Batwoman (2019)

I liked it. Even more curious as to why Kate was there initially, and why she came back.

She's asking Luke where Bruce is, so she must have wanted Bruce's help to find Sophie, probably through his resources as she probably doesn't know he's Batman at this stage. Or at least my take on this clip without further context.

Then that raises the question of why she went there at first.

Well, if she's just gotten back to the city she probably doesn't have a lot of contacts, and I get the impression she doesn't get along with her father so much in this version of the character, and either can't or won't turn to him for help. So, the next logical step is someone else in the family with influence and power (since her step-mother would no doubt be on her father's side.) Wayne Tech after all.

What? It's not any worse than any other show.

You're right that it's no worse that any other CW show. It's considerably below the standards of well acted shows, though.

Ha-ha. But no, I mean any other show. I don't know of any recent or upcoming show that has acting that's as awful as you're claiming. The acting here isn't bad, and I don't know how you can honestly say it is.

That looks like it could be the same shoot from that early poster that was mostly red and a silhouette.

It's way more comics accurate now - nice.

Gonna guess this is where she'll get her first run-in with fear toxin. Some of those stills have a "Ghost of Christmas ___" vibe about them, like Alice is tricking her somehow with false visions.

...did a pretty good job in Elseworlds and looks to be continuing that here?

Having only watched Ruby Rose in Orange is the New Black and on Arrow, I am wondering where she got the reputation as a bad actor. Perhaps the other roles were just poorly written?
Can someone cite movies in which she was a bad actor so I can get a better idea of why people are complaining?

At a guess, I think it's because her acting is mostly reserved, along with many of her roles (she's even said in recentish interviews that Kate Kane has probably the widest emotional range of any role she's had). Not necessarily anything to do with writing, and not necessarily a better or worse style of acting than any other. But to many, that sort of style comes across as low-energy or lacking charisma, even though it's way closer to how most real people behave.

I think another part is a more general tendency for people to exaggerate; in this case, if an actor isn't Oscar or Emmy quality then, well, they're automatically complete garbage. No nuance.
