Dougray Scott To Star in The CW BATWOMAN Pilot

Deadline reports that Dougray Scott will play Batwoman's father opposite Ruby Rose in the CW's pilot.

Marcos Siega has also joined the project to direct and executive produce.

Batwoman marks the first gay lead character of a live-action superhero series. Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate Kane (Rose) soars onto the streets of Gotham as Batwoman, an out lesbian and highly trained street fighter primed to snuff out the failing city's criminal resurgence.

Scott will play Jacob Kane, a former military colonel with a chip on his shoulder for Batman, Jacob Kane now commands Gotham's private security firm The Crows, and has made it his mission to protect his city better than the Dark Knight ever could.

But it's only a matter of time before his unwavering disdain for vigilantes puts him at odds with Gotham's new caped crusader...who also happens to be his own daughter. Scott joins Rose and previously cast Rachel Skarsten.
