Batwoman (Arrowverse)

Batwoman news, October 3rd [BIG news!]

by

After my last post on the Batwoman show there wasn’t much to report in the the days that followed.

That changed…a LOT… in the last hours.

–

1) Two days ago I already made a page for Batwoman – Season 1. You can find it above with the other pages.

There you will find my reviews (with ratings for “General” and “Mask action”) of the episodes together with pictures I took.

–

2) For starters.. a short “behind the scenes” video:

–

And NOW, a most interesting trailer with a LOT of NEW footage (surely from episodes 2, 3 and 4):

I watched it 4 or 5 times and I’m verrrry hyped. Pretty much like the day as the season order was announced!

Finally new footage of the show! And, of course, my favorite parts are the ones with Batwoman in her “normal” cowl with the red wig. Now people won’t confuse her with Batman anymore, even on a longer distance.

And I really love the dark atmosphere of the show -as some mentioned already- it looks like Arrow in the early seasons.

–

3) Selected pictures from the trailer (watch it first!):

(click on the image to enlarge it to full size)

–

4) Casting news

It was finally revealed who will play Hush/Thomas Elliot (in episode 3) and Magpie (in episode 4):

It will be Gabriell Mann and Rachel Matthews. (Links to their IMDB pages)

You can find pictures of them in their roles on this “TV Line” article (won’t use these exclusive pictures here):

TV Line

–

5) A hint for possible “unmasking action” …of any kind….in episode 3.

As you can read in the TV Line article linked above:

…”And yet Tommy — who in DC Comics lore adopts the mantle Hush — harbors a deadly chip on his shoulder, one which will put Kate’s secret identity at risk.“

That sounds reallllly interesting! I wonder how this “deadly chip” can do that? And why is this chip on his shoulder? Endless possibilities.

I am looking forward HOW her secret identity is in danger! This will be fun 🙂

6) A few selected new images:

Well, that should be it for now.

Batwoman starts in … 3 DAYS!!!

Batwoman news, September 24th

by

Time for an update on the Batwoman TV show!

The CW hasn’t officially published any new teasers or trailers, but they gave away some really interesting info!

–

1) Erica Durance (as Lois Lane (one version of her?)) and Tom Welling (as Superman (one version of him?)) will be part of the upcoming crossover in december and january.

Certainly GREAT news for any real fans of Smallville. Personally I do like to see them in the crossover, but I am no hardcore Smallville fan, so these news doesn’t motivate me to jump around the room. But, it will be really cool to see Erica Durance again, because she is my favorite Lois Lane so far.

–

2) All the episode titles until episode 7 has been released by now [very small SPOILERS]:

Episode 1.01 – Pilot

 Episode 1.02 – The Rabbit Hole
Episode 1.03 – Down, Down, Down
Episode 1.04 – Who Are You?

Episode 1.05 – Mine Is a Long and Sad Tale
Episode 1.06 – I’ll Be Judge, I’ll Be Jury
Episode 1.07 – Tell Me the Truth

Ok, “The Rabbit Hole” clearly points in direction of Alice (played by Rachel Skarsten) who will be the big troublemaker for Batwoman (and Kate?) in season 1 (at least).

My personal favorite is “Who are you?”. It is much likely that Kate asks that question herself….but I do hope that someone asks Batwoman this question.

Someone who is really motivated to find out who is under that mask of Batwoman 😉

We will see in about 6 weeks (when episode 4 airs)

–

3) The synopsis of the Pilot episode has been released.

And it seems like they send the synopsis for each episode 3 weeks before it airs.

I’m not sure right now, if I will read them beforehand.

Of course I am curious, but well, these detailed synopsis….spoiler a lot.

The pilot episode was already shown on the long trailer, so I did read the synopsis for that one.

If you want that too…. here it is:

https://batwoman.tv/pilot-synopsis-released

–

4) New images and videos:

Well, there are two videos floating around the internet. One TV spot from Showcase Canada and a new, very interesting trailer.

But both are available only in pretty bad resolution, I will post them here when they are released officially in good quality.

Until then you can check out this new animated poster:

(preview version)

–

I do expect a lot of new promo material and videos in this week.

After all, Batwoman starts in 12 days! Time for the big promo finish 😉

Well, that is it for now!

Batwoman news, September 18th

by

Today there is not much to report about the show itself…but I wanna present my ideas about my weekly reviews of the show.

A new teaser popped up:

A funny little snippet.

The most interesting aspect is a view of possible gadgets for Batwoman:

–

Of course these are the gadgets that were used by Batman as he still was watching over Gotham.

