Batwoman (2019)

[Caivu]

IMO, it's because she seems to be the only one Kate fights, so Alice constantly escaping and walking over Kate just make the heroine look incompetent, and I just find her personally annoying. Kate going on a roadtrip with Alice and walking in and out of her evil lair out of costume and telling her to turn back to being Beth instead of beating her senseless doesn't help her case. It took about 10 episodes for Kate to finally arrest her...and she just waltzes right back out.

This is all kinda ignoring a lot of context.

Alice constantly escaping and walking over Kate just make the heroine look incompetent

I wouldn't say Kate looks incompetent. She rescued Sophie, broke herself out of her captivity, successfully raided Alice's base and captured her, and captured her again.

Kate going on a roadtrip with Alice

You know that wasn't for fun, right? It was Alice's demand in exchange for information.

walking in and out of her evil lair out of costume and telling her to turn back to being Beth instead of beating her senseless

This was still when Kate believed Alice was redeemable. That Beth was salvageable. That's ultimately what she was trying to do.
