Stargirl – Season 1, episode 2 – Stargirl VS Brainwave

The 2nd episode of Stargirl has aired and we do see her in the costume and mask for the first time!

Also she does have a nice, perilous fight against Brainwave!

Preview:

And here is the video:

A good episode in my eyes.

Ok, I have my usual problems with these teenagers issues and all the fantasy stuff. But that are rather minor problems.

[SPOILERS ahead! Watch the episode first!]

[SPOILERS ahead! Watch the episode first!]

[SPOILERS ahead! Watch the episode first!]

The scenes with her trying to find Brainwave in her school while he was looking for her at the same time, was a nice secret identity peril scene.

Especially as he discovered her, saw her face and knew her name.

The fight against Brainwave was very good and you can see that they have a bigger (CGI-)budget as many shows from the Arrowverse for example.

For a moment I thought he would even go for her mask, even he already knew who she is. Luckily he is out of the game for now, so her secret identity is safe for now.

So her mask really provides her with a secret identity and isn’t just decoration. I do hope the the next villains will be interested in finding out who is under that mask.

And here are two promo pictures for episode 4, which will be aired on June 8:

Well, I must say, a pretty cool mask that really hides her face!

And it hides her so well, that from what I can see on these pictures….I thought the actress would be a teenager, but actually the actress is 27! 😆

But ok, Brec Bassinger who plays Stargirl is 21 and her character is 15. So will Wildcat be 15 in the show as well while Yvette Monreal is 27? Would be kind of….bizarre.

Well, I am very much looking forward to this one! On IMDB she is listed for all 13 episodes but no mention that she is Wildcat as well.

Hopefully she will be around for the rest of the season!

I wonder how these two will meet in costume. Surely they will fight together VS the villains. With two masked women I really hope for some unmasking action/peril in the season!

Have you seen the episode already?

How did you like it?

Stargirl – Season 1, episode 1 – Stargirl VS some punks

This is post 2 of 2 for today!

Another TV show with a masked heroine in the lead has started this week!

Stargirl debuted earlier this week and I wanna present the scene where she first puts on a mask and fights some punks.

She hasn’t her costume yet, so she has to improvise to save some kids from being bullied by some low lifes.

Preview:

And here is the video:

Yeah, a nice first scene with her.

I like that she realises that she should mask herself before getting into a fight with these punks.

In the near future she should have her iconic costume and regular mask as well.

Looking forward to see more of her!

So far the show is promising and well made, even I have my issues with it. The lead character is 15, so a teenager with all the usual problems that mostly annoy me on screen.

I hope that she will have a real secret identity (unlike Catwoman for example), even I have my doubts from some clues so far.

Looking forward to her masked allies as well.

I will post more scenes in the future!

What do you think of the show and this scene?

Batwoman: Casting news/rumors #1 – Wallis Day, Katy O’Brian, Peyton List?

This is post 1 of 2 for today!

After the smashing news that Ruby Rose has left the show more and more casting rumors are circling aroud the web.

Looks like the CW is (seemingly) looking for:

– an actress that already was/is on CW shows

– an actress that looks at least a little bit like Ruby

 – an actress from the LGBTQ community

– age and height are also criteria of course

– at least a good physical fitness ( I would say)

I read about some names quite often and wanna present the 3 of them that would fit in my opinion:

(without particular order)

Wallis Day

  • mostly known for her roles in Krypton and The Royals, Hollyoaks (no CW connections)
  • 25 years, 5ft 8 ½ (174 cm)
  • IMDB-link

(click to enlarge to full size)

Pros:

– a pretty tall woman, which would fit good to being a bad-ass vigilante (in my opinion)

– very young, a long perspective

– looks like she could be Alice’s sister

– LGBTQ (like the CW wants)

 

Minus:

– no CW connections so far

An artist already put her into the Batwoman cowl (an old version of it):

(click to enlarge)

— Link to the artist —

My opinion:

Haven’t seen her so on the screen so far, but certainly a really good choice as she fits in mosts criterias!

 

———————-

Katy M. O’Brian

  • Mostly known from her roles in Walking Dead, Z Nation and Black Lightning (CW)
  • Age: UNKWON(!?!), 5’7″ (1,70 m)
  • IMDB link

(click to enlarge to full size)

 

https://twitter.com/i/status/1264021013789962241

^^^ She can kick some serious ass! ^^^

Pros:

– has played in a CW show

– extremely fit! Would make a highly believable ass-kicking vigilante!

