Oh, I did not actually expect this for some reason - petition is past 1500.

I didn't follow the behind-the-scenes drama, all I knew was they replaced a lead and the ratings dropped.

The irony is, Superman actually started out as a serious exception to this. Lois Lane figured it out early, but kept failing to prove it. She was effectively a minor secondary villain in many early comics, always knowing Clark was Superman, but constantly failing to prove it.
I'm enjoying the fact that every time CW posts some type of Season 2 promo, almost all of the replies are about wanting Kate Kane back.

And even somewhat when promoting Season 1:

Bit of fun (fan credits):
Looks like there is an online panel or something of Batwoman soon:

Ya know, with these latest promos 'Bat Chat' talking about season 1 and the lead up to Safiya - I'm getting mixed-messages.

What exactly is the point of characters like Safiya without Kate? She's a Kate specific villain and yet they are still promoting her as going ahead. The articles a few weeks back spoke of how Scarecrow will be "Ryan's" villain (what will Safiya be a villain of the week?). Scarecrow is a Batman villain, that gets shared around with his family from time to time. Alice and Safiya are specific to Kate, and haven't had true encounters with anyone else in the Batfamily, let alone a random newbie.
There's been no further official news of "Ryan" since the backtracking that Kate will no longer be killed off. And despite how that announcement was worded - the earlier articles in addition to the leaked audition tapes make it very clear they were going to kill her off (until the backlash hit and they changed their minds). I can still hold the fantasy that they'll backtrack on replacing Kate as well.
Anyone else find it strange that in the promo piece stated to discuss Season 2 secrets - they don't. They just say watch Season 1...Are they stalling for time or having a crisis of confidence? I think both, personally.
They still seem to be getting swamped in demands for a Kate recast every time they do these promos, from I can tell.
Not far from 2000 now:
