0 on Batwoman 3x08 - 3x11 Review - The Poison Ivy ArcYou can try to avoid it, but eventually it'll get you. Despite being careful, I finally came down with COVID-19, and it knocked me out of writing for almost two weeks in January. While I'm pretty much caught up on other shows, Batwoman fell by the wayside. Instead of doing full reviews for each, we're going…
There's a right way to interrogate the legacy of Batman and his army of adversaries in Gotham City, and there are hundreds of wrong ways. Batwoman is stumbling through the idea with a weird premise: none of these villains are responsible for who they are. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 3, Episode 7, "Pick Your Poison."…
Mary Hamilton was one of the smartest characters on Batwoman throughout Season 1. After joining the team formally, though, she's been somewhat sidelined. Now, as the Poison Ivy infection takes over, it could be her chance to be a more active character... or a tragic mishandling of one of Batman's most fun villains. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 3,…
This week's episode of Batwoman is both disappointing and intriguing. On the one hand, it mangles yet another Batman villain, but it also introduces a potentially interesting new take on another. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 3, Episode 5, "A Lesson from Professor Pyg." "A Lesson from Professor Pyg" Let's go over who Professor Pyg is…
Some of my favorite Batwoman moments have been when the show gets truly macabre. Each of the CW superhero shows, despite being in a shared universe and sharing a lot of visual styles, and has its own look. Batwoman has a darker tone than other shows in the lineup overall, and is at its best when…
Batwoman continues to root through Batman's history, mining it for ideas and struggling to find anything to do with it. We've been through the Mad Hatter and Killer Croc, and now it's time for Mr. Freeze. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 3, Episode 3, "Freeze." "Freeze" LEFT OUT IN THE COLD – An unfortunate incident in downtown…
Batwoman Season 3 is covering a lot of ground already, but doing so at a breakneck pace that threatens to do a disservice to some of Batman's many villains. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 3, Episode 2, "Loose Tooth." "Loose Tooth" A BITING CHANCE — When a new incarnation of Gotham’s swamp slumming Killer Croc…
Batwoman and Titans are two very different takes on Batman mythology that nevertheless run into the same problem: Telling a Batman story without Batman in it is really tough, and the writers have to contend with how to handle Batman's vast rogues' gallery without it feeling like fanservice. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 3, Episode 1, "Mad as a…
Coming off a streak of solid episodes that set up lots of fun dominoes to knock over, Batwoman's Season 2 finale had everything going for it. The news that series co-star Dougray Scott was unceremoniously leaving the show ahead of Season 3, though, came out the morning after the finale and it feels kind of apiece…
Batwoman Season 2 had a rough start, thanks almost entirely to the sudden departure of star Ruby Rose at the end of season 1. Her replacement, Javicia Leslie, was dealt a bum deal; she had to reboot a known character and pick up the pieces of a season that ended before it was meant to.…
When you start asking "how would this character behave" instead of "what cliffhanger would get people amped up," suddenly a show can start becoming interesting and engaging. I'm not ready to say that Batwoman is doing that intentionally, but the last few weeks have the show moving toward a more interesting path. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season…
When shows rip stories from the headlines, it's usually an easy recipe for an eyeroller of an episode. Sometimes, though, the story is so elemental and emotional that you can't help but get wrapped up in it. Spoilers follow for Batwoman Season 2, Episode 15, "Armed and Dangerous." "Armed and Dangerous" Last week presented us with a…
Add another suit to the Batcave as Camrus Johnson is suiting up as Batwing for season 2 of Batwoman. The CW shared the first images on Tuesday of Johnson in his full Batwing costume. “Honestly, it’s hard to explain how much it means to me to wear the Batwing suit and officially play my first…
