This season is giving me a lot of Batman Beyond vibes. Ryan feels a lot like Terry.
Also appreciate that they're keeping the diary writing but now it's Ryan writing to Kate, neat touch.
It was so weird seeing that rally. I wonder how expensive that was to do with COVID happening.

Let's say that Ruby decides to come back all of a sudden, do you think they get rid of Ryan or make her a support side kick oc vigilante?
Yeah I'm wondering how they did those crowd scenes, the far shots/TV shots could've been filled in with CGI but it looked pretty good.
anyway another solid episode. Luke was hilarious. also yeah Mary gets no love. Jacob you have one daughter left, maybe don't treat her like shit?

I think they'd have both as equals, both using the name Batwoman. I think it's super unlikely that Ruby Rose will return full time, but if it does happen, it won't be this season, so we'd be talking a return after both characters (and both leads) had spent one season each as Batwoman. I don't think it'd make sense to have Ryan as the lead for a season and then drop back to sidekick, especially because probably like half the episodes this season are going to be about her learning how to live up to the Batwoman/Kate Kane legacy.
Liked the episode, getting curious about the new big bad.
Jacob can become the evil stepdad. Like Alice treats Mary as a sister in her own creepy way, but Jacob just doesn't care.
I don't think the producers let Ruby come back full time. Guest star maybe, but you can't trust her to stick around.

There is no "Ruby decides to come back and they fire their new lead actress." That isn't a thin that would ever happen. Aside from them likely having no desire to do so, the optics would be absolutely terrible.

I have to imagine it's very difficult. In Supernatural's second-to-last episode, there is a scene in a town with a pretty solid number of people but it's really the only time in the COVID episodes you see that.
I assume a lot of effort was put into testing and guidelines.
And even that could still have been filmed before Covid lockdowns.
Like some other have said, I'm burned out on the CW DC shows, with the exception of Legends of Tomorrow. I have watched all these shows from the beginning, and I think I'm just tired of the formula. Tried the first two episodes, they were decent, and I like the new lead, I'm just burned out on the formula.
2x03 - "Bat Girl Magic!"
Going through the ep now, is it me or did the assassin who kidnapped Alice lose her accent immediately? Lol
New Zsaz was good, but the way he got taken out is stupid. And they redesigned the suit in a whole 5 minutes? K..
This reason why Kate's missing is also eh. Should've left it a mystery for a while.

My guess is she survived the crash, was taken by Sayfiya but is paralyzed from the waist down and cant walk thus passing the torch permanently to Ryan.
Zsasz grew on me, not gonna lie
Anyway show is actually still pretty good, although Safiyah is treading dangerously close to being Ra's 2.0 and we saw how a season of going back and forward between Nanda Parbat went. Also not sure how they resolve this storyline without at least one appearance from Ruby Rose.

I remember Safiyah from being on Dominion (Syfy series, not the movie). I guess Kate is alive, unless she was lying to mess with Alice and get her to do her bidding.
Pretty sure we have a Schrodinger's Kate situation where she could either be alive or dead depending on how Ruby Rose feels about coming back to film some scenes/episodes.
Yeah, I'm pretty sure their thinking is to use it to keep the door open for a way down the line guest spot if the option comes up.
That said, I hope they move on from being stuck on this plot point and get to things that are more interesting and have the new Bat fully take on the mantle instead of feeling like a temp. Luke/Mary/Ryan have seemingly moved on, but I can't go through a season of Alice/Sophie/Jacob stuck on this plot.. it's already boring.
I'm surprised I enjoyed him as much as I did, since nothing will ever top the Gotham version of the character. Talk about a tough act to follow.
Oh yeah forgot Black Mask was referenced in this episode
my problem with the Kate storyline - which has the fun Alice parallels I realized - is the longer it goes on without some kind of Ruby payoff the worse it'll be. If you can't get her back, don't tease the audience and characters with her. Just kill her off fully.

The Flash and Legends were also renewed for the 2021-2022 season.

