10 Reasons Rocksteady's Next Arkham Game Should Be Batwoman
7. The Character Is On An Upward Trajectory
The CW
Despite only being introduced around a decade or so ago, Kate Kane is a character on the rise. Only Miles Morales and Spider-Gwen could claim to have a more meteoric rise on the cards, but Kate in particular is on the cusp of something special.
Later this year, TheCW will premiere their own Batwoman TV show featuring Ruby Rose in the title role. It looks really good, and one would hope that it would serve as a springboard for further adventures in live action, animation, and in video games.
Bizarrely, Kate Kane is without her own comics series at the moment. That has to change when the series premieres, especially given just how much potential she possesses.
Either way, it's clear that Rocksteady would do well to capitalise on a now resurgent interest in the character. The show is just the beginning.
WhatCulture's very own resident movie guy, Ewan has been working in the content creation biz for over 10 years now, having started as a freelance contributor to WhatCulture Gaming all the way back in 2015. After graduating with a First-Class Honours in History from Northumbria University in 2017 (where he won a prize for a totally killer dissertation on the Watergate years), Ewan took on the role of Comics Editor at WhatCulture and quickly developed WhatCulture Comics into one of the biggest superhero-focused channels on YouTube. He followed this with a brief hiatus at Screen Rant in 2021, where he worked across the Gaming and Film sections as a writer and editor, before returning to WhatCulture as a Senior Content Producer / Presenter in 2023. He started his own podcast, We Love Dad Movies, in 2022, and has contributed several written pieces to the Eisner-nominated comics website Shelfdust as well.
In his current role, Ewan incorporates his love of cinema, comic books, and history into written pieces and video essays for WhatCulture's Film & TV channel, as well as WhatCulture Gaming and WhatCulture Horror, with a particular focus on nineties-era Dad Movies, old school Westerns, and Golden Age Hollywood Noir. John Carpenter is his fave, and he thinks Batman Beyond should never have been cancelled. If that's your vibe, you'll probably like his stuff.
