The news today just keep coming! We're just days away from the premiere of season 2, and if you already thought things were going to be action-packed, we have more exciting news. The list of villains that will be coming to Batwoman's second season keeps growing, now with Black Mask making his debut this season. Fans might remember him from the Birds of Prey movie in early 2020, and some comics fans might have already surmised that he'd be appearing, considering the season synopsis mentioned the False Face Society, known to be Black Mask's gang. While we don't know who will be playing him, Caroline Dries explained to Entertainment Weekly as to how they'll be involving him and the False Face Society to Ryan and her history:

While Ryan never used drugs, she was in a relationship where somebody was using drugs and it's ultimately what got Ryan put away in jail. So, it's this idea that Ryan is this innocent woman and if she were white, per se, she might not have had the same punishment [that] she, as an innocent Black woman, had to go through. That's a huge piece of her backstory, so that's something we're exploring this year. Batwoman has this particular vendetta against the False Face Society because the idea of drugs permeating the city and nobody taking any responsibility for it strikes at her core.

The season's other big bad, Safiyah, has long been known that she'd be appearing eventually. Last season we had heard whispers, and now Entertainment Weekly has released the first look at how Shivaani Ghai is bringing the queen of Coryana to life. Check it out below:
