Batwoman's not the only creature of the night roaming the streets of Gotham City, as a synopsis for the upcoming episode "Drink Me" welcomes the vile vampire Nocturna, who will be played by The Vampire Diaries veteran Kayla Ewell and was spotted in the promo for the midseason premiere.

According to the synopsis, while Kate's gay bar The Hold Up has a spectacular opening, a new villain arrives in Gotham, ready to sink her teeth into the city. Adding further problems is Sophie Moore asking Batwoman to keep her distance, knowing what interacting with the vigilante could mean for her career. However, the synopsis makes it clear Sophie doesn't enjoy doing it.
