Victoria Cartagena has joined the cast of The CW’s "Batwoman" as Renee Montoya — the same DC Comics character she played on Fox’s "Gotham".

(Though to be clear, this Renee Montoya is not actually the same TV character, since it was never suggested that the Fox series is any way a part of The CW’s Arrowverse.)




"Batwoman‘s" Renee Montoya is a former Gotham police officer who ditched the force because she could no longer stand the rampant corruption within the organization. Branching out on her own, she now runs the “freaks division” from the basement of the mayor’s office, which is starting to see some real action.

“Righteous and pragmatic, and LGBTQ+, she’s a woman with a very personal (and mysterious) mission to help clean the streets of Gotham in the right way, by whatever means necessary,” per the official description.




“I guess Renee Montoya and I have some unfinished business,” the actress shared on Twitter. “So very excited to join this new group of talented artists, writers and crew who are doing their thing over here! They have welcomed me wholeheartedly!”
