Batwoman (CW series) -- discussion/speculation (please tag spoilers)

Also trolls. Twitter has a lot of them to.

Okay serious question since im pretty ignorant about Batwoman. Does she have her own villians or does she pretty much fight Batman's enemies

She has a number of her own, who are (to me) pretty unremarkable.

Since 2016 she's effectively been the lead character in Detective Comics, where she is recruited by Batman to bring together Batman allies to fight as a team against [insert villain of the story arc here]. The team operates in Gotham and has consisted variously of Batman, Batwoman, Red Robin, Orphan, Spoiler, Azrael, a reformed Clayface, Batwing, and occasionally with help from Batgirl and Nightwing. So, naturally, they fight a lot of Gotham-based villains.

With that many superhero crime fighters, how does Gotham have any crime at all?

I mean, Gotham has been like a Detroit meets Mogadishu plus Las Vegas on superpowered steroids.

Gamespot article on the history of Batwoman...says largely what I already posted in this thread, but adds a few contextual details that I left out, if anyone’s interested.

It's about the actress not being Jewish playing a Jewish character. I mean if their problem was that Batwoman is gay...um...isn't she supposed to be gay?

Same old, same old then.

I Wonder if Cote de Pablo, a Latin actress, ever got any flak for playing Ziva David in NCIS...

Let me see...

Nope, can't find anything, except for a criticism on the character itself but not because it's Cote playing her. Just a general criticism on the kind of character.

And now I realize once again that I really miss Ziva on NCIS... Though love Eleonor too.

I blame twitter, I seriously do. It has popularized and enabled this sort of thing.

Don't try to understand twitter mobs. Half the time they're just bots out to agitate anyway.

indeed.

I have an animated Batwoman movie running around somewhere. My daughter is excited that Batwoman is joining the tv verse.

That costume looks on point.

I like the way the colour and texturing of the cape makes it look a bit brown and slightly furry--like a bat's wing.

[Falcon Horus]

I'm lovin' it.

That's because she's bat....woman.

I watched Elseworlds mostly for the Batwoman introduction. While I liked what I saw, there was danged little of her. Kinda bummed about that.

I too was hoping to see more.
