane – her own Batwoman – but with the same understanding of what it means to be a hero.

Peter Outerbridge is no stranger to comic book adaptations. In 2019, he had a recurring role as The Conductor in Netflix’s The Umbrella Academy, which is based on the comic book series of the same name written by Gerard Way of My Chemical Romance. Other credits in Outerbridge’s name include Netflix’s short-lived series V-Wars, Amazon Prime’s science fiction drama The Expanse, The CW’s action thriller drama Nikita and movies such as Code 8, Saw VI, Mission to Mars and Cool Runnings.

Based on the characters from DC, Batwoman is from Berlanti Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television with executive producers Greg Berlanti (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl), Caroline Dries (The Vampire Diaries, Smallville), Geoff Johns (Arrow, The Flash, Titans), Chad Fiveash (The Vampire Diaries, Gotham), James Patrick Stoteraux (The Vampire Diaries, Gotham) and Sarah Schechter (Arrow, The Flash, Supergirl). Shivani Ghai (Dominion, The Catch), Leah Gibson (Jessica Jones), Nathan Owens (Devious Maids), and Alex Morf (Gotham) join the second season’s cast.
