As The CW’s Batwoman fleshed-out its core cast over the past several months, DC fans have been getting hugely excited about seeing Ruby Rose’s titular heroine butting heads against Rachel Skarsten’s Alice. But away from Batwoman’s most infamous of rogues – seriously the crazed Alice is Kate Kate’s own personal version of The Joker – we now have word that Kate will be butting heads with one of the Dark Knight’s most clinical foes.

San Diego Comic-Con saw executive producers Caroline Dries and Sarah Schechter reveal that the impending Batwoman series will see Tommy Elliot slowly descend into madness as he eventually takes on the moniker of Hush.

In the comics, this particular villain was introduced in Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee’s 2003 12-part Hush story – and was instantly made to feel like a big deal as he outsmarted Batman at every turn, while manipulating each of the Caped Crusader’s other villains as if they were chess pieces.

A doctor who was at one-time Bruce Wayne’s BFF, Tommy Elliot would evolve into the calculating Hush as Batwoman’s debut season plays out.

For those keeping tabs, Batwoman will premiere on October 6th.
