Batwoman pilot

[LonnieFisher]

I'd call it a "dirty diaper dumpster fire" of a show. Take a crap on Bruce Wayne and wipe with Batman's cape...

[Mr.Marion]

The first episode wasn't very good.
I guess I should have wait to see how they handle Pinkguin (the female Penguin) 😁

Watched it and it was okay. we do find out off the bat who ALICE is!


BATWOMAN has significance with me as I have been of fan of the character since the 1980's, when I first discovered KATHY KANE aka circus owner and bored rich heiress!


the only thing that was upsetting to me was in the opening credits


Characters created by Bob Kane with Bill Finger.


Bob Kane had JACK**** to do with Batwoman (or Ace or Betty Kane/Bat-Girl, or BAT-MITE!)

It was ALL Bill Finger and SHELDON "SHELLY" MOLDOFF and its not fair that this punk is making money even if all three are dead!!

having bought art from Shelly over the last 20 years has been a joy for me.


but I digress...


Kate seems like someone very plagued with guilt, and I am gonna guess as the season rolls on that she will either come to terms with it or have more of it!
I am looking forward to seeing the Batman rogues gallery make their way and the one thing I hope they do NOT DO.


Dont mess with BETTY KANE, leave her out of this.

I stopped watching too but it wasn't because of her, she was pretty great.

Caity Lotz seems pretty cool. Always been a little fascinated by her from her occasional role on "Mad Men".

[palitoy]

I no longer watch her show, but yes, agreed...Sara Lance is awesome. She’s very athletic...and her fight scenes were solid.

Yeah, except the way they're doing it, it's in danger of running close to this:

Ha! Yeah, I will recognize its ham-fistedness.

[Nostalgiabuff]

I did not even realize it was already on. I set the DVR for tonight. I'll give it a shot but like many of you I am tired of the Arrowverse. I'm glad they decided to end Arrow on a short season. I gave up on watching Legends(too goofy), and Supergirl(too preachy) and am barely hanging in there for Arrow and Flash

[Makernaut]

I gave it a try. Didn't hate it, but it doesn't seem interesting enough to compete with a whole slew of other things I could be watching so I will pass, for now.

I'll DVR/tune in for the Crisis Event out of nostalgia, but it's been a slow and steady decline to near zero interest in the Arrowverse, for me.

[Hector]

I've never felt that way about Sara Lance (easily my favourite CW character) because she seems to own the action scenes.

[Hector]

I’d rather watch paint dry.

IMO it provides the show with some good character development as the hero is an outsider and it's believable motivation.

It was hard to get through the CW-esque chewing of scenes, but I knew that would be the way going in. I just never believed this Kate as a pained and grizzled outside who turns to the Bat mythos. Maybe it's Rose or maybe its the writing or, more likely, both. I'll check out the next ep, but I'm not sure if I'll be able to stay with it. I have a feeling this will go the way of the other CW shows.

[powersthatbe]

Save for The upcoming crisis crossover, I think I’m done for now watching the cow shows I dvr batwoman but I might just erase it. I watched black lightning last night and it’s such a joyless show so I’m not bothering with any of them this season.

[TRDouble]

I too have burned out on the CW shows. I still want to go back and catch up on Black Lightning, because I stopped watching only due to personal issues, but I gave up on Legends a while ago, Arrow two seasons ago, and those "personal reasons" made it easy to non-regrettably fall behind and never finish The Flash (once my favorite show) or Supergirl. I will probably watch the last season's finales of those two shows because Crisis has me interested, but... eh.

To the topic at hand, I decided to watch Batwoman. New DC show, Bat-mythos and all... it was okay. I'm not a big fan of the lead actor, as it feels she is trying too hard in the role (and The CW has a lot to do with that, I am sure!), but the show, and the Kate Kane portrayal, was better than what the many promos showed. I will probably watch it, mostly because of the upcoming Crisis, but one of the best things about the CW DC shows is the initial hero character development and I would like to see her develop into her comic/crossover costume.

After that, I'm not sure what I will do with the CW shows. I still have interest in the DC Universe Shows (Titans Season 2, I still need to watch Doom Patrol), even if the same people are behind the CW shows. Maybe I am just getting Super-Hero film & TV fatigue.

[palitoy]

I would guess Batwoman's are somewhat built-in, and honestly expected, so I wouldn't mind it as much here.

Yeah, exactly, IMO it provides the show with some good character development as the hero is an outsider and it's believable motivation. Also, I assume we'll be seeing a "Batwoman-Kate-Sophie" love triangle in the coming shows which is a fresh take on a dusty ol' trope.
