BATWOMAN (The CW) - Victoria Cartagena has joined the cast of the show's third season as DC Comics hero Renee Montoya, "a former GCPD officer who left the force when she could no longer stomach the corruption inside the department. She now runs the "freaks division," which hasn't seen a lot of action... until now.
