Batwoman (2019)

[Sandy Hausler]

I'd like to think in this continuity, Two-Face was cured and went back to being Harvey Dent.

Bad idea. As soon as they show Harvey Dent, everybody is going to be waiting for him to become Two-Face again. And CW will oblige them!

With Tyler, I got nothing. I mean, what did he think- that Sophie was a virgin and had never been in another relationship before him?

No. I think he just expected her to be honest, and Sophie did lie to him repeatedly about her relationship with Kate.

Agreed. I actually grew to like Eddie (the episode where he was framed by a shapeshifter and, after Flash broke him out, convinved Barry to take him back was the turning point for me), and when he died I was genuinely sad.

I think the main difference with Eddie and Tyler was that Eddie was a main character and fairly plot relevant while Tyler is basically a Sophie supporting character.

No. I think he just expected her to be honest, and Sophie did lie to him repeatedly about her relationship with Kate.

Yeah, his main issue was that she wasn't upfront about her relationship with Kate, and he thinks there is something to the fact that she continually tries to hide and downplay their past relationship.

Over al the writing is hit or miss(like all the cw shows) however like black lightning it is more hit then miss. I kee hopeing for more villian of the week stuff to work ut more of batwoman...

Each review i d hs gotten shorter and shorter..but unlike supergi i am still wtching.

Yeah, I'm not seeing him as the bad guy here. I believe his reaction would have been the same had Kate been a guy, too.

If Sophie only had lesbian relationships prior to meeting Tyler I suppose it is possible he thought she was a virgin.

Not an expert, but I'm pretty sure that's not how things work.

But, if we're gonna judge virginity by a broken hymen, my ex lost her virginity to a bicycle.

I know it didn't directly lead to it, but Mary can make the claim that it was a factor. Of course the argument against anything going on IMHO is Catherine kicked off this entire **** storm because she wanted to jump Jacob's bones. Had she not lied about the bones, Jacob keeps looking, maybe he finds her. (yes yes, maybe he doesn't) but Catherine's shady ish certainly had a large hand in this.

Make no bones about it, a lot of blame does go to Catherine.

There was a Dent cell in Arkham, so unless they just never got around to removing his nameplate...

Crap. Uh...maybe that was Duela Dent?

Bad idea. As soon as they show Harvey Dent, everybody is going to be waiting for him to become Two-Face again. And CW will oblige them!

I don't want Harvey to make an on-screen appearance. Just a passing reference that he was cured by Arkham and redeemed. At least one Batvillain should be.

Just one?

Condiment King.

Because Arkham is oh so well known for being good at rehabilitation and successfully treating it's prisoners oops I mean patients.

Anyone else hoping they eventually bring in Hugo Strange or Scarecrow?

I just don't think TV Kate cares a lick about style. She just puts on whatever she feels like (even if looks like she only really has one outfit).

The red sections on the batsuit look too cool for her not to care about style, plus her wig is neatly combed and that red-lipstick applied perfectly.

What would a casual batsuit even look like? I guess she would have kept wearing the same suit as eps 1 and 2, but maybe with a 'not Batman' sign stencilled on it somewhere?

To be honest, I'm surprised they didn't say "you're under arrest for the murder of your wife" when they arrested him.

The cops probably assumed he knew who he had just killed and I'm guessing the writers want a quieter moment to let Dougray Scott really react to the news rather than have it happen during such a chaotic moment.

I agree it's not the same as Lena's plight, but I just wish the others would at least attempt to explain to Alice they did the best they could.

But that's not how guilt works - they've both said that they don't feel they did the best they could have.

Well NOW Kate stops trying to treat Mary like ****. A bit late, ain't it?

Let's hope it's not too late before she stops treating Fox like her butler...

[Frontier]

I think they might have a better chance getting access to Strange then Scarecrow.

Let's hope it's not too late before she stops treating Fox like her butler...

I feel bad for Luke that he seemingly has no life outside helping Kate be Batwoman. And that Kate treats him little better then an assistant.

First season is all about Kate's growth, and gradual development into a hero. She hasn't had much empathy for anyone other than her sister up until now. The blurb for the first season literally says "don't call her a hero yet".

She's been concerned with her own wants and needs, and her own feelings. Even being Batwoman after the rescue of Sophie was mostly about guilt because Gotham thought Batman was back (and she was worried about disappointing Bruce). She spent 5 years doing survival training to become a Crow, seems maybe it was just her and her teacher/s, so she will have been self-focused for some time.

Prime examples of this are an early episode where the radio is talking about Magpies crime spree while Batwoman ignores it. Luke also brings this up, and Kate takes a while to act because she's more concerned with her personal life than being a hero. She held Dodson herself, rather working with police, or establishing contact with them, because she isn't concerned with bringing criminals in, just 'saving' her sister. And her lack of planning or care causes him to need hospitalization (with Mary).

I think she will learn some things from her time with the others (mostly Supergirl but also Flash and Arrow) during COIEs. Probably Supergirl and Flash's influence will teach her some things.

[j9ac9k]

Kate not being a hero doesn't excuse being a dick to (or at the very least treating in a disrespectful way) someone who's been helping you out a lot and has saved your life a couple of times. But yes, I'm sure she will grow to be a better person overall.
