Batwoman (2019)

How do you not know why Batman exiled himself? That should be in the general outline

My guess would be they want to keep their options open.

Season 1 would focus mostly on Kate anyway, like season 1 of Supergirl was on Kara, Superman didn't start showing-up and stuff until season 2. Difference being Kara and Clark have their own cities. If Bruce shows up and is physically and mentally fine, Kate has to move to Coryana, or globe-trotting, or wherever they can put her.

Plus, there's been quite a few rumors about Red Death for Flash, not saying that would be Earth 1's Bruce of course, but between those rumors and Conroy being a version of Bruce in COIE - who knows what they'll do, they don't yet.

My guess would be they want to keep their options open. Titans seemingly made a decision about Batman in its first season, only to back-flip by season 2, and now the main protagonist kinda looks like a liar.

I think this plot detail needs to get lockdown. When the writers decide to tackle the subject it won't contradict anything that's been established beforehand. We could avoid having a situation like Titans first season.

If J.J. Abrams and co. can get away with not having a clear answer to their mysteries for seasons and seasons, this isn't such a big deal. At least this time, there are actual answers already, they just need to pick one.

I'm no fan JJ Abrams and his mystery boxes can kick rocks.

Well, a while back they spoilers:

threw a Batman dummy off a building during shoots.

end of spoilers They must have decided some things. And there was also some audition lines saying spoilers:

that Batman was in Kazakhstan.

This gives me concerns about the overall creative direction

I guess it is more important that he did exile himself initially. The why is just a detail. And it isn't even an important detail. Maybe even better if it stays a mystery.

I assume if Maggie Sawyer were to show up it wouldn't be the Earth-38 Maggie Sawyer, they'd have to recast the role. But if the Krypton-38 Alura can be recast, I guess Maggie Sawyer isn't a problem.

If this show runs long like the other CW shows it's a detail that will need addressing eventually. Batman being gone for an extend period will be wtf.

Wonder how many of Batman's rogues will Warner Bros allow CW to play with for the show?

Joker is a definite no. Black Mask is out since he's the villain of the Harley movie. Gotham wrapped so that should free up the other a-listers.

Trailer for ep2 is up:


I'm going to wait for a build-up so I can binge like 3 eps at a time, like I do with the other Arrowverse series, guess I'll mostly be abandoning this thread soon.

Watched it. Liked it a lot. Typical pilot-y problems, but easily fixable. B-.

In case anyone was wondering, this is how Batwoman looks without the black-eye make-up:

Oh look, the series is getting review bombed by 'audience', what a surprise:

I didn't love it. It felt overload with Freudian drama and personal angst. Like Ruby Rose enough. But Alice and her henchmen underwhelmed. Kane takes out four large men only to be bested by a chick in a dress. Because reasons. But that is par for the course, main villains always give the hero more trouble than they have any right to. So I'll stick with it, but it has a short lease.

I was surprised how much Batman they did have on the show even if he was Supergirled. I wonder if WB will actually let him show up in season 2?