I’m sure that Luke will redesign some of them for Batwoman and perhaps invent some new stuff as well.

And I’m pretty sure they will be recolored as well. Black and red colors would fit much better …and be less visible in the night. 😉

—–

As Batwoman will start in 18 days, I already made some preparations.

Due to the time difference I won’t be able to watch it on sundays, it would be 2AM on monday here…

I will watch the show on monday evenings (would be around 2PM on US east cost).

Then a rewatch with the episode from last week… and then the new one.

After that I will work on “Batwoman-cut” of the episode.

And then I it’s time to write my review of the episode, which will be posted on mondays.

I am planning two categories:

1) General rating (story, action etc.)

Including a spoiler section that will be hidden (unless you wanna read it)

 

…and a more specific category that fits perfectly for this Blog:

 

2) “Mask action”

with these categories:

Batwoman screen time,

attempted unmaskings, forced unmaskings, self unmaskings,

mask damage,

“mask talk” (incl. “secret indentity talk”)

and perhaps others like: “Who knows her secret identity by now?” and more

–

After each review I will reveal my rating. With up to 5 bats for the general rating and up to 5 “Batwoman-heads” for the “Mask action” category.

–

If you have any comments or ideas for other categories…let me know by leaving ….a comment! 😉

Batwoman news, September 15th

by

[1st post for today]

Just a quick update after the last post from 3 days ago.

A Very, very short one…but I love the pace and music!
Don’t watch this one if you have epilepsy 😉

–

And it even has some new …frames… of Batwoman:

21 days to go!

Batwoman news, September 12th

by

The Batwoman news from the last 7 days!

There was a new teaser for the show:

I like this teaser too, really like this dark atmosphere. But it’s about time that they make a teaser with …BATWOMAN!
They made 7 or 8 of these promo teasers (with scenes that aren’t in the show)….and not one had Batwoman in it.

–

TigerStone FX has finished his work on a Ruby Rose Batwoman cowl.

It looks great and pretty close to the one she had in the Elseworlds Crossover.

(click to enlarge)

–

And here you can see more details and actually buy it:

Tiger Stone FX – Batwoman Cowl

Quality has its price 😉

–

Also, a new promo picture surfaced yesterday:

Ruby Rose as Kate Kane and Nicole Kang as Mary Hamilton

–

Interesting picture!

Mary Hamilton is Kate’s step-sister (in the TV show) and takes care of Kate in this picture.

The big question that pops up in my mind: Does she know about Batwoman? Does she know that Kate in under that mask?

Or does Kate come up with some weird excuses why she has these wounds/bruises?

I hope that Batwoman doesn’t share her secret with too many folks.

Luke Fox does know it for sure, her father knows it in the comics. Supergirl/Kara will find out in the Elseworlds Crossover (which takes place between episodes 3 and 4 of Season 1 of Batwoman).

Mary, Alice and Sophie are my next possible candidates 😉

Feel welcome to leave a comment below!

*EDIT*

Only some hours ago I …”complained” here…that they weren’t showing any new Batwoman scenes in all those teasers….well, here you go:

(and that is actual footage from the TV show)

–

*EDIT2*:

New Batwoman footage from the trailer (in the temporary first costume):

Batwoman news, September 5th

by

Well, we are getting closer and closer to the pilot episode of Batwoman! And the closer we get, the faster the promo “machine” is running. 🙂

Here are the Batwoman news from the last 4 days!

We got more set pictures from episode 4, I will (of course) follow his rules and post “only” 4 of the set pictures.

You can find more if you follow the link below to his page!

First of all, here are the links to the guy who took the pictures and published them:

Canadagraphs (much more pictures here)

Canadagraphs on Twitter

–

Well, you can notice some costume changes (in comparison to the Elseworlds crossover)!

Especially her mask was changed a bit. I would say the eye holes are bigger. The bat-ears look a little different as well (bend to the sides?).

And the cowl looks a little “smaller”. You see a more of her nose, and the hairline is down a bit as well.

Of course, since these are non-official pictures without the proper lighting…. you can’t be 100% sure. We have to wait until episode 3 or 4 until we see the “normal” Batwoman costume and mask.

–

And about the picture with the kid, where she allows her to touch her cowl/face. Well, she should give such an opportunity to most of us folks here.

We might try to unmask her 😉

–

And they released two new teasers!

The first one is basically just a compilation of teaser that were already released:

–

The second trailer has a unique style and makes us ready for the show:

I like the style of this teaser, pretty unique! Even he offers nothing much new, but it is different in style.

–

And I got another one for you!

