Three years after Batman mysteriously disappeared, Gotham is a city in despair, and it's under the watch of Jacob Kane and his military-grade Crows Private Security, which now protects the city with omnipresent firepower and militia. When the Alice in Wonderland gang targets the firm, Kane's daughter Kate returns home, deciding that if she wants to help her family and her city, she'll have to become the one thing her father loathes -- a dark knight vigilante. With the help of her stepsister Mary and the crafty Luke Fox, the son of Wayne Enterprises' tech guru Lucius Fox, Kate Kane continues the legacy of her missing cousin, Bruce Wayne. Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate soars through the shadowed streets of Gotham as Batwoman.

Critics Consensus

Though it needs more time to develop its own identity to truly soar, Batwoman's fun and stylish first season is a step in the right direction for representation and superhero shows alike.

I'll admit that Batwoman isn't the best show I've ever watched... Yet, I still feel protective of the series and its actors.

Entertainment Weekly

Batwoman's second episode doesn't do much to fix the issues that emerged in the pilot, but its willingness to throw caution to the wind with plot feels in line with the other Arrowverse shows. I'm still not hooked, but I'll stick around for more.

Guardian

Maybe when things improve a bit, or we get used to a new normal, it will be possible to care about the fact that Batwoman's plot is ridiculously slight, that her character is woefully underdeveloped and overtly presented as the real Batman's stand-in.

Rated: 2/5

Overall, the show isn't too bad and has a similar look and feel of many of the other shows in the Arrowverse so it's not a complete departure of the tried and true.

Rated: 3.5/5

The Herald (Ireland)

Batwoman is more a patchwork of influences than a series with its own identity, but a late twist suggests it might yet find its feet.

What Culture

It's a unique offering that has so much more to say than its trailers suggested and, with a little room to grow, all that potential could carry it to greatness.

Honestly I don’t understand the hate this show gets. It’s one of my all-time favorites. The twists and turns are so exciting and Alice is such a cool character. I love her character arc so much.

Went through season 1 on Alice alone. Skarsten is really charming and a great actor. Otherwise it was horrendous!

It's just bad. It looks cheap, and the script isn't any better.

It's one of those shows that acts like "Gritty / Noir" just means a lack of any emotion at all.
