The Scarlet Knight[edit source]

Batwoman 2.0[edit source]
In late 2020, Kate Kane was on board the Wayne Enterprises Jet and was supposedly killed during its crash. However, the suit landed on a beach and was stolen by Ryan Wilder, who utilized the suit and gadgets against False Face Society before being found by the Bat-Team. Eventually, the Bat-Team allowed her to keep the suit and mantle until Kate returns.[3]
Rogue Batwoman[edit source]
When Kate Kane returned with her mind being altered to believe herself as Circe Sionis, she stole Ryan's suit and modified it with her own protective gear. She then wore a Skull Mask and fought alongside the False Face Society before being restored to her true self. She later decided to let Ryan continue to be Batwoman as she leaves to search for Bruce Wayne.[4]