The point was that alt-right comic sites were pushing a bigoted agenda, claiming that the show was in danger of being cancelled, as they did last year as well. And they were wrong yet again, as expected.
Batwoman ratings are good for The CW. It was one of the most watched shows on the network last year (third behind Flash and the now-ended Supernatural) and while it has dropped this year, there are a number of other important metrics. It's doing well for the network.

I'm not taking overall ratings, but season one to season two and even this season's post premiere episode took big hits.The point was that alt-right comic sites were pushing a bigoted agenda, claiming that the show was in danger of being cancelled, as they did last year as well.

As for Walker, that's good, cause as I said I'm watching it, I just don't personally know anyone else who is. Random Supernatural (and CW) cast members being in it is hilarious to me though.
Black Mask will be interesting. Will Warren be coming back as the actual Bruce or have they not said anything on that? I know theyll probably have Kate pass off to Ryan but I found it funny that they could use Bruce too to pass off the mantle to Ryan, though yeah I know the show is about Batwoman. i am liking Ryan though a lot more.
So I was pretty adamant on my recasting Kate and not going in this new character direction but Ryan grew on me pretty quick, I like her and Javicia is a big step up on the acting side... I like her.
OP

I was against the idea of introducing a new character but the moment they cast Javicia, my opinion completely changed. Just had a good feeling about her and I loved that they took Ruby leaving and used it as an opportunity to give us a new actor of color in a lead superhero role.

Not really liking how Gotham seems to have a major "abducting children and keeping them locked in a room" problem. It's a weird plot point to keep going back to, and it's weird that Batman or Robin or anybody else wasn't really on it.
Plus, watching on the CW, there was just an ad where it was some guy overtly sermonizing?

They're really going to drag the shit out of this missing Kate plot aren't they? *sigh* Should've just had her missing all season with no trace, declared her dead and left the Alice w/ secret assassin island stuff till the season finale.
-If you're being chased by a car, why are you running in the middle of the street?
-Ryan going after the candy lady with no suit because, reasons.. is stupid.
-They tried to recreate the BvS thing where Batman grapples the crate and smacks that dude with it, but here Batwoman doesn't even change her stance, puts in effort and drags a pallet 20 feet and smacks a guy. K.
-She got shot by a Kryptonite bullet like 4 eps ago (which should be weeks to a month+ in real time), it hasn't healed, still hurts (except when she's doing anything. What?) and the Kryptonite is leaking into her bloodstream. Let's not tell the genius scientist or brilliant doctor you hang around 90% of the time cause CW SEEEEECREETTSSS!
-Alice still great.
I think I'm getting to old for CW stuff.

Looks like I need to bump this up to "Sophie" and "episode five".
I like the theme of the episode but the execution just fell flat.
A kidnapper who doesn't change her house all this time.
Ryan is just going there unprepared.
Head of a TaskForce comes alone in factory
the Arrowverse IQ.
Alice is gonna be the Spike of the show.
Alice and Abercrombie model 🤣 CW

So apparently the only way to make Sophie a half decent character is to have Alice playing off her. That said I don't like that we apparently have an Alice romance plot coming up. It also seems that when she escaped the house she was still somewhat sane, ended up on Safiya's island, was trained, ???, now she's full blown crazy and apparently amnesiac.
The kidnapping children plot was... strange. I dunno, the fact that kidnapping has become such a recurring plot lessens the impact a lot.

Sorry to ask but I have seen a lot of the CW shows some year ago but dropped out when it was just to hard to keep up with every show.. I was like with the Flash who had an elektric team guy.. And Arrow was in prison..
But can I just watch this show stand alone? I really like the Batman universe so I might want to give some shows a try again without going into that same 'watch 8 shows a week every week' thing

At the moment, yes, mostly. Batwoman is introduced in a crossover and is a reasonably big part of the crossover after that, but everything else in the show is standalone. Also with COVID hitting, Ruby Rose bouncing and Supergirl ending the show is strictly focusing on itself currently.
Diggle is set to show up on each show but I'm pretty sure that's it for crossovers for this season at least. And Arrow's ended so it's not like you need to watch that for context.
CW shows usually don't have anything to do with each other unless there's a crossover, so yes definitely.
Hell, I don't even think they're acknowledged any city outside of Gotham & Bludhaven in the series at all. It's pretty self contained.
