Take a look at new premiere teaser footage from the upcoming live-action, DC Comics TV series adaptation, "Batwoman", starring Ruby Rose ("Orange Is The New Black") as 'lipstick lesbian', costumed crime-fighter 'Kate Kane', premiering October 6, 2019 on The CW:
"...'Kate Kane' (Ruby Rose) never planned to be the new 'Gotham' crime-fighting vigilante. Three years after 'Batman' mysteriously disappeared, Gotham is a city in despair.
"Without the 'Caped Crusader', the 'Gotham City Police Department' was overrun and outgunned by criminal gangs. Enter 'Jacob Kane' (Dougray Scott) and his military-grade 'Crows Private Security', which now protects the city with omnipresent firepower and militia.
"Years before, Jacob's first wife and daughter were killed in the crossfire of Gotham crime. He sent his only surviving daughter, 'Kate Kane' away from Gotham for her safety.
"After a dishonorable discharge from military school and years of brutal survival training, Kate returns home when the 'Alice in Wonderland' gang targets her father and his security firm, by kidnapping his best Crow officer 'Sophie Moore' (Meagan Tandy).
"Although remarried to wealthy socialite 'Catherine Hamilton-Kane' (Elizabeth Anweis), who bankrolls the Crows, Jacob is still struggling with the family he lost, while keeping Kate –– the daughter he still has –– at a distance.
"But Kate is a woman who's done asking for permission. In order to help her family and her city, she'll have to become the one thing her father loathes –– a dark knight vigilante.
"With the help of her compassionate stepsister, 'Mary' (Nicole Kang), and the crafty 'Luke Fox' (Camrus Johnson), the son of W'ayne Enterprises' tech guru 'Lucius Fox', Kate Kane continues the legacy of her missing cousin, 'Bruce Wayne', as 'Batwoman'.
"Still holding a flame for her ex-girlfriend, 'Sophie', Kate uses everything in her power to combat the dark machinations of the psychotic 'Alice' (Rachel Skarsten), who’s always somewhere slipping between sane and insane.
"Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate soars through the shadowed streets of Gotham as Batwoman.
But don't call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, she must first overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham's symbol of hope..."
