At its upfront presentation in the spring, the CW president Mark Pedowitz said, “This is the first time ever that Batwoman make a live-action appearance on any screen.”

The Bat is out of the bag and I am beyond thrilled and honored. I’m also an emotional wreck.. because this is a childhood dream. This is something I would have died to have seen on TV when I was a young member of the LGBT community who never felt represented on tv and felt alone and different. Thank you everyone. Thank you god.
