That name "Ryan Wilder" cracks me up. Like they were struggling to come up with a name and had a poster of Ryan Reynolds as Van Wilder up on the wall. "How 'bout uhhhhh...Ryan...Wilder?"

This seems like a poorly thought out idea, which means it's perfectly in line for a corporate decision.
Why the heck would Luke ever let this complete stranger take over for Kate as Batwoman, especially if they're gonna ax her? If she has literally no connection to anyone on the cast, what is the plan?

Wow did not think they would full out go replacing the actual character of Batwoman for some random , they can try and put a whole different person in the suit but if it aint Kate Kane it aint Batwoman. I would have excused it if this was someone else from the comic who also held the mantle of Batwoman but uh can't find anyone other than Kate Kane even alternate versions are still Kate Kane. the only other one was Kathy Kane, Kate's aunt ... which they weren't going to use because it would be a bit god damned confusing to have no I'm Kathy not Kate... also I'm older <_< I can only assume the new character is to try and leave it open for Rose to come back... but making up a brand new main character that has no relation to anyone in the middle of an ongoing series without the titular character ever showing back up again seems... really dumb.

And as if Vince has even heard of Batwoman. The original Batwoman was around in the 1950's. So he's probably heard of her.

What are the odds it ends up being cancelled? Before the 2nd season starts? Very little. If the 2nd season plummets then that's when the question will be asked

If they wanted an out gay Batman stand in to replace Kate they could always just use Midnighter lol. If watch the SHIT out of a Midnighter and Apollo show. It'll never happen because it would need to be a Punisher-level hard R to get them right but that's always an idea.

Trying to think of other instances where they just flat out replaced the main character, and the only one coming to mind off the top of my head is when That 70s Show replaced Eric and Kelso with Randy. I doubt the writers could bungle things that badly, but it also wouldn’t shock me to see all of Kate Kane’s friends and allies instantly welcoming her into the fray with little resistance and going on about how she is definitely a worthy replacement for Kate.

Donna was moved as the main MC and you still had Fez, Jackie and Hyde from previous seasons and it was the last season of the show This is still new so it is going to seem weird

Plus as weird as it is, I feel like it's still easier for them to get a series about a hot lesbian greenlit than one featuring two gay male leads, especially for superhero fare.

I would not doubt that it gets cancelled after the second season because they are throwing out any and all invesment.
She has no connection to the Waynes , Luke
No connection to the crows since the whole purpose of this was the father , daughter feud
No connection to Alice...because ya know TWIN SISTERS!
I would personally would not bring this back now , I would instead greenlight Green Arrow and the Canaries and bring some of actors and actress's from Batwoman on over especially Alice's actress.

Is it possible there is somebody already established that this description fits? And the name is just a casting name to throw people off? That happens fairly often when casting shows that they don't want to spoil things. Fake name, incomplete description.

You mentioning other gay heroes just made me remember their is another gay superhero connected to Batwomen. One that is not only gay but is also a legacy hero (I know Kate isn't in the comics but in the show she's taken over from Batman). So why can't we just have Renee as The Question take over. Introduce her as Kate's ex who has been in Hub City for a few years since being kicked out of the Gotham police, who was returned to Gotham after hearing Kate has disappeared. Have The Question turn up fighting Gotham's crime in Batwomen's place and have Luke and co slowly figure out it's Renee, all while Renee deals with leaving up to the original Question's legacy and figuring out where Kate went.

This idea for the replacement is the stupidest idea I've heard this past week.
