The CW’s Batwoman project, starring Ruby Rose, has been given a pilot pickup order and Game of Thrones director David Nutter will helm the pilot.
As reported by EW, this pilot pickup order follows the DC crossover event that introduced Ruby Rose’s Batwoman and took place in three parts across The Flash, Arrow, and Supergirl.
EW also has the official description of the series, which is as follows;
“Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane (star Ruby Rose) soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city’s criminal resurgence. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, Kate must overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.”
As previously mentioned, Emmy-winning director David Nutter will lead the pilot. Nutter has directed such episodes of Game of Thrones as The Rains of Castamere (The Red Wedding), and has more episodes on the way in the upcoming final season.
Additionally, Nutter is “also know around Hollywood as “the pilot whisperer” as he’s credited with directing numerous successful pilots that were eventually picked up to series.”
His credits, alongside Game of Thrones, include first episodes of such series as The Flash, Arrow, The Mentalist, Supernatural, Without a Trace, and Smallville.
There have been reports of a Batwoman TV series dating back to July of 2018 and we’ve recently discussed how this crossover event set up the now announced spinoff series.
DC One Million\r\n
\r\n
\r\nDC One Million explored the distant future of the DCU, taking palce in the 853rd Century (the time when writer Grant Morrison calculated that DC would finally publish the millionth issue of Action Comics). In this story, the present-day Justice League of America joined forces with the futuristic Justice Legion Alpha to defeat the alliance of Vandal Savage and Solaris the Living Sun. \r\n
\r\n
\r\nThis crossover could give the Arrowverse an opportunity to do better by Savage compared to how he\u0027s been handled so far. But more importantly, it would be fun to see what the Arrowverse might look like tens of thousands of years in the future.
