Ruby Rose is putting on the Batsuit in the new trailer for the CW's upcoming Batwoman series.

In the trailer, we see a Gotham where Batman himself is absent. Rose, as Kate Kane, finds her way into the Batcave and laments that no one is afraid anymore. 

Looking at the Batsuit, another character tells her: "The suit is literal perfection." 

Says Rose, "It will be when it fits a woman." 

Batwoman is coming to the CW.

CW

Batwoman made her debut in an Arrowverse crossover last year.

The Batwoman series air on Sundays this fall. The CW has described the main character as "an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city's criminal resurgence." 

In an interview with E! News, Rose described the show like this: "There's a lot of human elements that are just really beautiful. Like, I've kicked some butt before, but this is like kicking butt with purpose, which I'm a big fan of," she said.