Not much Batwoman in this one….but at the end …two or three seconds that weren’t shown so far: 😉

Damn, I hope they will present some sort of season-trailer with scenes from the episodes they already have filmed before the pilot!

Would love to see some more new footage!

–

Feel welcome to leave a comment!

Have you noticed other costume changes?

31 days left!

Batwoman news, September 1st

by

[1st post for today]

Time for a little extra Batwoman post! Why today?

Well, it’s September 1st…which means…..as from today, you can say that….Batwoman will hit the screen NEXT month!

And that’s quite something for me, as I am waiting for this Show until last December …and then with even more anticipation from May as the Show was actually confirmed!

It has been a long waiting time. But luckily, it is coming to an end!

–

And I wouldn’t make a new post without new material 😉

So, here is a new teaser:

A nice, short summary regarding the events before the pilot episode.

Nothing really new (except the lighthouse scene), but it is a good teaser!

–

And I wanna show a really interesting set picture with Batwoman in action!

As I read the first outdoor set (with public access) incl. Batwoman in Vancouver:

(click to enlarge to full size)

–

First of all, here are the links to the guy who took the picture and published it:

Canadagraphs

Canadagraphs on Twitter

–

About the picture:

Well, it is clear to say that Batwoman (Ruby Rose) seems to protects a child, while she has a Batarang ready for the bad guy(s)!

She now is wearing to “normal/standard” Batwoman suit, and not the only slightly modified Batman suit from the pilot (and episodes 2 and 3(?)) anymore.

–

Batwoman starts NEXT month on October 6th on the CW!

35 days to go!

–

Batwoman news, August 28th

by

Time for an update on the Batwoman TV show! With some news and videos from the last 7 days.

A new teaser arrived:

Love the creepy Alice! I wonder how they will interact in the show!

And if (and how and when) Alice will find out that Batwoman and Kate Kane are the same person 😉

–

A new interview with Caroline Dries (executive producer):

Interview

–

A new poster!

–

An image on Twitter (BatwomanBrasil) told us that they started with episode 5:

–

39 days ….and some hours remain (the countdown on the right always rounds up) until the first episode will be shown on the CW!

–

 

Batwoman news, August 21th

by

Time for a little update on the eagerly awaited Batwoman TV show! We are now “only” 46 days away from the airing of the first episode on the CW (October 6th).

46 days is still a lot, but as I first saw a countdown over at Batwoman.tv, it was at nearly 300 days, so…. the number from today sounds so much better. 😉

What happened in the 10 days since my last Batwoman-news post? Well, not too much, but it is worth a new post for sure!

–

A new teaser trailer:

I love the dark vibes in this one. And Alice isn’t exactly happy about the news that ….a (new) Bat is watching over Gotham 😉

–

Some pictures I picked up in the last days:

(click on the image to enlarge it to full size)

–

Chicago set pictures 1-6:

Well, it looks like a prisoner transport went…wrong and someone may have escaped! I guess Batwoman will need to catch that villain/villainess.

–

Pictures with the unmasked Batwoman:

Well, the guy with the blue shirt is really lucky to get pictures with her in costume! The other guy on the 2nd picture is actually Camrus Johnson (who plays Luke Fox) …who equips Batwoman with her gadgets.

–

Gotham Gazette/Batman pictures:

Also interesting! Someone seems to miss Batman (who is vanished in this TV show)! But who? And why? And why that puppet?

Questions over questions!

“Come out and play Batman!” sounds pretty playful. It seems that Alice thought in the trailer for the episode that Batman would be after her. But she surely have noticed quickly that it isn’t BatMAN anymore….who is afer her.

Guess we have to wait to get more info about the person who placed that puppet there.

Batwoman news from the San Diego Comic Con

by

A little late, but here is my roundup for the Batwoman related news from the San Diego Comic Con!

Some promo material and more have surfaced 😉

(click on the picture to enlarge them to full size!)

–

And there were some videos!

A trailer for all the Arrowverse shows:

–

Well, sadly, nothing much new from Batwoman…only some frames around this scene:

…where Batwoman uses her batgrapple to go after the bad guys (and girls).

–

Interviews from the unmasked Batwoman and other Arrowverse leads:

–

–

–

And some new info from the producers of the show (with small Spoilers):

    1. – Alice will be the main villain for season 1 (no big surprise, as she is her arch enemy)- In episode 3 they will introduce an interesting villain that wasn’t on TV so far (besides animation), an enemy of Batman. It will be Thomas Elliot aka Hush!