– LGBTQ (like the CW wants)

– age seemingly fits(?)

 

Minus:

– was already in an Arrowverse show. Even her character seems to not appear again in Black Lightning….it might look at least odd for some folks to see her in another role in the Arrowverse

– doesn’t really look much like she could be Alice’s sister

 

My opinion:

Another good fit, especially with her highly trained body!  The aspect that she played another character in an Arrowverse show…might be a problem?

—————————

 

Peyton List (Peyton E. List)

  •  mostly known for her roles 90210 (Lindsey Beckwith), The Tomorrow People (Cara Coburn), The Flash (Lisa Snart/Golden Glider)
    Charmed (Nadia) (all CW), Picard and Gotham
  •  33 years, 5ft 6 ½ (168 cm)
  • IMDB link

(click to enlarge)

Pros:

– has played in a CW show

– looks like she could be Alice’s sister

– age fits, height is ok too

 

Minus:

– LGBTQ (like the CW wants) ????

– fit enough ????

My opinion:

Some question marks remain! But she does fit in most criterias.

————-

Other names I read VERY often these days were Stephanie Beatriz and Rachel Skarsten.

I don’t think they would fit at all.

Beatriz is already 39, way too old for such a highly physical role in a TV show that should last some seasons. And she wouldn’t fit at all to Alice and Jacob.

And the idea of choosing Rachsel Skarsten to play 3 roles as Alice, Kate and Batwoman…is beyond absurd 😆

I am wondering how far they actually are in the re-casting process?

However it will be highly interesting to see who they choose!

I will keep you posted.

Any comments on the 3 above?

Or do you have another suggestion that fits in the criterias?

Batwoman Special – Ruby Rose has left the Batwoman show!

*EDIT*

(This text represents the knowledge on May 20 – They seemingly developing a new character for the role as Batwoman)

 

This will be a rather long text…but I just have a lot to say about the latest news on the Batwoman show.

I woke up some hours ago I turned on my phone for a quick check if something interesting happened while I was asleep.

Oh boy! My jaw dropped right to the floor! Really? Is that news for real? No joke? Oh my…..!!!!

As a HUGE fan of the show, this news hit me like a train. And that after the news from last week with the January start date and the final episode of the season.

The lead actress of the show is leaving after season 1?!

This is something verrrry unusual as this just (normally) doesn’t happen.

I can’t think of many examples where that has happened in a TV show. OK, for example…in the Spartacus tv-show the main actor was replaced, but because he was very ill, as he had cancer. Certainly not a case that compares to this one. I’m sure there are some other examples, but not really from TV shows that I follow/ have followed.

Here is the statement of Ruby:

I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season. This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles. I am beyond appreciative to Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created. Thank you Peter Roth and Mark Pedowitz and the teams at Warner Bros. and The CW who put so much into the show and always believed in me. Thank you to everyone who made season one a success – I am truly grateful.

Here is the statement of WB:

Warner Bros. Television, The CW and Berlanti Productions thank Ruby for her contributions to the success of our first season and wish her all the best. The studio and network are firmly committed to Batwoman’s second season and long-term future, and we — along with the show’s talented creative team — look forward to sharing its new direction, including the casting of a new lead actress and member of the LGBTQ community, in the coming months.

Well, there are no reasons given for why she has left the show. Right now I can only speculate:

– Was it because of her injuries that forced her to leave nearly all action scenes to the stunt team? That was denied by some sources.

– Was it because of all the hate the show receives from the trolls and haters? Maybe

– Was it because she doesn’t feel good working on a TV show instead of movies as it is quite the difference?

– Perhaps it was too expensive to keep her? I would say no, as these contracts are surely made for a long run and not only for one season.

– Was the network not happy about her in the role?

 

Well, I do hope that at some point we may get an answer to why she left, but I think that won’t happen anytime soon

Actually, there were some signs that something like that might happen.

Oddly enough I thought some months back about the possibility of a recast for her role. But quickly I thought that things like that don’t happen, so I discarded that thought quickly.

I was wondering why Ruby was doing so few promo events in the past months. I mean Nicole Kang, Camrus Johnson and Rachel Skarsten did make a lot of promo for the show…on their social media accounts, on takeovers on Instagram, promo videos on youtube and so on. And Ruby, as the lead actress….only showed up on rare occasions. OK, I thought about if she had some sort of clause in her contract that she doesn’t have to do such things. But I thought it was highly unusual.

