As the filming of season 3 of Batwoman is already underway, we get more casting news!
Creegan will play Marquis Jet. A sexy playboy who grew up in a lavish lifestyle, Marquis is too charming for his own good and wields his power with a ne’er do well attitude. He views life as one big joke and that sense of recklessness has a tendency to clash horribly with his no-nonsense mother Jada Jet. When he meets Ryan (Leslie), he sees in her a like-minded young go-getter who like him is just waiting for the right opportunity to make his mark on Gotham.
Will be interested to see what he is up to and how that will most likely collide with Ryan and Batwoman’s plans! I guess he might become some sort of villain in the season.
So, what’s interesting about this “Nightwatchman” character in this TV show? And how it is relevant to this blog?
Well, what only some folks in the show will find out is…that this masked vigilante is actually a WOman. So the correct title would be NightwatchWOman 😉
I keep referring to her as the “Nightwatchman” because it is the name of the vigilante.

This one is actually one of the very best recommendations that were ever made to me! THANKS a LOT!
It will lead to an entry in the “Hall of Fame” in the next weeks 🙂
I somehow totally missed this TV show and in the end, the recommendation lead to me buying every three seasons of it on Blu-ray.
Each season has “only” 13 episodes but they greedily split each season into 2 blu-ray boxes with just 2 discs each. So I had to buy 6 Blu-ray boxes to get all 3 seasons.
But since the show isn’t new anymore…it wasn’t very expensive (besides the very last box).
This one is another perfect example while I love such characters in (long) TV shows. You really get connected to these characters and every scene has much more intensity for me than it would have if the character would just appear in some minutes during a random video. The character has much more depth and I am much more interested in what will happen to him/her throughout the show.
Yeah, it costs a lot of time to watch all these episodes, but it was more than worth it in the end. And not only for the Nightwatchman scenes, I enjoyed the whole show quite a lot…especially seasons 1 and 2.
–
In total, I have not fewer than 7 scenes with the Nightwatchman, today I wanna present the first two.
Here is the first scene as an appetizer….
Preview, scene 1:
Robin Hood chases…
…the mysterious masked vigilante known as “Nightwatchman” (and nearly impossible to get on a proper screenshot in this scene)
Even this video with less than 2 minutes wasn’t welcome on Youtube, so I had to go with plan B…. even that means that I have to make these posts without any videos on my Youtube channel. 🙁
–
Yeah, not much to see her as we get only some glimpses on the Nightwatchman.
But it is her first appearance and her background is explained to Robin and us.
And the next scene will be verrrrry interesting 😉
————————–
Preview, scene 2:
Lurking in the woods (and with leaves blocking the camera)
Let’s start with the costume: At that time only very few sexy fabrics were invented/in use.
I think they make a LOT out of the available materials. I like her leather top that….if you get a good look…. clearly gives away that the Nightwatchman is a woman ;-), even she tries her best that no one notices that with her costume.
I LOVE that she really takes a great effort to hide her identity. Actually, her whole masquerade has 3 items! The hood hides her hair, the rather big eye mask is concealing her face alongside the scarf that covers the lower part of her face.
She has so much to lose if someone would figure out who she is, and she does everything she can to protect her secret identity. A+
If you have seen at least one of the 3652 (or so) Robin Hood movies…you know that Marian is his big love. And that makes his reaction to the unmasking so pleasing to me.
He thinks the Nightwatchman is some kind of murderer (“he” is not) and finds Marian under these masks…. I love such a constellation!
The unmasking is filmed quite….odd. He pulls back her hood …but then she quickly decides to unmask herself completely. Well, it makes sense as they know and love each other (most of the time). As she realizes that there is no escape for her, she rather unmasks herself than letting him do it.
I would have rather preferred her to defend her mask and to put up a fight in a scene before he pins her to the ground, but well she will have some thrilling fights with others ;-).
And this was only the beginning…soon the evil “Guy of Gisborne” will try everything to stop the Nightwatchman.
Guy is also in love with Marian….. and really HATES the Nightwatchman at the same time.
Again…I LOVE such constellations! 😉

