The latest episode of the CW’s Gotham City-set Arrowverse show
Batwoman introduced a major and beloved character from Batman comics in the form of Stephanie Brown (played by Morgan Kohan), otherwise known as the superhero called Spoiler. In Batwoman, Stephanie Brown hasn’t yet assumed her superhero identity, but in the comics she’s played an important role, with a particularly close connection to Batman, Robin, and Batgirl.
Who is Batwoman’s Stephanie Brown in the comics?
As established in Batwoman Season 2 Episode 13 ‘I’ll Give You A Clue,’ Stephanie Brown is the daughter of Arthur Brown, the villain known as Cluemaster — a third-rate Batman villain who is basically a rip-off of The Riddler, although he rose to prominence in the “New 52” series Batman Eternal. Stephanie herself is a relatively new Batman character, having been introduced in 1992. Her Spoiler persona is usually created as a means to stop her father, after which she continued crimefighting.
