Lead characters
Kate Kane / Batwoman
Kate Kane (portrayed by Ruby Rose; main: season 1 and[1][2] Wallis Day; recurring: season 2),[3] Gracyn Shinyei as a child) is an out lesbian and the cousin of Bruce Wayne who, armed with a fierce passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, dedicates herself to defending Gotham City in Batman's absence as Batwoman.
In season two, the airplane that Kate is coming in from National City crashes and she is presumed dead. It is then discovered that Kate is still alive. The False Face Society ambushed her on her plane, burning her face while trying to abduct her. Enigma makes Kate think she is Roman Sionis' daughter Circe while giving her a mask. Circe confronts Batwoman and Alice at a boat following Ocean and Angelique's escape and overpowers them, though Batwoman leaves Alice for Circe. She brings Alice to Black Mask who decides not to kill her. He then orders Circe to take Alice downstairs to be tortured. Alice manages to save herself only by offering to craft a new face for Circe.
After learning that she is Circe, Jacob and Alice use some items to cause Kate to remember some events prior to Tatiana and the False Face Society attacking her. Ryan Wilder finds her and brings her to Wayne Tower. Mary had to sedate her when Kate experiences a mental battle between her younger self and Circe. Upon pulling off a trick with Sophie, Kate as Circe confronts Black Mask, wanting to know why she has Kate's memories. Circe fools Luke, Sophie, and Mary by having them think that Kate is in control so that she can access the other parts of the Batcave. After a fight with Ryan, Circe makes off with the villain items and gives them to Black Mask before ripping apart the Batwoman suit. During a showdown at a bridge, Ryan and Alice use the vapors of the Snakebite on Circe, purging the Alice persona from her. After giving Ryan her blessing to continue as Batwoman, Kate leaves Gotham City.
Ryan Wilder / Batwoman
Ryan Wilder (portrayed by Javicia Leslie; seasons 2–3; Ava Augustin as a child) is Kate Kane's successor as Batwoman, who was nicknamed "Batwoman 2.0" by Vesper Fairchild.[4] She is a highly skilled yet undisciplined fighter who spent 18 months in prison after two Crows operatives caught her with the drugs that Angelique Martin had in her possession. While her parole officer Susan Stevens expects her to maintain the conditions of her parole, Ryan was living out of her van with her plant and becomes the new Batwoman after finding the Batsuit in the wreckage of an airplane that Kate was coming in from National City. Ryan later had a final duel with Circe with Alice's help which led to Ryan using the vapors from the Snakebite to purge the Circe persona from Kate and even resuscitating her after Alice pulled Kate from the river. Thanks to Susan, Ryan is released from parole and receives Kate's blessing to continue as Batwoman.
In the third season, Ryan is blackmailed by former GCPD detective Renee Montoya to find the missing Batman villain items that fell into the river, while also learning that her birth mother is successful businesswoman Jada Jet, who initially rejects her in favor of her son, Marquis, though Marquis shows an interest in working with Ryan to bring the family closer. As Ryan recovers Batman's trophies, she later discovers that Marquis is suffering from psychopathic tendencies due to brain damage inflicted on him by the Joker as a child with his joy buzzer. Jada later confides to Ryan that Marquis killed his own father as a joke, which she covered up, and actually had Ryan given away to protect her from Marquis, only learning later that the midwife she had paid to cover it up actually abandoned Ryan beside a shop and kept the two million dollars meant to fund her education for himself. Ryan later finds out that the joy buzzer is the only thing that can restore Marquis's sanity, and that Montoya is actually holding it in her possession in exchange for Ryan freeing Poison Ivy from underneath Gotham, where Batman had previously buried her to stop her from exterminating Gotham's population. As Marquis takes over Wayne Enterprises, Ryan reluctantly helps free Ivy and acquires the joy buzzer, attracting the attention of Alice, who wants to use it to restore her own sanity as well. Ryan manages to defeat Ivy and strip her of her powers with help from Mary and Montoya when she decides to continue her plans to destroy Gotham, and the mayor orders both Montoya and Ivy to leave Gotham. As Marquis loses more of his sanity, he plans to unleash bombs of Joker's toxic gas all over Gotham, but he is foiled when Ryan defeats him and uses the joy buzzer on him with help from Alice, who decides to leave Gotham to seek rehabilitation elsewhere. Ryan later starts a relationship with Sophie Moore and mends her relationships with both Jada and Marquis, unaware that the chemicals released from the Joker gas canisters during the blimp crash have created a radioactive creature.

After getting away, Mary drives off with Alice to another location, the pair becoming lovers.
