    That's because she's not the "villain" of the show - she's another character who's going through her own journey at this point. (for awhile I thought she was instrumental in the healing of the Kane family so she had to stick around, but Jacob and Kate are gone, so...) Either way, I do enjoy her character. There's plenty other writing decisions to criticize that are much bigger than Alice, imo.

    I agree that as of S2 she wasn't the shows villain, but she was for S1. Alice has largely turned into the Spike, of BtVS, and is as you say "going through her own journey". That I agree with.

    If Kate had told them to take care of Alice and believe in her, I could maybe understand it, but Kate basically washer her hands with Alice by the end of season 2 like the show did the Kane family.

    So how exactly does Alice end up in the custody of the bat team, and why? Since when does the gcpd work with batwoman?

    I'm kind of surprised Mad Hatter 2.0 is trying to so hard to mimic the real version. Like it's appreciated on some level but also seems weird that they'd act exactly like you would expect Jervis Tetch too? Not sure how I feel about it.

    I think that might actually be Killer Croc. They said we'd be seeing people grabbing the tech and some of the villains coming back to take what's theirs.

    I don't think they know Ryan is Batwoman, but how Ryan gets custody is a whole 'nother question. As is why they would even want to.

    I guess it has something to do with Ryan's biological mom.

    So Alice is out on probation? Jesus showrunners, let her go already. She is the new Malcolm Merlyn indeed.

    At this point it feels like the showrunners are messing with us. "We won't give you the ACTUAL characters. We'll just make up a whole bunch of new characters, and give THEM all of the classic characters toys and tricks!" The only exception would appear to be Poison Ivy, but I wouldn't put it passed them to have the plant infect a new woman, giving us Ivy 2.0.

    Well, for better or worse, Season 3 premieres tonight. Here's hoping it's a good one. Even with the weird premise of random characters getting a hold of Bat-Villain tech.

    I am so, so tired of Alice. I think she's overused as a villain, especially in tonight's episode and whatever other episodes she will be in this season, since her sister Kate and their father are no longer in the picture. Too bad she couldn't just rot in Arkham and never be heard from again.