Last week the CW released this promo image that I posted last week as well:

(click to enlarge)

And I was thinking: Is that really Rube Rose on that picture as Batwoman??? I still think it isn’t Ruby Rose!

Last week I thought: Ok, Ruby couldn’t come to this promo shot because of the pandemic and all. I thought this might just be a random woman that was taken for a quick promo picture and they thought that no one would notice with the cowl on her head. But with the news that Ruby leaves the show….this image was perhaps a big, fat sign of the things to come….

What do I think about Ruby and her part on the show?

Well, I’m a HUGE fan of the show as you should know by now. And I will remain a HUGE fan until the end of the show, no matter what happens.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of her being chosen for the role….at first. I mean in her roles in Meg, Resident Evil (Final chapter), XXX 3 and John Wick 2 her acting….was ok for me, but there was certainly room for improvement.

But I think the role really grew on Ruby and her acting improved over the season to a good level. Yet, Ruby always remained somehow in the shadow of Rachel Skarsten in my opinion. Ok, that may be because of the role as Alice is very different of course and offers a bigger variety.

I really like Ruby as an actress and as a human, but I am not a hardcore fan like so many seem to be (15 million followers on Instagram alone!).

What does this mean for the Batwoman show?

Well, it will be VERY ODD to see someone else in that role! But I am sure that I will get used to it when they drop all the promo images and vidoes ahead of season 2.

I hope that I am already “used” to the new actress when the new season starts.

The recast of Kate Kane/Batwoman is a BIG DANGER …..and A HUGE CHANCE at the same time!

Everything depends on WHO they actually choose for the role! It can get a disaster…..but it can also be also be a BIG chance!

WB and CW now have to be really careful of who to choose. 

*EDIT* After thinking about it for a while, I do understand the wish for an actress from the LGBTQ community, it makes sense and it will be an important sign.

I don’t have candidates right now, since I don’t know about 99% of the actresses if they are gay or not, as I don’t care about it.

My wishes for the casting would be like this:

– A rather tall and verrrrry well-trained actress, as it would fit really good to a crime-fighting vigilante (in my opinion)

– An actress with an already established fanbase that then follows the show as well (like with Ruby)

– A woman that looks at least a little bit like Ruby….so that the transition gets a little easier

Surely many of the trolls and haters that this show attracted with a lesbian, badass, jewish woman with short hair in the lead role….might celebrate this recast as some kind of “victory” of their pathetic, hateful, troll-agenda. But actually, if they cast wisely….this can turn into the stellar opposite….a smashing DEFEAT for those creatures.

It’s really sad how many folks are seemingly just on “social” media to spread their hateful opinions as they love to pull down others. But enough of that….

I know she won’t read it…but I just wanna thank Ruby Rose for all that she has put into this show. THANKS RUBY!

My limited English can’t really express how grateful I am for you being on the show. But you brought Batwoman and Kate Kane to life in your very own, unique way.

And whoever will follow your footsteps….you were the first Batwoman! I will never forget that 🙂

However, we will get a new actress for the role as Batwoman and Kate Kane and the show will continue!

Ruby Rose has left the show….but BATWOMAN will return!

*EDIT*

There has been a new article, that might why she did it:

https://tvline.com/2020/05/20/ruby-rose-batwoman-season-2-departure-scoop

Hard to say if that’s the truth unless it will be confirmed by someone.

Batwoman Special – Preview for the final episode of season 1 ….and more

Post 2 out of 2 for today!

I mostly recovered from the shock that Batwoman’s second season starts in January 2021 instead of the fall later this year.

Due to the Corona virus they simply can’t shoot soon enough to keep the usual fall start of (most of) their Arrowverse shows.

(click to enlarge)

 

On the good side CW president Mark Pedowitz mentioned that they -nonetheless- intend to give the Arrowverse shows “full” seasons with up to 22 episodes.

Normally the CW shows which start in January only get up to 13 episodes so they would be all aired before the summer.

Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow starting even later in “midseason” which should be in March/April.

If these two will get short seasons with only 13 episodes….the other Arrowverse shows which start 2 or 3 months earlier in January…should have more episodes as they simply have more time to air episodes. IF all of these shows end around the same time which they should.

So, if Batwoman’s second season would get a full season with around 20 episodes, it would air until July or even August.

