WARNING: The following contains spoilers for Batwoman Season 2, Episode 17, “Kane, Kate,” which aired Sunday on The CW.
Luke Fox suits up as Batwing in the promo for Batwoman‘s Season 2 finale, “Power.”
“I am going to have back-up,” says a cheerful Ryan as Luke dons his Bat-suit for the first time. Meanwhile, Black Mask injects Russell Tavaroff with Bane’s venom, completing his journey to becoming his DC comic book super-villain counterpart, Menace.
Batwoman Season 2’s penultimate episode, “Kane, Kate,” set the stage for the season finale by revealing Kate/Circe decided to continue working with Black Mask, even after learning he kidnapped and brainwashed her into believing she is his daughter. The “Power” promo teases Alice attempting to save her sister, leading to a violent showdown with the False Face Society’s boss.
As for Luke, his evolution into Batwing comes on the heels of his near-death after Tavaroff shot him in the chest. While he was unconscious, Luke imagined seeing his father Lucius alive and well in Wayne Tower. According to Arrowverse costume designer Maya Mani, Luke’s Bat-suit is a reflection of not only his enduring love for his father, but also his desire to uphold his family’s crime-fighting legacy.
“I wanted the Batwing suit to represent the bond between father and son, to show the love and respect that Lucius Fox had for his son, Luke,” said Mani, commenting on the first-look photos of Luke as Batwing. She also teased the costume’s various bell and whistles, describing it as “a bit fantastical and based on the whimsy of a young boy’s dream — complete with rocket boosters and hidden bits that pop out!”
The official synopsis for “Power” reads,
In the Batwoman season finale, Ryan Wilder questions her place as the city’s hero as she, Luke Fox, Mary Hamilton and Sophie Moore must join forces when Black Mask instigates chaos in the Gotham streets.
