Batwoman

Overview

Three years after billionaire philanthropist Bruce Wayne and his vigilante alter-ego Batman disappeared, his cousin Kate Kane sets out to overcome her demons by protecting the streets of Gotham City as Batwoman and becoming a symbol of hope.

Kate Kane never planned to be Gotham’s new vigilante. Armed with a passion for justice and a flair for speaking her mind, she soars through the shadowed streets of Gotham as Batwoman. In a city desperate for a savior, she must first overcome her own demons before becoming Gotham’s superhero.

After Kate goes missing, Ryan Wilder picks up the cowl, determined to make Gotham better.
