The CW has revealed the official synopsis for Batwoman's Season 2 premiere, which teases a "clash of imposters" as the new Batwoman, Ryan Wilder, is pitted against a certain someone currently going by the name "Bruce Wayne."
Released ahead of Batwoman Season 2's first episode -- titled "What Happened to Kate Kane?" -- the synopsis introduces fans to Ryan Wilder, a homeless woman who stumbles upon (and subsequently begins using) Kate Kane's Batsuit. Ryan will have to contend with a new gang in the form of the False Face Society, as well as the return of "Bruce."
Per the full synopsis for "What Happened to Kate Kane?,"
As friends and family hold on to hope that Kate may still be found, a homeless 25-year-old named Ryan Wilder stumbles upon Kate’s Batsuit. Focused on no longer being a victim, Ryan takes the suit to use as armor and goes rogue in the streets of Gotham, taking out various members of a new gang called the False Face Society.
Meanwhile, both Jacob Kane and Luke Fox launch searches for Kate, Mary Hamilton grapples with losing yet another family member, Sophie Moore struggles with things left unsaid to her first love, and Alice is furious that someone got to Kate before she could exact her revenge.
At the same time, “Bruce Wayne” (played by guest star Warren Christie) returns under the pretense of searching for Kate, but the truth is he wants his suit back and it becomes the clash of impostors as “Batwoman” and “Bruce” square off in the action-packed season premiere.
The episode summary was released online just days after The CW dropped a new poster for Season 2. The network also recently shared photos from the first episode of Season 2. Among the images, was one of Tommy Elliot, aka Hush, masquerading as Bruce Wayne. Hush was introduced in Batwoman Season 1, which seemingly introduced the Arrowverse's Bruce Wayne in its final episode.
Javicia Leslie was announced as the new Batwoman, Ryan Wilder, in August, and will replace Ruby Rose's Kate Kane, who starred in the first season. As previously reported, Rose decided to exit the series following its first seaon. According to an official character description released earlier this year, Ryan is "nothing like Kate Kane," and spent years living on the streets and working as a drug-runner in Gotham City prior to stumbling upon Kate's batsuit.
Batwoman stars Javicia Leslie, Rachel Skarsten, Meagan Tandy, Camrus Johnson, Dougray Scott and Nicole Kang. Season 2 premieres on Sunday, Jan. 17 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
