Batwoman (2019)
A casting breakdown for the series was released today, so that seems like a good reason to make a standalone thread for the show.

That sounds like almost everyone I'd expect to see. "Sloane" could even be Sophie Moore, even though Renee's the more obvious candidate.
The pilot is rumored to film in April. I don't know how that compares to the other shows, but if they start in late April, like the 28th, they could potentially film at West Point itself, as the final day of classes is May 10th. Or even during Spring Break if they bump up that schedule to mid-March. I wonder...
-
I doubt Renee Montoya will appear on the show. Gotham had her in the first season of the show before she disappeared. She's gonna be in the Birds of Prey movie so she'll be off limits to TV.
-
Yeah, the description sounds closer to Sophie. And if Sloane is Renee, that throws off the naming convention for the other fake names (same first letters).
-
I was hoping JULIA PENNYWORTH would be in the supporting cast.
-
Is it confirmed that it's coming in 2019?

Pretty much. Nothing points to it not.

I have a feeling that her missing cousin will be a big part of season 1's first arc. Also makes me wonder, with the confirmations of Batwing, Bette, Kate's dad, and (insert love interest here that may be Renee Montoya or not), if Kate will come into contact with other members of the (extended) Bat family and what not. This might actually be a good series for Cass or Steph to enter into mainstream alongside Kate.

I can see the more obscure batfamily members appearing on the show. I bet the DC streaming service universe got dibs on the Robins. Duke Thomas, Nobody and Bluebird could make for a nice stable of heroes if the show goes that route.
If shows takes place in Earth 38 then Maggie Sawyer would make for a decent replacement for Montoya.

Kind of surprised that it looks like they're already apparently jumping into the Colony with Jacob, although the "Crows" reminds me of the Court of Owls.
I'm guessing Luke will be the Cisco-type of the show, being Batwoman's main techie supporting character who eventually becomes a Superhero on his own.
I don't think "Sloane" is Renee if only because they seem to be leaning towards the character being bisexual, since she has a husband but was once in love with Kate, unless it was a marriage she didn't really want. But I don't really see them putting Montoya in that situation to begin with.
"Meredith" sounds like Bette, but considering the ethnicity they're going for it sounds like she might not be related to Kate here.
"Charlotte" is set up to be Bette's mom but she also seems to be Jacob's wife with the whole "paramilitary" thing so...maybe Bette is Kate's step-sister...?

I kind of wonder how that would happen, unless Bruce willed the company to her. I wonder if that means Lucius is indisposed or he thought Kate needed it?
I wonder if the Wayne/Kane rivalry will still be a thing on this show?

I wonder if Batgirl is off-limits? Although if they use Bette, then they basically have the original Bat-Girl ;).

If DC is still moving forward with her movie she likely is. If she's free I would expect her to show up in Titans. She was suppose to be on the show as Oracle when it was being developed for TNN.

so who is the rogues' gallery for Batwoman?

[QUOTE=Hypestyle;4068909]so who is the rogues' gallery for Batwoman?[/QUOTE]
For the show, just Alice right now.
In general, [URL="https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Characters/Batwoman"]this page[/URL] includes most of her villains.
[QUOTE=Frontier;4068217]Kind of surprised that it looks like they're already apparently jumping into the Colony with Jacob, although the "Crows" reminds me of the Court of Owls.[/QUOTE]
The name Crows comes from The Murder of Crows, which is what the men who trained Kate called themselves. Jacob's old military friends.

I haven't been keeping up with the current books but Kate's dad is a villain now? Wtf

More anti-hero than straight-up villain. He's only a villain because he's against Batman. And one of his men went rogue.

Well, more like he's against Bruce's no-kill policy. But the highly trained group of heroes working as a team to beat crime? Jacob is all on board for that.

Thought they were done with that.

Done with what? Embargoing characters? As long as Warner Bros are in charge, they will always pull characters off of TV if they put them in movies because they think people are stupid.

One way or another I think the Colony will end up being antagonistic force that Batwoman has to go up against, and lead to a lot of drama with Jacob.
We'll probably still see Jacob try and get Kate to join them but with the added conflict of Kate feeling like she needs to uphold Batman's legacy on-top of that.

Glad to see this finally happening but why change the names?

To avoid spoilers (even though it's very obvious who almost all these characters are).

I assumed they were done with that when they put Superman on the Supergirl show.

Right? I don't like the name changes

[QUOTE=The Shape;4069779]I assumed they were done with that when they put Superman on the Supergirl show.[/QUOTE]
And the Flash in the Justice League movie, when they had a totally different Flash on the WB. Or multiple Bruce Waynes and Alfreds and Commisioner Gordons, thanks to Dawn of Justice and Gotham.
If there's a such a policy, they are doing a crap job of applying it consistently...

[QUOTE=The Shape;4069779]I assumed they were done with that when they put Superman on the Supergirl show.[/QUOTE]
Yes. Just because that is how it was in the past doesn't mean that is how it will be in the future.

First time in action! :D

I didn't like her voice though, I don't know, it sounded off, but maybe it'll grow on me. :p

I would like to see Vic Sage's The Question in honor of Steve Ditko. Plus, who wouldn't want to see The Question's way of entering a building? ;)
If most of the 'famous' Bat-Family members cannot not be shown, how about Ace, the Bat-Dog?
Didn't Ragman and Batwoman work together in the comic books? If the show is set in Earth-1, then Ragman can make an appearance.

Speaking of [I]spoilers[/I], it wouldn't surprise me if Stephanie Brown shows up here at some point.

That would be cool. So long as its bubbly, positive thinking Stephanie Brown, and not an angsty, angry person that happens to have the same name. It took 3 seasons for me to get used to Oliver on Arrow being Batman-lite.

Ick, the less Ragman the better. I mean I like the actor and all, but he is way OP for anything on these shows. I was glad Arrow dropped him, sucks he will be back for an episode, but rag-less if we are lucky.
-
I was expecting the worst for this show, a sort of Gotham.2 or the like, but in just one episode of a crossover I've become convinced this'll be great. Can't wait! :)

What drove me crazy about Ragman is that he would through in a Yiddish or Hebrew word on occasion, and on every occasion he would pronounce it wrong.
(Other than that I had no problem with him.)

The Arrowverse depiction of Gotham would been good if it was anything like the Gotham TV show. I'm setting my expectations to low if that's the Gotham we get for Kate's show.

Judging by this poll it seems most people, so far, have a positive response to Batwoman's debut.

Yep, that holds to the general consensus I've seen elsewhere.
-
I'd probably watch a Batwoman show. But I won't be heart broken if she doesn't get her own show.
-
Watched the three part crossover last night and it really was kind of a letdown. I enjoyed last year's crossover much, MUCH better.
That being said, Kate's small appearance was awesome. The actress captured Kate's personality and swagger perfectly. I loved seeing her drop down on top of the car and using her gadgets. Very cool!
