The Batwoman costume had been designed by Academy Award-winning designer Colleen Atwood, who had previously designed the superhero costumes on Arrowverse television shows such as Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl.

Rose will make her debut as Batwoman in the third annual Arrowverse crossover on The CW which will air on December 9th, 2018. The three-night crossover entitled “Elseworlds” will include Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl. DC’s Legends of Tomorrow will be stepping out from the crossover this year.

Batwoman is a significant superhero in DC Comics in that she was a major female superhero in mainstream comics who identified as a lesbian.

There are also plans for a Batwoman series to be developed and air on The CW. Should a Batwoman series be successfully greenlit, it would be the fifth television series to be set in the Arrowverse.
