Look out, Gotham, because Batwing is about to arrive.
For almost two seasons of Batwoman, Luke Fox has been the loyal tech guy to Kate Kane and Ryan Wilder. But, things are about to take another turn. The Bat Team is about to get a new member, Batwing. In addition, we reported a while ago that Camrus Johnson had been spotted around the Batwoman set in costume. Finally, we have a good look at the suit, and it is AMAZING! What’s amazing is that Luke’s new hero role is inspired by his dad’s murder.
Our feature picture is the suit, while the image below is of Camrus (as Luke Fox) with the helmet/cowl in his hands:
We could not be more excited to see Camrus (as Luke) suit up. According to the Batwoman Season 2 page on the Arrowverse, Luke will become Batwing in what we believe to be the Season 2 finale, entitled ‘Power’. Now, that is only a few weeks away, and it will be a favourite for sure!
This will be the first time Batwing has appeared in a live-action format. However, the character has appeared in animation before, as evident in the animated film Batman: Bad Blood. The Luke Fox iteration is the second version, debuting in DC Comics in June 2013 in ‘Batwing #19’. The first was David Zavimbe, whose first appearance in the comics was in May 2011 in Batman Incorporated #5.
What inspires Luke to become Batwing is anyone’s guess at the moment, but we think it might have to do with his near-death experience after he was shot by a corrupt Crows agent, Russell Tavaroff. In his coma, he sees his late father, Lucius, and Bruce Wayne (who is not dead), who tells him he has a choice to make.
We have so many questions that we won’t ask right now. We’ll have to wait until the debut of Luke’s Batwing to ask them.