Of course I would love as many episodes as possible in this second season.

I would be already ok with 16 episodes….but 18 or more episodes would be really great!

To have to wait 3 months longer for new episodes is one bad thing.

But….IF we get a (nearly) full season after all, I would be very happy!

In the end the most important aspect is how many episodes the season will actually get.

———————-

 

Let’s focus on the final episode of the show, which will be shown on the CW today (starting tomorrow on the app/cw site)!

Here is the trailer:

With the knowledge of the last episodes, the synopsis and pictures for this final episode of the season…..this should become a worthy, tragic, emotional finale to this season!

What will Alice, Hush and Mouse do? Are they ALL willing to kill Batwoman?

Why do the Crows capture Mary?

Why is Kate crying? Something really horrible must have happened! Was she unmasked by the Crows? Was someone hurt or even killed that she cares for?

Will Sophie and Julia be able to save Batwoman (if needed)?

What’s with the kryptonite? Will it be used in some weapon? How will the villains get kryptonite?

Will someone not survive the episode?

I am soooo thrilled about this episode! I am expecting a tragic and dramatic episode with a solid cliffhanger at the end.

Also I’m sad about it….just as it is the last new Batwoman episode for nearly 8 months.

My favorite scenes from the trailer:

(cropped images from the trailer – click to enlarge)

 

A cat burglar and the waving cat [great heist scene in “Dr. Who”]

Post 1 out of 2 for today!

This one is a great example of perfection and complete failure can be found in just some minutes of a video.

We have a sexy cat burglar who breaks into a museum to steal a very valuable chalice.

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

And here is the video:

First of all …some bad aspects:
Who created the heist scene?
Museum guards with assault rifles? Isn’t that a BIT much? Why not bazookas too?
A laser system that goes around that chalice, which is open at the top(!?!)….and completely useless/unnecessary IF you have 4(!) guards with assault rifles(!) standing around it.
None of the guards is watching the guarded object! WTF??????
All of the guards are completely deaf! No one hears anything from what is happening one foot behind them (she moves very quietly…but she must make at least some noise)!
No one seems to check the cameras that there are in such a museum! (and would spot her immediately)
And worst of all:
She UNMASKS herself …as she is still in the museum!!!
A very BAD move my dear! (cameras and guards she could run into)

But, on the GOOD side:
She looks great with and without the mask!
The mask fits perfectly and is a perfect disguise as well. It is also greatly secured as the leather jacket “covers” the lower end. Her leather outfit is great. 🙂
I love these flat, over-knee leather boots…realistic AND quite sexy.
It’s good how she is cornered on the streets (even without a mask) and it is so difficult to escape for her.

Now imagine how EPIC this scene would be…..IF (the “Maskripper version” of this scene):
She steals the chalice.
She runs into some guards (while still masked), let’s say three.
They don’t have assault rifles (lol) …they have batons.
She puts her great martial arts skills to good use and delivers a real battle even against all three of them.
She kicks them, uses leg scissors, punches, throws.
They get more and more angry and embarrassed that one woman seems to be able to fight against all 3 of them.
They start to coordinate the attacks better.
Two grab her arms and fixate her.
The third: “Let’s see how this feisty one looks underneath her mask”
He reaches for her mask, stretching it, playing with it slowly, enjoying it.
The cameras zooms in on her face. The desperation in her eyes. She grunts and moans, trying to break free.
Her mask is getting loose slowly.
“NO! STOP that!…..NO!”. She is on the brink of panic.
Finally, she manages to kick the guard who is still playing with her mask, he falls on his back.
She struggles hard to break free from the other two. One of them is reaching for her mask. Touching the fabric. (slow-motion).
In that moment she kicks the other one off her side.
Immediately she uses her free hand to grab into her mask, stopping the unmasking. She kicks him too.
All three attack her, she dodges around and the battle continues.
2 are down by now.
The last guard grabs her from behind, pulling her very close.
“You fought very well, but I won’t let you escape. …. especially not with your mask on!”
He starts to yank on her mask as she hits him right in the face with her back head. He falls on his back with a bloody nose.
“I rather keep it on!”
More guards are closing in.
The camera zooms in on her sexy boots as she runs away.

*EDIT* February 2024:

Batwoman Season 2 news…..

…and really bad ones this time:

Season 2 of Batwoman starts in January…not in the fall as planned. DAMN Corona!!!!!

