Batwomanis paying off a lot of seeds planted at the beginning of the season.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Did you know Reagan was goin to be Magpies sister when she was first introduced?
CAROLINE DRIES:No.
We got a note from the studio and they were like, “Really, what are the chances?
So it sounds like this came up organically in the writing process.
You’re also finally paying off Tommy Elliot’s introduction at the beginning of the season.
Why did it feel right to have him go full Hush now?
Hush was the biggest name on that list.
We wanted to use him early on.
We thought this was meshing perfectly with where were going.
What conversations have you had with Gabriel about his performance as he goes from Tommy to Hush?
He goes through a few changes.
His big thing in the comics is his obsession with Bruce Wayne, which we obviously hinted at.
So hes now really off his rocker when we meet him in 17.
So it brings out all of his crazy and impulsive instincts.
Mary [Nicole Kang] is also now a member of the Bat Team.
How does having her there change the dynamic?
Well, we wanted it to feel natural, you know, Marys baby steps onto the team.
I wanted it to be like it was with Kate becoming Batwoman.
How is Luke handling the fact that Kate lost his fathers journal?
Luke kind of feels like hes not in control of something that is so important to his familys legacy.
Its so much more than just a book.
Its so much more than just the recipes of all the Wayne Enterprises technology.
Is friction that can be overcome, or something that will continue to grow?
I think it’s going to be overcome.
The last episode teased that Julia [Christina Wolfe] is working for someone.
Is this a character that weve seen or heard of before?
Batwomanairs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on the CW.
