Kate Kane is back! After initially deciding to hire Javicia Leslie as brand-new heroine Ryan Wilder following Ruby Rose’s exit, Batwoman is bringing the original Crimson Crusader back into the fold, except she’s now played by former Krypton star Wallis Day. Day made her debut in the role in this Sunday’s season 2, episode 12, “Initiate Self-Destruct”, and Arrowverse fans are already loving what we’ve seen of the recast Kate.
Having been brainwashed by Enigma, Kate is being used as a henchwoman by Roman Sionis AKA Black Mask, who’s convinced her that she’s really his (actually dead) daughter, Circe. Kate’s face, reconstructed after her plane crash, was hidden throughout the episode by a mask, as she was tasked with hunting down Ryan’s Batwoman and Alice. We’ve yet to really see Day properly play Kate, then, but this episode was enough to get fans hyped.
“My name is Kate Kane.”

When “Circe” tracks Batwoman and Alice down to the Gotham docks, the trio gets into a thrilling three-way fight. Fans are going crazy for the sequence, calling it the best action scene the show has ever had.
Wallis Day kicks ASS as this new version of Kate… So glad they cast her. Loved her in Krypton, love her now.
This isn’t a knock on Ruby Rose, but I don’t remember Kate/Batwoman being this badass in action sequences last season. #Batwoman pic.twitter.com/EzAJXpFZsd

It was Arrow-level good.
That Ryan/Kate/Alice fight was fantastic, I just wish it was a little longer. This is the action I was wanting from the beginning, Arrow level good. #Batwoman

“One of the most crazy and badass sequences I’ve ever seen on television.”

Eventually, Kate got the best of Alice, resulting in the two sisters reuniting. And fans got emotional.

Though given that Kate is brainwashed and Alice doesn’t know her sister’s alive, it wasn’t exactly the family reunion we were expecting.
The Alice and Kate but not quite reunion we’ve been waiting for #Batwoman pic.twitter.com/1yUcULJcHR

Day’s appointment as Kate has been a long time coming. She was announced to have landed the gig back in March, but the actress has since revealed that she was initially cast last summer before the Batwoman team decided to go with a new heroine instead. Leslie will continue to serve as the show’s lead, but fans can’t wait to see how this Evil Kate arc will play out and what it means for Day’s role on the series going forward.
Batwoman airs new episodes Sundays on The CW.
