That is the most Babs-looking Stephanie Brown I've ever seen.
Knowing CW, they will reveal she is actually Jim Gordon's illegitimate daughter with the middle name 'Barbara' and Stephanie was her long lost sister who will promptly die, triggering Steph Babs growth into Batgirl but then we learn that the other Stephanie Brown has been resurrected and is the captain of a time traveling ship. Meanwhile there is an alternate universe version of Steph Babs running around murdering people.
Warner Brothers doing reverent- in both body and soul- live-action screen adaptations of their comic book characters began, and then immediately ended, with Christopher Reeve as Superman in 1978.

I’m pretty sure they’re just laying out how the Arrowverse handled Laurel Lance, and just adding the Barbara name and Gordon affair as a counterpart to them trying to make Dinah “Laurel” instead (a kind of “hide the canon character in a seemingly new package” idea for no good reason) and joking about them making this Steph actually an adaptation of Babs.
I have to admit, I think it’s perplexing. But the again, a “Cassandra Cain” was in a movie a year ago and didn’t act a thing like Cass.
Like action, adventure, rogues, and outlaws? Like anti-heroes, femme fatales, mysteries and thrillers?
I wrote a book with them. Outlaw’s Shadow: A Sherwood Noir. Robin Hood’s evil counterpart, Guy of Gisbourne, is the main character. Feel free to give it a look: https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asi...E2PKBNJFH76GQP
Batwoman is a notoriously bad show. Even if she looked the part expectations for Steph should be low, like Batman and Robin low.
They backflipped after production had already begun. You're assuming it was in immediate response to viewership, but that's not what I said here. Although, it's arguable that the backlash of the casting news had some influence.
To be honest with you, I did consider the ‘soap opera version’ [of recasting] for a hot minutehttps://tvline.com/2020/06/06/why-ba...cter-season-2/In addition to paying “respect to everything that Ruby [Rose] put into the Kate Kane character” during Season 1, Dries said, “it also helps the audience, because we’re not asking them to address ‘the elephant in the room'” by accepting a new face as the same person.
They had decided not to use the character of Kate. Then, the backflip."Yeah, so I actually went out for it last year, when they announced the departure of Ruby [Rose]," Wallis Day (Krypton), the new Kate Kane on The CW's Batwoman told CBR. "But a few weeks into the process, they said that they were heading in a different direction."
Day added that showrunner Caroline [Dries] wrote her an email about the change, but told her they would give her a call should they decide on bringing Kate Kane back. Day continued, "I was just like, [sighs] 'Yeah, right, everyone always says this to the actors!' But to be honest, I was really upset about it, because it just felt like such a right move. You never really get excited, because you kind of get used to rejection as an actor, but it just gnawed at me."https://www.cbr.com/batwoman-wallis-...ampaign=CBR-TWHowever, Day finally got a call in January, recalling, "Caroline called, and I was like, 'Yes, I do still want to play Kate! Let's do it!' And here we are."
Now we've gone way of topic, this a Steph thread. If you want to argue further, bring it to the Kate Kane Recast Thread.
