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

Batwoman's second season survives a soft reboot, maintaining the show's excellence while giving Javicia Leslie plenty of room to spread her wings.

"Batwoman" still too often feels like a talky soap opera with fight scenes, but these changes can add more depth to a show that's always tried to aim higher than the typical superhero stories.

The show seems to be in good hands with Javicia Leslie.

So far, Leslie's character provides some classic "fish out of water" levity to an otherwise self-serious superhero melodrama. That novice energy comes at some cost, however, to the series' established emotional dimensions.

2.5/5

Batwoman returns with a middling first episode, but Javicia Leslie has me excited for what's to come all the same.

5/10

At least Leslie has more of a personality than Rose, but the hand-me down nature of this transition is making for an awkward 'new' direction.

Ugh this stupid show. The first season was garbage and completely trashes the source material. Bruce Wayne trained for years and designed his suit and weapons. He also trained others with similar ideals to fight crime. He worked hard for years. Bringing in some nonsense cousin that he's never had his entire life was bad enough. Now we have some random girl who puts his suit on and bam she's Batwoman. It's an insult to Batman who worked hard for years and put his body through excruciating pain in order to train for what he was called to do. Even without the suit and weapons Bruce Wayne is still intelligent, cunning, and can fight better than anyone else. The ridiculous notion that Bruce Wayne would leave everything vulnerable is absurd. Alfred would protect it with his life and Bruce was a genius and had an impenetrable security system. Even without Alfred, Bruce would have left everything to his bat family; Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Barbara Gordon, Jason Todd, and Damian Drake. All of these people would have made sure his secret was safe. The writers of this show clearly just wanted to make a pandering show about a strong female character. So instead of doing a little work to find a true strong female character or better yet coming up with something original, tmade this crap up to ride the Batman name. The comic written about Bruce having a cousin did the same thing. The writer of that garbage wasn't creative enough to write their own story so they just ripped off the Batman story. It was the least popular comic book for the Batman series so making a show of it was a big mistake.

It's just bad. It looks cheap, and the script isn't any better. Won't be watching season 3.

Jun 17, 2022

Batman fan since kid here. This is canned crap, from the shelf to your screen. And with lots of wokeism inside as well, of course, of the sort that derails and deforms the universe lore, to satisfy the pretentious of the modern social warrior. Formidable bad.
