2. They have a new person taking on the mantle without having the last one heap praise on the replacement about how they're a much better hero than they can ever be.
3. Adding points 1 and 2, I think they're bringing Kate back just so Ryan can snap her out of her brainwashing, have Kate verbally tell Ryan (and through her, us) how Ryan is a better Batwoman than her, and then have Kate sacrifice her life somehow in order to save the day through some contrived reason thus giving her the "heroic farewell" the writers think they need to give her since Ruby quit.
I mean, tell me that doesn't all feel like a very CW thing to do. I think they only brought Kate back to have her tell Ryan/us how great Ryan is as the better Batwoman and then commit the noble sacrifice because that's how the CW do.
