Batwoman
If you’ve been reading James Tynion IV’s Detective Comics run, you would’ve undoubtedly noticed how much attention he’s given Kate Kane in the book. She’s been put in charge of the Bat Family and leads as Batman’s second-in-command, acting as a mentor to the team and guiding them in training for battles.
Considering the above coupled with her own solo series and soaring popularity over the years, we don’t believe in coincidences. DC is grooming Batwoman for something major – and a film looks more than likely at this point. As a proud LGBT character, she’s also the diversity and representation that the DCEU requires. Not to mention, she’s got the fighting acumen and intelligence to match Batman on any given day.
The chances of Batwoman making it into production, though, rest on the possible success of Joss Whedon’s Batgirl. If that film proves to be a runaway hit, there’s no doubt that this one will be green lit in due course. We’re holding thumbs that it happens for all our sake.
