Ruby, who became popular post her appearance in Netflix's Orange is the New Black, is even more striking as Batwoman. But what makes a superhero good is the villain. The trailer shows the crazy Alice in Wonderland gang headed by Alice, played by Rachel Skarsten and she is bad and may be the closest thing to Batman's Joker.
What has got fans going gaga is the super empowering and witty dialogues Ruby's character has in her bag. Speaking to the assistant at Batman’s underground lair, Batwoman says that Batman's suit will be 'literal perfection', "when it fits a woman". Now that's what we call girl power!
While a premiere date has not been announced for the series, The CW has revealed it will air Sundays at 8 PM. Additionally, though it hasn't been confirmed, it's likely that the show will be featured in the upcoming Crisis on Infinite Earths crossover.
