Batwoman’s titular hero is returning more confident than ever in season 3.
Thankfully, that’s no longer a question.
There will be more twists on Batman’s rogue’s gallery as the season progresses.

“Episode 3 [has] the Victor Fries influence.
That episode was my favorite.”
Introducing these new villains has affected the show’s tone as well.

“The tonal vibe that we leaned to is more of a horror, action-thriller tone.
That plays out in almost every episode,” Dries says.
With our show, she’s going up against human beings.

So how do you still make them feel formidable?
How do you still get the scares and the tension?
And so it almost ends up leaning itself towards more of a thriller."
That said,Batwomanisn’t shying away from larger-than-life villains.
“It’s so much fun!”
Leslie says of Ryan and Luke’s crime-fighting partnership.
“For Batwoman, having Batwing as her literal wingman has been good.
But Batwing isn’t Ryan’s only new partner.
There’s obviously a bigger picture, something bigger happening.
Our show doesn’t bring on a character for nothing.
But only time will tell.
Batwomanreturns Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