Wanna know from which episode of which show this is?
I’m a little late with sharing the news, so it’s about time to make a post here with all the relevant news of this week (so far)!
1 – Filming for season 3 of Batwoman started on July 19
I hope that the Covid restrictions are now less of a problem as they affected the filming of action and intimate scenes in season 2.
So far it’s unknown (to the public) how many episodes will be made, of course, I hope for as many episodes as possible 😉
—
2 – Victoria Cartagena has been cast for the role of Renee Montoya [Batwoman, season 3]
Victoria played the same role in the Gotham TV show and now she returns to the role in the upcoming season 3 of Batwoman.
At IMDB she is listed for 22 episodes in the Gotham TV show, but in 15 of those as “credits only”.
I do hope that her role in the Batwoman show will be a little bigger.
Also, it will be interesting to see how her relationship with Batwoman/Ryan will be. Will she find out that Ryan is Batwoman? Will she work alongside Batwoman? Will they even become a couple?
I predict a sure “yes” to the first two questions. Not so sure about the other one… 😉
So far I haven’t seen much of Victoria….but that will now change very soon.

3 – Leslie Grace will play Batgirl in the upcoming HBO Max Batgirl movie
This movie is in development for the last 400 years (feels like it) and now it finally has an actress for the leading role!
Leslie Grace will take the double role as Barbara Gordon and Batgirl.
On her own Twitter channel, she describes herself as “Singer/Songwriter” and “Sony Music Latin Artist”.
Her IMDB entry is very short as she has little acting experience…so far.
I have never seen her on-screen, but I will check out some of her music videos for sure in the upcoming days.
Looking forward to seeing how she will look and act in the role of Barbara Gordon and Batgirl.
I do hope that she doesn’t get one of the newer purple Batgirl costumes….but I have a bad feeling about it.
A talented artist on Instagram already put her in the Batgirl costume from the Arkham video games which would be my favorite choice:
This one came out of nowhere and was a great, pleasant surprise for me!
It was recommended to me by a nice guy just hours before I would have founded it myself on a website that I check once or twice a day.
As these two TV show episodes have so much interesting content I will make 2 posts about it with 4 videos in total.
And even these 2 pots won’t cover all the great scenes but certainly the best ones.
So, in this episode, a (lesbian) teenager and her two dads move into an infamous murder house.
Of course, they don’t believe in the stories that are told about the house….but that will change 😉
Preview, Scene 1:
Scarlett makes a discovery….
….a rather unusual one!
She is intrigued and wants to try it on!
But she soon discovers…

And here is the video:
–
Well, certainly a highly unusual, interesting, and sexy scene!
A little background knowledge: In season 1 of “American Horror Story” there was the so-called Rubberman who was one of the evil spirits/ghosts(?) of the mansion. Now this spirit tries to take control over the girl. Then it also makes sense that a suit that was formally worn by a man now fits a small woman. There are some evil forces in play here.
What is really great about this scene is how she transforms from these very unsexy clothes into this very sexy Rubberwoman. At least that’s how she is called in the episode title. I know that latex and rubber are similar but still, I wouldn’t call her catsuit a rubber suit as it is clearly latex for me. But well, seemingly ….for some…. rubber and latex are two words for the same thing.
However, at first, she practically wears the ugliest and unsexy clothes I can imagine. A big sweater, a wide pants-overall (don’t know if that’s the correct word), and sneakers. Then she hastily discards that outfit as she is pretty excited about the suit she found. She enjoys wearing it, but then sees the image of the Rubberman in the mirror and freaks out…of course.
She discards the sexy outfit.
But well….spoiler alert…..it will find its way back into the house 😉
–
Scene 2:
Scarlett is annoyed about the restrictions her dads put up on her internet access (she is into pretty violent porn….no joke!).
Suddenly she hears the closet door moving….
Preview:
Getting ready for action!
Wow! Some pretty scary eyes 😉
That didn’t go too well…
(click to enlarge)
–
And here is the video:
–
Well….WOW!
I love how she dresses up for her little prank, enjoying it big time!
A little odd that her dads didn’t notice her fully black eyes. Ok, perhaps they were too distracted by the latex 😉
Love how she starts to laugh and unmasks in front of them.
I actually don’t think that she cut him by accident. He wanted to TEAR the latex suit of her…which is a pretty….well…. odd approach …as he is basically sexually assaulting his daughter!
She loves her new suit and the feeling it gives her…and she defends it as he tries to damage it. I think that’s why she cut him, to stop him from doing that.
In my version, she would still be masked and he would heroically attack her, going for her mask. His hand would be yanking on the latex, trying to unmask her. Then she would cut him to stop him.
And then, after she sees he is wounded… she would finally unmask herself. 😉
–
I have two more scenes ready for upload in a future post, most likely in two weeks.
If you have the chance to watch the full episodes…I can only encourage you to do that as she is in that catsuit for around 17 minutes in total!!!
Also, there are quite a lot of scenes where she puts that mask on or off!
She is in the first two 2 episodes of this new show:
A new spin-off TV show of the most successful TV show “American Horror Story” which is going in its 10th season later this year!
–
I was really sad when I found out that she is only in the first two episodes as the concept of this show is to have different stories and characters in each episode of the season.
At least she was in two episodes as the first two episodes are a 2 parter.
Thanks to a nice guy I stumbled onto this pretty new gem!
In this video Ghost-Spider (aka former Spider-Gwen) pursuits the Jackal who has special plans for her!
Preview:
Everything is fine for Ghost-Spider until…..
….she is tied up!
A hand is reaching….
…for her MASK!

