Warner Bros. has just announced the latest addition to the DC film universe: Batwoamn.

Not to be confused with Batgirl, Batwoman first appeared in Detective Comics #233 (1956). Real name Katherine Kane, she is an heiress who takes inspiration from Batman to start fighting crime in Gotham City. The character received a significant rejuvenation in 2006, when being Jewish and a lesbian were made part of her characterization.

“We’re really proud to be doing this,” said associate producer Filip Starr. “Batwoman is a hero that means so much to readers and bringing her to life will be a highly rewarding project.”

No castings have been made, but Starr insists that Yvonne Strahovski, who voiced the character in the animated film Batman: Bad Blood, “is a strong possibility.”

What’s more, the production will be designed with an R rating in mind, for featuring not only brutal violence, but also erotic sex scenes.

“After Blue is the Warmest Color and Carol, this is the next big step,” Starr said. “It’s time to go mainstream in a big way.”

Zack Snyder is “heavily interested” in directing the film according to Starr, but not confirmed as of yet.

Stay tuned for further updates.
