According to Deadline, the network is developing a Batwoman series that will follow the famous Bat-hero, who will be introduced in its latest big crossover event this December. This version of Batwoman happens to be an out lesbian “armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind.†The Vampire Diaries executive producer Caroline Dries is working on the series with super-producer Greg Berlanti.