And here is the video:
…sorry, had to remove it…..you are too late…
–
WATCH the video before you continue!
I like a LOT about this scene!
Ghost-Spider has a great mask that disguises her perfectly. It’s pretty uncool that the Jackal knows her secret identity already…DAMN! But it’s really great how he traps her with these “restraints” and how she fights against them. The unmasking is done very well and I love her annoyed expression as he yanks the mask away from her head, exposing Gwen’s face underneath.
Such good quality unmaskings are pretty rare in movies/TV shows so I think this is one of the best new scenes from this year for sure!
As a little BONUS, I made a screenshot of every important frame of the unmasking 😉
Click on the spoiler + below and the gallery will be revealed….
Yeah, Robin does join the show in season 3, but not “that” Robin…..
It was announced yesterday that Robin Givens will play “Jada Jet” as a new series REGULAR:
“A powerful CEO for Jet Industries, Jada isn’t bossy: she’s the boss. Passionate and hard-working, a woman who has worked her way through life’s ups and downs to climb her way to the top — all while being extremely protective over her impetuous son. A woman with a deep past that forced her to give up her first-born child, Jada is a woman with a good heart, but will do whatever it takes to protect her family.
Well, that sounds a LOT like she will also be Ryan’s birth mom….AND….that Ryan seemingly also has a brother! Hard to say how big his role will be.
Will be very interesting to see why her mother abandoned Ryan! Hope there is a really interesting story behind all that…..
Here we have the masked villainess Ultraviolet in a fight VS Sue Dearbon in her awesome catsuit!
This season the Flash didn’t offer many highlights for me. A lot of episodes with uninteresting plots. Iris wasn’t seen in pantyhose and/or boots the whole season so far.
No masked villainesses or heroines.
In the episode before this one, this started to change a bit as Sue and her awesome catsuit were in a scene where she breaks into a well-secured building.
To my frustration, she broke in there without wearing a mask! Good plan! Walk into there and perhaps a security guard or a camera can see your face….. and you are screwed BIG time!
I yelled at my TV but that didn’t change anything 😆
Especially odd, since she was wearing a full face mask (impersonating another person) in an episode last season(link).
And otherwise, I would certainly have posted about it here with a video.
Luckily, one episode later we get Sue and her awesome catsuit AND the masked villainess Ultraviolet who shows up here and there throughout the show.
Yeah, Allegra is also in the scene but without adding much fun to it….even the fight scenes are decent.
Preview:
Ultraviolet
VS Sue (and her awesome catsuit!)
…and yeah, Allegra was there as well

And here is the video:
–
I added two short scenes to the one longer scene in the coffee shop to give Sue …and her awesome catsuit 😉 …a little more screentime!
They have a couple of more scenes in the episode as well! But I choose these scenes as my highlights.
If Sue would combine a cowl on that catsuit….that would be FANTASTIC! Perhaps made of the same material as her suit…or latex…or rubber.
What we have here is already pretty great …in my opinion. Of course, a nice unmasking would add a lot to it, but unfortunately, they both already know who is hiding underneath that mask.
But finally, this was a Flash episode that really was interesting again! At least Sue seems to stay on the show as she mentions that she will stay in Central City for a while. And perhaps she might have another scene with a mask as well.
So…hopefully this won’t be the last time I post about season 7 of the Flash!
