'Batwoman' Season 2 Trailer Released
The CW has released a new trailer for the second installment of "Batwoman". The drama series' second season kicks off with a major game-changer that will alter Gotham and The Bat Team forever. As the dust settles, Batwoman has everything working against her - including the recently escaped rogues' gallery of villains - and everyone will come to see her in a whole new light.Caroline Dries, the showrunner, had this to say about the upcoming season, "Ryan's journey starts from a place of 'What can this Batsuit do for me?' But it's not long before she realizes the power of its symbol and what it can do for everyone else in Gotham City. As Ryan embraces everything that makes her special, she adjusts the suit to fit her physically and figuratively. This meant creating a new body design and new cowl that was undeniably a statement that screamed 'powerful.' Maya Mani sent me her drawings and I loved it. The wig was something we never perfected in season one, and Janice Workman crushed it with this new take. Javicia and I saw various prototypes of styles and red ombres, and at one point we were trading our own iPad-doodled versions. Janice translated that into what we are looking at now. When I see it, I smile. It makes me feel inspired."Javicia Leslie will be cast as the new lead in "Batwoman", replacing Ruby Rose who exited the role in May. "Batwoman" season 2 debuts on the network January 17,2021. Check out the trailer below.The city needs a hero. Season 2 premieres Sunday, January 17!
