Kate Kane isn't about to let a man take credit for a woman's work.
The CW has released a first look trailer for Batwoman, their upcoming series based on the DC Comics superhero, introducing Batwoman's arch-enemy Alice, Jacob Kane and Luke Fox.
Apparently set before last fall's "Elseworlds" crossover event, the two-minute, 55-second trailer opens in Gotham City at night, as we see a Crows Security vehicle and hear the voice of the security firm's commander, Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott). "Crows represent order," he says to his team, "security, safety."
We then see Catherine Hamilton-Kane (Elizabeth Anweis), Kate's stepmother, delivering a speech at the Gotham Art Museum as the Bat Signal shines in the night sky. "Batman gave up on us," she remarks as her daughter Mary Hamilton (Nicole Kang) records video on her phone. "The Bat's not coming back."
We get a decent look at the Wayne Enterprises building, followed by Jacob, who is overseeing the event's security, speaking into his hand radio. "Something's up. Eyes everywhere," he tells his team.
On a rooftop, one Crows Security guard, Sophie Moore (Meagan Tandy), catches sight of a man in a white rabbit mask running away and follows after him.
The pilot episode's big bad supervillain, Alice (Rachel Skarsten), cleans an ornate dagger with her handkerchief then addresses the crowd. "'Hello', said Alice. Shall we believe the Crows will protect us?"
Sophie gets into a fight with the man in the white rabbit mask, as Jacob radios, "Agent Moore, do you copy? Do you copy?"
Mary calls Kate Kane (Ruby Rose), telling her. "Sophie's missing. I thought you should know."
Kate rides a motorcycle into Gotham, reuniting with her father. "We're gonna find her," he tells Kate.
"Then let me help," she replies.
"Bad idea."
Later, Kate somehow obtains some video footage of the kidnapping, with her father asking her, "What happened to staying out of it?"
In a separate scene, Kate looks at a picture of Sophie as she receives a Crows Security certificate of achievement from Jacob.
We flashback to Kate and Sophie in a military academy, where the two fall in love despite regulations. "Is there something you'd like to report to your squad?" their commander asks.
Kate does some investigating on her own and gets attacked by the White Rabbit. "You ran in without proper backup," her father tells her in a separate scene.
"I do not want her getting in the way," Alice tells one of her henchmen as a bound and gagged Sophie is unloaded from a van.
We see Kate's impressive fighting skills, until she gets captured and brought before Alice. "Curiouser and curiouser," says Alice as she studies Kate, who is hanging by her jacket from a hook.
"What do you want?" asks Kate.
"I need you to send your father a message," Alice remarks as she takes out a cricket bat and smashes Kate upside her head with it.
In a different scene, Jacob tells Kate, "You're all I have left, Kate, and I don't want to lose you too."
Kate goes to Wayne Enterprises and busts into Bruce Wayne's office, which has been vacant for some time. Luke Fox (Camrus Johnson), son of Lucius Fox, points a gun at her. "Wayne Security," he says as she raises her hands. "You owe my boss a new door."
"Your boss is my cousin," Kate tells him.
Kate finds a secret door by turning a display of Martha Wayne's pearl necklace. "You...You don't want to go anywhere near that," Luke tells her as she heads towards an elevator. "You are seriously not supposed to know what's down there."
"So I have this thing with rules," she replies, lowering herself down into the Batcave. We see that the Batcave has come under considerable neglect as a colony of flying bats reveals the Batman costume.
"I need you to fix his suit," Kate tells Luke.
"The suit is literal perfection," he replies.
"It will be," Kate says with determination, "when it fits a woman."
We go to the rooftop of a building under construction, with Alice's henchmen being taking out one by one by ropes before Kate steps into view as Batwoman. At this point, however, she doesn't have her long red wig or her traditional red-and-black uniform. Alice throws a dagger at her.
Cutting back to the scene with Kate and Jacob, Jacob tells her, "You're a female Bruce Wayne."
Kate smiles at the thought. "Awesome, hilarious, handsome."
We then see a glimpse of Batwoman alongside Sophie as she removes Sophie's gag and touches her finger to Sophie's lips.
Batwoman stands at the edge of the rooftop as a young girl tells out, "Look! It's Batman!"
"They think I'm him," Kate tells Luke in the final scene. "I'm not about to let a man take credit for a woman's work."
