Batwoman was introduced in 2006 in the seventh week of the publisher's year-long 52 weekly comic book. Introduced as Kate Kane, the modern Batwoman began operating in Gotham City in Batman's absence following the events of the company-wide crossover Infinite Crisis (2005). The modern Batwoman is written as being of Jewish descent and as a lesbian.
Batwoman is a distinct character from Batgirl, who has been around as various different people for a long time.

She needs a new hairdo. Looks like David Hogg had gender reassignment surgery.

Not sure about the current Batwoman in the comics but in the past she was a lesbian so they didn’t change it just for this show.
Was she really? I don't recall ever getting that impression, but I'm far from any type of comic aficionado.
What I do know is this show looks hysterically awful. It almost comes across like a spoof.
If Batgirl (it's BATGIRL dammit!) was a lesbian originally, then it is the way it is supposed to be- not rubbing your nose in the fact. I was unimpressed with her acting in John Wick 2 and the trailer looks worse.

Batwoman is a different character from Batgirl.

You know what? I'm completely off the mark. This whole time I had her confused with catwoman, so I was thinking of past examples like Michelle Pfeiffer, Halle Barry, and Anne Hathaway. I realize now that I know absolutely nothing then about Batwoman or Batgirl, whichever it is.

How does Ruby Rose constantly get 'action' roles? She's rail thin, and has zero muscle definition that would suggest any physical prowess. She was miscast in John Wick 2, XXX and the same with this.
Now about the writing of this disaster...This message has been edited. Last edited by: corsair, May 20, 2019 11:42 PM

If I wanted to see a lesbian Batwoman that's what p0rnhu8 is for.

Yeah, reminds of the 'Wonder Woman' movie they tried to make years ago (way before Gal Gadot came along). She was basically a Victoria's Secret underwear model - all skin and bones with no discernable muscle mass.
This one looks the same. Some scrawny size 0 woman in a bat suit would get her butt handed to her every time.
The writing is full of the same old stale "GIRL POWER YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" garbage.
They should take advertising from Gillette.

Kate Kane/Batwoman made her debut on the Arrowverse crossover back in December. The character had no appeal to me as a viewer so I didn't hold out high hopes for the upcoming series. I may be proven wrong, but it now looks like they're over the edge and accelerating downward.

They have either dumped some of the better comments or put in a new algorithm in an attempt to bury them. Most of the "top" comments now are less than 5 hours old. I had to scroll down about 10 yards (that is what it felt like on the mouse) to find one comment from 5 days ago.
Hey, maybe they can get Nike and Gillette to sponsor it. This message has been edited. Last edited by: jsbcody, May 23, 2019 10:23 PM

The last of the Batman trilogy's had Bruce Wayne off in the sunset with Catwomen played in leather by Ann Hathaway. That's how Batwomen should look. Yes, I am a pig.

I didn't suffer through the video, so I haven't seen the Batwagon. Its the car. Everybody knows that the Batverse is all about the car.

I could care less about the character's sexual preference. I do know that a story that's supposed to be about superheroes that turns into a social justice screed won't be anything I'll waste my time watching.
