The CW's Batwoman goes dark and heavy as we deal with the fallout from last week's episode where Kate (Ruby Rose) accidentally killed Jonathan Cartwright, Alice's (Rachel Skarsten) kidnapper and torturer. We literally open on the two of them, along with Daddy Kane (Dougray Scott) burying Cartwright under an overpass in some forgotten corner of […]
This week's Batwoman was a literal gamechanger, and I'm not sure if this episode is one of the best or one of the worst. There's a moment where I knew exactly what was going to happen next and I wanted to throw something at the television. Alas, I knew I had to watch Supergirl next, […]
Two days before production on The CW's Batwoman was shut down over coronavirus pandemic concerns, production assistant Amanda Smith was injured while filming the Warner Bros. TV series in Vancouver. Smith was left paralyzed from the waist down, with serious spinal injuries, including burst vertebrae. "A valued member of the Batwoman production team was recently […]
This week, Batwoman continues to blend the best of all the action Gotham has to offer, a new villain of the week, and continues to up the stakes for our main characters. At the center of the episode are Kate/Batwoman (Ruby Rose) and Sophie (Meagan Tandy), and their relationship and the realities of both dealing with […]
With The CW's Batwoman returning this Sunday, March 8 (with "Grinning From Ear to Ear"), we have two thoughts rambling around in our head. First, we're really impressed with the way the series keeps the lines between "big bads" and "heroes" blurred and constantly shifting – with impactful moments that allow is to relate to […]
After last week's Batwoman set Kate (Ruby Rose) and Beth (Rachel Skarsten) once again at odds and yet strangely more connected than ever, how do you up the tension even more? Throw in a sexy vampire, Nocturna (Kayla Ewell) and let's rekindle some old flames with Sophie (Meagan Tandy), then bring to a boil with […]
On this week's episode of The CW's Batwoman, with another universe's Beth (Rachel Skarsten) back in Kate's (Ruby Rose) universe post-Crisis, we find that, much like that episode of The X-Files, the doppelgangers can't occupy the same place without cosmic consequences. Our episode revolves around Kate having to make a choice between Beth and Alice […]
Now that the dust has settled from "Crisis on Infinite Earths" – and The CW's Arrowverse is a bit more "cozier" because of it – the changes are starting to be felt across all of our shows. Arrow is ending its run after eight seasons – only to become Green Arrow and the Canaries; while […]
If Batwoman is going to put the word "queer" in the title of an episode, they'd better deliver. And oh, girl, did they. With Gotham mourning the death of Oliver Queen post Crisis, everything else is more or less status quo ante. Except that more than ever they're hungry for news of Batwoman (Ruby Rose), […]
We've officially reached December, folks – which means The CW's "Arrowverse" shows are in full swing at this point. Arrow is shuffling off the network's programming coil after an abbreviated 10-episode eighth season (making The Flash the "elder states-show" of the "Arrowverse"), Ruby Rose-starrer Batwoman joined the family alongside Supergirl and expanded the Batman mythos […]
After three nights of Crisis, I have never felt so happy with three hours of television, so upset at how it ended, so angry I have to wait an entire month on a cliffhanger to find out how it ends. The third episode takes us to The Flash, and a ton happens to Team Flash […]
After Sunday night's Part 1 of Crisis, it would seem hard to top. And yet Part 2 gave us something completely different, running off a completely different type of energy, and still completely satisfying. As The Monitor (LaMonica Garrett) reveals the identity of several of the Paragons needed to fight the Crisis, the team splits […]
Now that's a mid-season finale! The CW's Batwoman ties off its pre-"Crisis" storylines with some major stakes and seismic shifts in the lives of our characters. And while Alice's "Mad Tea Party" doesn't directly tie in to the upcoming "Crisis" crossover, our final scene gives us invaluable clues as to what is happening (video below). […]
This week's Batwoman is one of the best of the series so far, as it finally feels like the show is firing on all cylinders. It provides some great action sequences, introduces us to new characters, layers in backstory and secondary motivations, and provides some opportunities for our lead actors to show off their range. […]
Batwoman is back this week, and we're meeting new friends and going deeper with old ones. It sounds like Kate (Ruby Rose) and Sophie (Meagan Tandy) will be front and center, with their prior relationship being explored more fully, especially as Sophie grapples with how to protect Kate and her identity as Batwoman from the […]
On this week's Batwoman, we meet Executioner, who uses the very methods Gotham uses to enforce the death penalty to take out its cops and lawyers. The villain-of-the-week formula is taken to the next level with some great character work by our main cast, but, most of all, a serious interrogation of the justice of […]
This week on The CW's Batwoman, it looks like at least one other person close to Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) will figure out her secret identity: namely, her ex paramour Sophie (Meagan Tandy), which complicates her role as one of the top leaders at the Crows private security firm run by Jacob, Kate's dad (Dougray […]
In this week's Batwoman, Alice reveals her backstory. It's a talking-heavy episode with a few action sequences, but zero sightings of the batsuit, so set your expectations appropriately. But most interestingly, we get more movement on Mary's (Nicole Kang) storyline, who continues to be the most interesting and best part of the show. We start […]
Batwoman (Ruby Rose) is out and proud in Gotham. Having burst onto the scene in our last episode, the city now expects her to step in and catch Magpie (Rachel Matthews), a new burglar robbing all things shiny from Gotham's wealthiest. Alice (Rachel Skarsten) also continues to dig into the Kane-Hamilton family secrets, and Martha […]
Batwoman is back. Having debuted her new version of the Batsuit last week, it's time for Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) to put her mark on Gotham. But this episode introduces us to a new shiny villain, Magpie (Rachel Matthews) But Alice (Rachel Skarsten) is by no means done with Kate or the rest of her […]
