The CW has released a new preview for “Power”, the Season 2 finale of Batwoman. The episode is expected to feature an epic standoff involving the series’ ensemble, as Roman Sionis/Black Mask (Peter Outerbridge) causes chaos in Gotham City. While there’s really no telling exactly how that standoff will take shape, it does seem like it’ll involve Roman Sionis/Black Mask (Peter Outerbridge) using tools from previous Batman villains to turn the GCPD into supervillains. As the trailer revealed, this will lead to the comic-accurate debut of Menace, Russell Tavaroff’s (Jesse Hutch) villainous codename in the comics. Given the season-long arc between Tavaroff and Luke Fox (Camrus Johnson), who is set to suit up as his comic-accurate counterpart, Batwing, it will be interesting to see how that rivalry plays out onscreen.
“I’ve been looking forward to seeing Batwing since we decided to make Luke Fox a fundamental part of our Bat Team way back in the pilot development stages,” Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries said in a statement when the Batwing costume was first revealed. “I can speak for Cam when I say, So has he! But this character couldn’t come out of nowhere. We built this character from a deeply personal and complicated Luke story that we began setting up in season one, and I look forward to unfolding it over the course of season three.”

“Honestly, it’s hard to explain how much it means to me to wear the Batwing suit and officially play my first superhero,” Johnson added. “The main reason I wanted to be in Batwoman was for this opportunity – to give kids like me another black hero to look up to and relate to. It’s hard not to smile when I catch myself in the mirror with the bat symbol on my chest, and I’ll keep smiling through every fight scene, every awesome stunt, and every Gotham night where Batwing is finally in the field!”
