14 on Batwoman showrunner promised to 'never erase' Kate KaneThe behind-the-scenes drama of Batwoman continues as the series deals with the departure of its lead actor, Ruby Rose. Following the news that Ruby Rose had departed Batwoman, the powers that be at the series have been scrambling to come up with solutions. Originally the plan called for the role to be recast, but then…
Hartley Sawyer won't be returning for season 7 of The Flash due to older social media posts that have resurfaced. Ranging from racist comments to sexual assault, a number of old tweets have been found. Joining The Flash in 2017 as Ralph Dibny/Elongated Man, Sawyer was promoted to a series regular in 2018. Throughout season…
It's a mystery that could possibly even tax Batman's detective skills: Why is the character of Kate Kane being replaced on Batwoman? When Ruby Rose left the Batwoman series, the first announcement was that the role of Kate Kane/Batwoman would be recast. Since that time the plan has changed, and Kate Kane will now be…
Despite the drastic effect of the Coronavirus pandemic on TV schedules, somehow my two favorite shows from this season--Black Lightning and Legends of Tomorrow--are the only ones that got real endings. This week marks the season 5 finale of Legends of Tomorrow, in which Ava uses Shake Weights as a weapon and Marie Antoinette loses her head again. Spoilers follow…
In a stunning announcement last month, the CW and Ruby Rose announced that the Australian actress would put down the cowl for good. Ruby Rose will not return as Kate Kane in Batwoman. Instead, the CW said, it would be pursuing a new actress from the LGBTQ community to lead the show. Recasting a main character…
When Batwoman returns to TV screens in 2021, it won't just be a change in the lead actress that is the only difference. With the departure of Ruby Rose from Batwoman, the natural assumption was that a new actress would be brought in to play Kate Kane. Even the statements from the production leaned that…
What if some dastardly villains with control over reality rewrote it to work in their favor, scattering the Legends of Tomorrow across reality in an attempt to make the world in their image and keep it that way? Only the Legends could rehash a plot from three seasons back and make it feel fresh and…
Sometimes, things don't work out the way you plan them. If you're a Legend, they almost never do, except when you turn into a giant Beebo monster to fight a time demon. Last week, the Legends drank from the chalice of Dionysus, imbuing them with the power of gods for one day. Just enough time to use…
It really speaks to the scrappy willpower of the entire Arrowverse cast and crew that the finales to these COVID-19-aborted seasons don't suck. In any other year that would be a back-handed compliment, but right now? It's genuine praise. Supergirl's finale is no exception. The show has struggled to maintain my interest this year even…
In the Arrowverse, Batman was such a ghost that not even the Green Arrow, ostensibly the world's first vigilante, knew about him. We didn't know Bruce Wayne existed until Arrow season 6, and it wasn't until the Elseworld's crossover a year later that we'd get confirmation that Batman himself existed. Now, though, Batwoman (watch it here) has…
Following the news that Ruby Rose quit Batwoman, speculation has run rampant as to why she did so. Now, we may have an answer. On Tuesday, a surprise announcement was made that Ruby Rose was departing Batwoman after only one season. The series was already renewed for season 2, and it will continue with a…

In a shocking announcement, Ruby Rose has revealed she is quitting the Batwoman series on The CW. On Tuesday afternoon, and with no advance warning, Rose announced that she would be departing Batwoman after only one season. “I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season,” Rose said in a…
How do you deliver a solid finale when a worldwide pandemic shuts down your production? Well, I guess we can look toward Batwoman. The CW's latest Arrowverse show has struggled throughout its freshman outing, but it manages to deliver a killer finale that leaves us with some great twists and cliffhangers. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 1,…
If one being from Greek mythology can exist in modern-day, why can't others? And if those beings need followers to have power, where would they get those followers? It's kind of a fun question to ask. And so, in a quest to gain temporary power to operate the loom, the team comes across perhaps the…
In the world of DC live-action characters, casting Bruce Wayne is a big deal. It's proof Batman exists. It's the possibility that we could see live-action Batman. And the CW's Batwoman capped off its first season with a huge moment despite the shortened episode count by showing us what the Bruce Wayne of the Arrowverse looks like.…
There are different advantages to filming shows in different ways. When NBC's Community was airing, it was filmed while the season aired; the show was able to respond to fans by doubling down on weirdness and certain character relationships. When a show like Westworld is filmed all at once, the actors and crew are able to…
While countries may slowly be lifting coronavirus restrictions, film and television productions still have a long way to go. That's clearly evident in the new schedule released by The CW for the upcoming season. On Wednesday, The CW released its 2020/2021 television season schedule, and it's very much about 2021. When the fall season rolls…
As I watch each Arrowverse show, I make little notes on my laptop. A few from this episode include notes like "Pete finds stuff almost immediately that no one was supposed to know about just by being a very good library man," and "J'onn and M'gann do a smooch." I have almost every plot beat…
Batwoman made a big promise last week. Since it started, the series has danced around the idea of bringing in Batman villains. We've heard mention of the Riddler, of Scarecrow. Luke even implied that the Joker is dead. But we haven't seen any of these iconic characters in the flesh--that is, until now. Last week…
