CW's BatWoman

[Deleted]

Out with the Arrow and in with the Bat

[Ryback on a Pole!]

After Titans and Doom Patrol, I have alot of confidence in DC when it comes to TV shows.

Titans was alot of fun and Doom Patrol is excellent. Probably my favorite superhero show.

I never watched Arrow, but that was apparently good too. So, I think this will be good.

[Mozenrath]

I'm optimistic.

Besides, Batwoman's comic figure isn't getting any cheaper and I'd like a new one to get made.

[Dub H]

Never was a fan of DC Live Series before.

But Doom Patrol is really interesting and the costume for Batwoman is really well made

She had the best episode on the Elseworlds crossover and pretty much stole all the thunder in a crossover with Flash and Green Arrow playing each other , black suit superman .


I have faith the show is gonna be great...and the fact that unlike Black Lighting it is cemented firmly in the Arrowverse and can freely interact with Flash , supergirl , possibly legends and all the other heroes.

My one big hope for the series is that they do not go all Supergirl with it....please stay away from Batmans rogues gallery for atleast the first 3 seasons....bring in Lady Shiva , bloom , court of owls.

Depends, I guess. I am fine with some Batman villains if it's not like, Joker, Riddler, that kind of thing. Black Mask would be fine, maybe some Professor Pyg. You just know that mask would be creepy in live action.

Oh yea they are great for the most part of doing really strange creepy things with much lesser villans Professor Pyg fits right in.

Also would love to see their take on calendar man.

And a big one I would love....Batwoman eventually discovers earth 2 and has a showdown with OwlMan.

And with her being set on the same earth as Flash and Arrow I can see one off metas and criminals from those shows getting their run in Gotham for episodes.

someone like Amunet Black who left Central City last season...could reasonably pop back up in Gotham to antagonize Batwoman for a bit.

They say we wont see anyone in the suit but damn does it look good though and if Titans is allowed to gawd damn have him than there is no reason he cannot eventuallu show up here.

And we got a long syponsis of the plot

“Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) never planned to be Gotham’s new vigilante. Three years after Batman mysteriously disappeared, Gotham is a city in despair. Without the Caped Crusader, the Gotham City Police Department was overrun and outgunned by criminal gangs. Enter Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott) and his military-grade Crows Private Security, which now protects the city with omnipresent firepower and militia. Years before, Jacob’s first wife and daughter were killed in the crossfire of Gotham crime. He sent his only surviving daughter, Kate Kane, away from Gotham for her safety. After a dishonorable discharge from military school and years of brutal survival training, Kate returns home when the Alice in Wonderland gang targets her father and his security firm, by kidnapping his best Crow officer Sophie Moore (Meagan Tandy).

“Although remarried to wealthy socialite Catherine Hamilton-Kane (Elizabeth Anweis), who bankrolls the Crows, Jacob is still struggling with the family he lost, while keeping Kate –– the daughter he still has –– at a distance. But Kate is a woman who’s done asking for permission. In order to help her family and her city, she’ll have to become the one thing her father loathes –– a dark knight vigilante. With the help of her compassionate stepsister, Mary (Nicole Kang), and the crafty Luke Fox (Camrus Johnson), the son of Wayne Enterprises’ tech guru Lucius Fox, Kate Kane continues the legacy of her missing cousin, Bruce Wayne, as Batwoman. Still holding a flame for her ex-girlfriend, Sophie, Kate uses everything in her power to combat the dark machinations of the psychotic Alice (Rachel Skarsten), who’s always somewhere slipping between sane and insane. Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate soars through the shadowed streets of Gotham as Batwoman. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, she must first overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.”

Suit looks good, though I'm a bigger fan of having the yellow in there somewhere for my tastes. Not that it matters for this show mind you but still lol. So excited about this show though, huge fan of her comics, especially in the Rebirth Detective Comic run and her post new 52 run (minus the part where DC chickened out on their marriage).

Trailer just dropped



Very Arrow like vibe which is not bad at all and looks great IMO.

Luke Fox is very inspired by Curtis from Arrow

Although that whole....I am not gonna let a man take credit for a womans work...ALL WHILE STEALING ALL OF BRUCE WAYNES STUFF TO MODIFY IT FOR YOURSELF....is not inspired writing to say the least.

[Deleted]

Alice in Wonderland gang.......?

Inverting the Mad Hatter schtick? Huh. Interesting.

Yeah, even as a feminist myself the DC CW people can be a bit heavy handed with stuff like that, Supergirl was bad about that early on. Loving the look of this show though. Hopefully will fill the hole that Arrow is going to leave in me after next season. I got a little emotional during that finale this season.

Yeah, one of her first big villains was Alice. Wondering if they're going to keep the twist the comics had about her. Not a huge fan of her look though, her comic look is so neat looking.

[Deleted]

Interested to see where we pick with her in story.

Like season 1 ends up being just her origin (there is a still of her in a proto Batsuit) and then we pick up with her post Crisis in season 2 in her own show.

Or they really go the Arrow route...we see her origins in flashbacks basically a 5yr plan so by season 5(if it makes it there) the past and present finally line up in the story.

[Friday Night SmackOwn]

I wonder if they’ll add other Bat Family characters into the mix as the series progresses.

Well with Lucius Fox's son in this there is a good possibility Bat-Wing will come eventually. Now that's a suit I want to see in live action. Maybe we'll get Spoiler and Cassandra Cain in this as well. What I'm saying is I want Detective Comic's team when Rebirth started.

Oh! I was not aware she was Alice. I've barely read any Batwoman comics over the years but I recognized this lady (as far back as Batwoman's 1st appearance IIRC) and thought that was her in the trailer. Figured they just fiddled with the Mad Hatter gang to keep it different/fresh..

Honestly, they could be combining the two ideas. Curious to see what her other rogues gallery is going to look like

The Arrowverse is REALLY good about filling out its casts with some of the more obscure heroes and villains. If not in Season 1, we'll start seeing them trickle in with later seasons.

Wonder if they'll bring back the Huntress for this show on that note. Her fate was kind of left up in the air S7 of Arrow but they never showed a body.

And yeah, the trailer was a bit heavy-handed with the messaging (and I consider myself a feminist) but if it's anything like Supergirl, it'll get toned down a lot by like the third or fourth episode and the main character's actions and personality lets the message speak for itself a lot more effectively.

[prettynami]

I wonder if I pick up watching this show when it comes out whether I will have to have much of a working knowledge of the other shows in order to follow it. I assume not.