Supergirl and Legends are starting even later….in “midseason”…I guess around March/April.

The cat burglar and James Bond

This is post 2 of 2 for today!

Ok, it’s not a James Bond movie, but this video has Pierce Brosnan in it 😉

Thanks to the friendly guy who recommended this episode!

We have a cat burglar who sneaks into an art gallery and Mr. Bond (a version of him).

What will happen? Check out the preview pictures and the video!

Here is the video:

Sorry for the forced subtitles, they were embedded, so I had to use them.

The heist is pretty hilarious, she manages to deactivate two alarm systems, but there was another one and either the painting was too heavy or she was afraid she wouldn’t make it out in time anymore.

It’s fun how she sneaks into his apartment and changes into the bathrobe and embarrases him in front of his partner(?).

Honestly I have never seen a complete episode of this TV show.

Masks Off #40! – One of the weirdest unmaskings in comic history! [Batwoman]

Today, this is post 1 of 2 for today!

First I wanna present one of the weirdest unmaskings in comic history!

In this old comic Kathy Keene is married to Bruce Wayne and wants to assist him as a crime fighter.

She puts on a Batman costume she fixed so that it would fit her and becomes the first Batwoman.

But soon there is trouble….

(click to enlarge the image to full size)

Well, that is weird for quite some reasons!

Seemingly her cowl isn’t attached to her cape! Why is that? And it just flies away? It doesn’t tear or rip?

This way it looks like her cowl was some kind of hat without a chin strap or a connection to the cape.

And you clearly see the age of this comic, she is a rather helpless woman, stumbles on the scene, calls Batman “darling”, gets unmasked and thereby ruins his carreer as well…just in a matter of seconds.

The current Batwoman (from the comics and the TV show) was a highly modified version of this one and debuted in 2006.

 

I used to know from which comic issue this was taken….

Can someone who knows help out here? I would add that info to the post.

And now I wanna present a newer and modified version that focuses on the UNMASKING from a talented artist made on DeviantArt:

(click to enlarge)

In this one the whole cape flies away, what makes at least a lot more sense!

However “unmasked by a wind machine” is still a very ODD unmasking type 😉

You should check out more of his work, as he focuses on masked heroines and their unmaskings:

What do you think of this unmasking and the different version of this scene?

Batwoman Special – Preview for the last two episodes of the season

Only two more episodes of Batwoman, and there is a trailer for the next episode on sunday available and also synopsises and promo pictures for both episodes!

And especially the trailer and the promo pictures offer a lot of highly interesting questions!

I only present official promo material, but I present my ideas about what might happen….

…So….. POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!

Let’s start with episode 19 that will air on Sunday 10th:

Trailer:

The synopsis:

CRACKING THE CODE – When members of Gotham’s intelligentsia begin disappearing, Commander Kane (Dougray Scott), Sophie (Meagan Tandy) and the Crows go searching for the newest homicidal threat to the city. In the meantime, Kate (Ruby Rose) is consumed with someone’s betrayal and starts questioning the loyalty of everyone around her just when she needs them most. So when Luke (Camrus Johnson) and Julia (guest star Christina Wolfe) go missing, Batwoman must rely on Mary (Nicole Kang) and a former foe to deploy her rescue mission. Meanwhile, Alice (Rachel Skarsten) enlists Tommy Elliot (guest star Gabriel Mann) to help acquire an elusive item that her sister also seeks. Greg Beeman directed the episode written by Jerry Shandy and Kelly Larson (#119). Original airdate 5/10/2020.

Promo pictures:

http://batwomantv.com/new-batwoman-stills-feature-hush/

————————–

Episode 20 will air on Sunday 17th:

There is no trailer for the final episode yet, as they are released when one episode was aired.

But the synsopis and the promo pictures are VERY interesting!

The synopsis:

SEASON FINALE – When one of Gotham’s former heroes returns to his old stomping grounds to settle a score, both Batwoman (Ruby Rose) and Commander Kane (Dougray Scott) find themselves on the defensive. Meanwhile, Alice (Rachel Skarsten) has uncovered what could finally take down Batwoman, but she is losing hold on her henchman Mouse (guest star Sam Littlefield) and Hush (guest star Gabriel Mann), sending her spiraling into her most wicked self. Luke (Camrus Johnson) immediately focuses on finding a way to protect Batwoman from Alice, and Mary (Nicole Kang) has a chance to be the sister Kate has needed all along. New information surfaces, forcing Julia (guest star Christina Wolfe) to warn Sophie (Meagan Tandy) about the person pulling the strings. And in a final standoff, when Commander Kane refuses to retreat from his war on Batwoman, Kate may find herself more than heartbroken by her father’s choices. Amanda Tapping directed the episode written by Holly Henderson and Don Whitehead (#120). Original airdate 5/17/2020.

