Batwing gets the Bat-signal spotlight in DC FanDome’s Batwoman S3 first looks

By James Comtois

Now that the third season of Batwoman is up, up, and away (yes, we know that’s the wrong catchphrase; and no, we don’t feel the least bit bad about it), actor Camrus Johnson shined a Bat-signal-sized spotlight on Batwing, the latest incarnation of his character Luke Fox, at DC FanDome on Saturday. 

In a featurette, Johnson walks fans through the character’s history from the comics to the small screen, reminding people that “Luke may not have superpowers, but he [is] a skilled fighter.” He also points out some of the changes between the character from the comics and from the series.

And oh, yeah: don’t call him a sidekick.

The Batwoman panel also treated fans to a fun and funky retro trailer for the show’s upcoming third season, showing Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie) and sometimes psycho-villain Alice (Rachel Skarsten) teaming up to clean up Gotham. 

In the “Batwoman & Alice,” trailer, Ryan and Alice find themselves unlikely partners in crime. But as our hero says: “If crazy stuff’s going down, may as well get a crazy lady’s take on it.” Although, as Nicole Kang’s Mary Hamilton points out: “We don’t really use the c-word anymore.” Jeez, people! She means the word crazy

Check out the ‘70s-tastic “totally bat-chick crazy” trailer below: 

Leslie and Skarsten also gave fans a first look at an upcoming scene from the current season, where Alice helps Ryan think like a killer. So it looks like Alice and Batwoman can work together after all.

Batwoman airs Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/PT on The CW.
