Batwoman - The CW *Spoilers*

Found the finale to be a mixed bag. It has been confirmed that

Dougray Scott and Wallis Day (Jacob and Kate Kane) will not be back next season. Both of their storylines have ended

CastorTroy

Probably for the best.

Means next season can concentrate on Ryan as Batwoman.

So Luke drew what he thought a black Batman would look like and instead of looking like Batman but black, he comes up with a design where his race can't be identified.

So even though the batsuit is body armour, how are they able to take it apart and put it together so easily? Like first Kate did it to suit her, then Ryan, then "Circe" and now team Batwoman.

It's your typical CW plot holes.

Last Season we were told that only Kryptonite can damage the suit after Kate took it apart in the first episode, Ryan probably used Kryptonite to alter it herself and Circe can be seen with a piece of it when she made the tear in the Bat symbol on the suit. The suit itelf seems to be a body suit and then the armor pieces are added on separately

I found the Crows stuff quite inconsistent - on one level they are meant to be a normal private security firm, with paying clients and such. In others they appear to be a quasi Government agency, doing police work (despite there being a normal police force) and in one particular instance Moore, at this point acting director with Kane in the custody of the actual police for his wife’s murder, goes so far as to order the summary execution of Alice without any trial and only doesn’t go through with it because she witnesses (or so she thinks) another character doing the job for her.

I know, “just repeat to yourself it’s just a show, I should really just relax!”

So if they are gone, good riddance - the basic problem season 2 has is that basically every character in the original set up, bar Luke, is somehow related to or went out with Kate - her sister, her dad, her ex-girlfriend, her stepsister. This cuts another tie to the original format and might help the retooled version stand more on its own feet

Definitely the worst show runner of the cw superhero shows. Writes off the main character not once but seemingly twice. With the failing ratings you would think they would have to learnt to compromise.

I wonder if they had planned for Wallis Day to take over but due to scheduling they had to leave if for the second half of the Season. When Ruby Rose left they should have just got a replacement and have the first half of the Season be the whole Kate/Circe plot and have Ryan officially take up the mantle at midseason. Also with the reveal of Ryan's mother not being dead who wants to bet that it will end up being that she is actually Luke's sister

Sudden Valley

I think the problem is no one cares who Ryan's mother is- suggestion it may be a comic book established villain but that still doesn't make Ryan anything less then a non-entity. I think you can successfully add non-comic book characters as side characters to comic book shows (like Chloe in Smallville or Felicity in Arrow) but a lot of fans just cant accept them immediately as the main characters. Wallis Day was good as Kate but I think if the showrunner goes ahead with her plan for season 3 that may be the last one.
Amazing how some of the older arrowverse shows have had bad writing for a few years but still have better ratings than batwoman.

Victoria Cartagena has joined the cast of The CW’s Batwoman as Renee Montoya — the same DC Comics character she played on Fox’s Gotham.

Robin Givens is set to play Jada Jet, the powerful CEO of Jet Industries

I have to say the Bat car in this is just crap. It's like any generic supercar and absolutely nothing special. The best Bat car was the one from the Christopher Nolan films. Now that was special.

AMKC

I thought they missed a big opportunity there to have two Batwomem. One could do nights in the city and the days and then they could both team up when there was a big baddie.

As it was I have to say I was disappointed with the final.

Spoiler Warning

So it looks like Poison I've might be appearing next season. I wonder who will star as her?

CastorTroy

Bridget Regan has been cast to play

Spoiler Warning

Poison Ivy

Batwing must be the scrawniest looking member of the Bat family across all shows. Even Burt Ward's Robin would look intimidating beside him.

CastorTroy

With all the talk about Ryan being Acting CEO, I was thinking shareholders must be really worried about the company. First Kate Kane comes from nowhere and takes over then she passes it off to this woman with even less experience than Kate. Does anyone know what the company does, apart from own a bar and a building with 1 office?

They've never actively explained what they do. Its one of those CW things where you don't overthink it, like what has STAR Labs been doing all these years apart from providing the CCPD with anti meta equipment. Or what does Luke do as a day job?

CastorTroy

Ah yes, STAR Labs. If Cisco and Caitlin were here for the pandemic, they would've come up with a vaccine/cure that worked right away with no side effects and no need to do any trials.

They did start those tours to make some money.

CastorTroy

Well we meet another Waynetech employee and it's Andrew.

Think I'll give it 1 more episode but this episode was just boring.

And speaking of magic cures, Mary suddenly solved the secret of Cryostasis thawing with little to no experience.

EoinMcLovin

First look at

Mary as the new Poison Ivy

Ivy deserved to be caught. How long was she at that dam without doing anything? Then decides to take on Batwoman using whips despite instantly stabbing someone through the chest a couple of minutes earlier. And she obviously still had powers since she was using them on Luke.

But all okay anyway since she's set free even though she killed plenty of people and attempted to kill thousands more.

Bit confused what happened that CEO dude at the beginning.

The Bat-Blimp - dafuq?

I must really like self flagellation to keep watching but...
