Rachel Skarsten Joins 'Batwoman' Cast at CW Upfronts 2019

Rachel Skarsten turns heads in her bright red suit while arriving for the 2019 CW Network Upfront held at New York City Center on Thursday (May 16) in New York.

Joined by star Ruby Rose, as well as Dougray Scott, Camrus Johnson, Meagan Tandy, Nicole Kang and Elizabeth Anweis, the cast met up to promote their new show, Batwoman, coming to the network this fall.

“Without getting too into it, I think it’s so relevant to now,” Ruby shared about the series hitting all the right notes. “We are telling such real stories, such grounded stories. We have such a beautiful, diverse cast. We have the relationships within the cast, or characters rather—and in real life—the arcs are so true and layered and difficult and tricky in some instances and beautiful in other instances. But they’re complicated and they’re real…”

She continues, “I think that’s one of the things that is really important to see, not just like a flawless perfect superhero—which doesn’t exist anyway—but I mean the idea of that.”

“There’s a lot in there that I think viewers can watch at any age group and find people to identify with and get solace out of that or inspiration or just feel like they’re not the only person that’s like that and that’s super important.”

Batwoman will air Sundays this fall on The CW.