 

    1. – Burt Ward (Robin from the 60’s Batman TV show!) will have a part in the next crossover

 

    1. – Supergirl and Batwoman will become close friends (like implied in the last crossover), and should have some episodes together in the future (starting in season 1 or later…)

 

    1. – The atmosphere will be similar to Arrow Season 1, pretty dark….which fits to Gotham of course 😉

 

    – And like in Arrow Season 1, they try to keep it as realistic as possible

None of the actors of the show were on the panel, since they were too busy shooting and couldn’t make it to the con (unlike the folks from Arrow, Flash, Supergirl etc.).
Other than that they didn’t revealed much interesting stuff.
As much as I like these facts… I did expect more Batwoman news from the ComicCon.
And especially some new video material from the show. And despite some frames in the video in my post above this one….there was nothing.
Many visitors at the Con had the chance the see the complete pilot. I am still jealous! 😉

68 days to go!

Massive Batwoman promo in the days before the San Diego Comic Con (SDCC)

by

The San Diego Comic Con starts officially tomorrow and I wanted to present all the promo stuff to you, that I saw in the last days.

I already bought my issue of the Comic Con special from the TV guide, of course the one with the Batwoman cover 😉 , it is on its way and should arrive next week.

Here is the promo stuff I found in the last days:

… and hey, there is more!

2 Batwoman posters!

–

As mentioned before the San Diego Comic Con starts tomorrow (goes until sunday)!

So I hope for a rather MASSIVE bunch of new pictures, videos and facts from the show in the next days.

The pilot episode is shown there on saturday…and we should read a lot about it on the weekend 🙂

Damn, I envy all folks who have the chance to watch it on the weekend!

I am really thrilled about the next days….

81 days left!

Batwoman news – TV guide Comic Con special

by

88 Days left until the first episode of the BATWOMAN TV show on the CW!

The Comic Con in San Diego is just around the corner (July 18-21), and we should get more news, videos and pictures soon.

Yesterday it was announced that the TV guide magazine will bring out a Comic Con special with 4 different covers.

2 Covers are of special interest if you are interested in BATWOMAN (and the other superhero-shows on the CW):

all 4 covers – click to enlarge

 

–

Well, you may guess which cover version I must get 😉

Very excited for this magazine!

It isn’t 100% clear when the magazine is for sale exactly…but I would say at the end of next week, when the Comic Con is running.

Unfortunately, since I’m not living in the US, I need to figure out how to get that magazine for a reasonable price.

Sadly, it is impossible to buy the really interesting foreign magazines here.

But one way or another…I have to get a copy! 😉

Batwoman news – The date of the first episode is out!

by

This new promo picture from the CW has the vital info we have been waiting for….

 

(click to enlarge to full size)

–

And as you can see on the right side, I adjusted the Batwoman countdown-clock to that date! 111 days to go!

The show starts just a little earlier than I expected, and I feel like it is an early birthday present when it will hit the screen. 🙂

–

The filming of all episodes (besides 1, which is already completed) will start in early July.

The San Diego Comic con goes from July 18 to 21.

Keeping these two facts in mind, I am sure we will get new material and facts on the show next month. Promo pictures, pictures from the filming…perhaps some videos.

–

Damn, this guy is excited like hell for the next months…and especially for October 😉

Batwoman News [Crossover on Netflix, dark atmosphere]

by
–

2 small updates on Batwoman:

1) The Elseworlds Crossover (with Batwoman) is now on Netflix
If you have Netflix (I don’t) …and didn’t see the Elseworld Crossover so far (Of course I have!!!)….you can do it now.
You have to watch these episodes (in this order) to see the full Elseworlds Crossover:
The Flash, season 5, episode 9
Arrow, season 7, episode 9 – (90% of the Batwoman scenes are in this one)
Supergirl, season 4, episode 9
–
2) Batwoman will be the darkest show of the Arrowverse
The Production designer of Batwomen, Lisa Soper compares the show with the trailer of the new Joker movie.
She says that it will be darker than Gotham and the other shows of the Arrowverse.
–
Well, as Batman, Batwoman is a creature of the night, so a rather dark tone fits very good and I really like a dark(er) tone in a movie or TV series. I mean Legends of Tomorrow is half a comedy, Flash has dark moments but the hero does see much more daylight than Batman/Batwoman and it has comedy elements as well (Ralph etc.). Arrow has some darkness and tragedy, but now less than at the beginning in my opinion. And the relationsship between Oliver and Felicity changed quite a lot in that matter…. so much relationsship drama, his son …etc.
The CW should have enough experience by now with all those superhero shows, that I’m confident that they know what to do with …this… caped crusader.