Promo pictures:

http://batwomantv.com/batwoman-season-finale-photos-o-mouse/

 

>>> So, if you combine all these infos together, a LOT of questions can be asked! <<<

– What are the goals of Hush, Alice and Mouse? Seems that the are different. And I guess that Hush and Mouse do wanna hunt down Batwoman! And Alice doesn’t want that, even Kate locked her up in Arkham, I’m sure she doesn’t want Kate to be killed. Also Alice and Mouse know who Batwoman is! Will they tell Hush? Or will he find out about Kate Kane’s night job on his own? What will happen with Mouse? The last episode is called “O, Mouse!” and I somehow have a strong feeling that Mouse won’t survive, as Alice might have to choose between Mouse and her sister. I’m sure that Mouse will be a thread to Batwoman and that she will side with her sister in the end.

– What happens between Batwoman and Jacob? It clearly seems that they collide and Jacob now really does want Batwoman to be taken down! What will happen? Will he find out who Batwoman is under that mask? I wouldn’t be totally surprised if he will even die in the season finale as it is mentioned how heartbroken Kate is! But I would rather say that he will survive….And I would love if Jacob would at least try to unmask Batwoman! I don’t want Kate to tell him her secret…..that would be really the worst solution.

– What kind of weapon can be found in that journal? Seemingly it is a BIG danger to Batwoman. Why does Alice want it? Why is Julia and her mysterious contact after it?

– Who is Julia working for? Is it Safiyah? That might be the safest bet….

– The promo pictures indicate that both Julia and Luke gets kidnapped! They may want Luke for decoding the journal….but what do they want with Julia?

– Who is that former hero of Gotham that the synopsis for episode 20 is mentioning? Of course my dream scenario would be Batgirl….but that chance is slim….very slim. But what about her father? I think the chances are not too bad that Jim Gordon will show up! Or will it be one of the other vigilantes from the Bat-family? I hope the trailer for the episode will show us something!

– Why is Parker in the Batcave? I guess she will try to decode that journal too….but therefore team Batwoman would need to get it first.

– What will happen between Julia, Sophie and Kate? Kate wasn’t happy about seeing them together in the trailer….

– Also what about Reagan? Will Kate forgive her? Will Magpie show up again?

Oh man, I expect a lot of twists and tragedy from these last two episodes of the season!

And hopefully a BIG, nail-biting cliffhanger!

Can’t wait!

The masked, female ninja-assassin strikes! [Masked villainess]

Another scene I can present thanks to a nice user!

In this one, we have some rich guy who cleary’s has some enemies that would like him to “disappear”.

He feels that he would be safe high up in his headquarter, but a masked woman sneaks closer and she is not a nice visitor…..

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

And here is the video:

Well, not the nicest visitor for sure! 😉

As much as I like such masked, female assassins, It’s a pitty that we hardly see her (masked) face while she is in that costume.

And I would think it’s not the best idea to “hang around” a room, where you shoot an explosive arrow into it. The blast should be quite dangerous. But the idea behind this “indirect” attack is nice.

The “unmasking” is in this case a little ….odd….as she pulls off her complete (upper-)outfit with one pull, incl. her mask.

In my version she would have had battled some security guards as she was trying to escape. And these security guards would have been curious to see how is under that mask.

But she would have fought them off in the end.

Off course it’s a nice bonus when Tia Carrere undress and reveals such a bathing suit!

Sadly she doesn’t appear again in that ninja outfit in the episode.

Wanna know from which episode this was taken?

Fun fact: I posted another scene with Tia Carrere from the same TV show, but she had another role in that one!

Funny, the same actress plays two different masked(!) women in the same TV show 🙂

Here is the other scene:

What do you think about that scene?

Feel welcome to leave a comment!

 

P.S.:

Remember the Batwoman episode “If you believe in me, I’ll believe in you” is airing tonight!

And Batwoman surely is in deep trouble, judging from the pictures I posted already last week:

So, if you have the chance…tune into the CW today when the episode airs!
