I for one find comparing BL and LoT pretty difficult, given that they are completely different in tone.
I love LoT for wholly different reasons than the rest of the show. It's just zany fun.
Black Lightning is pretty much the darkest of the Arrowverse shows, even more so than Arrow ever was, or Batwoman.
Flash and Supergirl are somewhat in the middle, mostly idealistic, but with pretty dark moments thrown in as well.

Seems they want a more "likable" and light-hearted, "goofy" style Batwoman - sounds dumb to me.
Also, apparently as long as you're a lesbian you can be Batwoman - that's all it takes. And apparently lesbians are interchangeable too, who knew?
The description for the replacement character:

Ryan Wilder is about to become Batwoman. She's likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed. She's also nothing like Kate Kane, the woman who wore the batsuit before her. With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits.
Today, reformed and sober, Ryan lives in her van with her plant. A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat and could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic. Raw. Passionate. Fallible. And very much not your steretypical All-American hero.
Potentially turning Batwoman into legends sounds like a major turn off.
I don't see how they're going to justify this woman ending up in a batsuit or Luke and Mary being okay with this woman in a batsuit.
Bruce if the show ever gets around resolving that subplot.

Why don't we all actually watch at least the first episode of season 2 before we give up on it and declare it the the worst thing ever?
