'Batwoman' Premiere Synopsis Reveals How Ryan Wilder Gets Kate Kane's Batsuit

The second season of Batwoman is just over two weeks away!

Ahead of the premiere, the official episode synopsis has been revealed and gives insight to how Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie) becomes Batwoman.

In “What Happened To Kate Kane?,” Kate’s 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 (Dougray Scott) and Luke Fox (Camrus Johnson) launch searches for Kate, Mary Hamilton (Nicole Kang) grapples with losing yet another family member, Sophie Moore (Meagan Tandy) struggles with things left unsaid to her first love, and Alice (Rachel Skarsten) is furious that someone got to Kate before she could exact her revenge. 

At the same time, “Bruce Wayne” (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 imposters as “Batwoman” and “Bruce” square off in the action-packed season premiere.

Tune in to season two of Batwoman on Sunday, January 17th at 8pm ET/PT on The CW!
