When Batwoman had its presentation at San Diego Comic-Con, fans heard as the CW Series announced they would tap into the origin story of major Batman villain, Tommy Elliot, aka Hush.
Ahead of the series debut on October 6, we have just been given the name of the actor that will portray Elliot.
According to TV Line, Gabriel Mann will play Tommy Elliot.
The character will debut in Batwoman’s third episode and is described as “a childhood friend of Kate’s AWOL cousin, Bruce Wayne, who grew up to become a real estate mogul boasting easy charm and a friendly smile.”
It’s not clear exactly how Batwoman’s take on Tommy Elliot will fit into the series nor is it clear exactly how he becomes the villain Hush — it was noted at San Diego Comic-Con that his origin story will develop over the course of the show’s first season.
In addition to the announcement of Mann’s casting as Tommy Elliot, The CW also announced that Rachel Matthews will be guest-starring as Magpie in Batwoman’s fourth episode. Like with Tommy Elliot, it’s unclear exactly how Magpie will fit into the story with the series expected to bring new villains into the Arrowverse as well as establish Batwoman in a new, unique way.
Batwoman will premiere Sunday, October 6th at 8/7c on The CW.
