After she gave her debut in the Elseworlds Crossover in December it was finally confirmed that she will get a pilot episode for her (not yet 100% safe) own TV show in 2019.
Now it is official that the filming for this pilot episode will start on March 4th in Vancouver (where they film most of the shows for the Arrowverse). That is only 6 weeks away!
If the bosses at CW like it, her own TV show should start in the fall season together the new seasons of the other shows from the Arrowverse!
I keep you updated on Batwoman 🙂
Tthe Batwoman countdown clock on the right side has a new date!
Ok, it was a little tricky to edit this video. I had to cut out some elements to make it suitable for YouTube. If they have a problem with the first scene….I will have to take that out as well 😉
In this clip, we have Hawk, who runs a mission on his own and gets into heavy trouble. Luckily he has a partner….a masked, female partner/lover who may come to the rescue 😉
And in a later scene, we have an appearance from Robin as well!
Preview:
There she is….Dove!
And Robin shows up as well.
Looks like trouble? YES, indeed!

And here is the video:
–
Ok, these two were pretty new to me. And I get the name Hawk and the idea behind it is somehow cool. I mean a Hawk is a mighty and pretty cool animal.
And which animal does she choose as a template for her name and costume? A…DOVE….
Besides the fact that Dove dressing up as a Dove (!) isn’t exactly cool as the animal is “uncool” because ….well, it’s pretty much a flying rat. And that’s a…odd choice for a heroine.
Ok, they have a big cage with doves on the rooftop, but that doesn’t make it better 😉
However, she knows how to fight the bad guys….and THAT is pretty cool, especially the way she saves him from a very evil fate by kicking down the bad guys.
And after some seconds in the video you know already….this show isn’t for kids. A pretty dark and violent series. Pretty much the opposite from “The Flash” for example.
And that is a nice variety for sure! However, I do like the Flash series.
Ok, what is no big surprise and annoys me again….HE gets a real, rubber mask/cowl….and what does our heroine has as a mask? A cheap pair of goggles from a costume shop. I guess hiding her identity isn’t so important 🙁 . If she would at least wear a wig as Dove…
Even if that mask covers up quite a lot for an eye mask.
But I guess that mask would come off with one placed punch to her face.
But ok, enough complaining from me. We have a masked heroine who kicks ass! And that’s always a good thing! 🙂
–
And by the way:
I do have a nice (not so …youtube-friendly) bonus clip, exclusive for the blog readers!
My first idea for a video from “Ant-man and the Wasp” was to make a video with all unmasking and masking scenes that the Wasp (Evangeline Lily) has in the movie. Because there are a LOT! But well, with the mechanical “wonder helmet” of hers, these unmaskings aren’t so interesting and all pretty much a like.
So, I wanna concentrate on the best unmasking scene in the movie. We have the Wasp and Ghost fighting about a ….miniaturized lab… and there is nothing wrong about two masked women fighting against each other 😉
Preview:
The Wasp….
….VS Ghost!
In combat!
Serious Mask Damage!

And here is the video:
–
Well, ok, not really a good unmasking, but we have two masked beauties fighting each other….I won’t complain 😉 !
And I do love “mask damage” like in this scene, even we can see that only very short and from the side.
But that way it is a forced unmasking (due to the damage) and that is actually pretty cool.
Ok, I had hoped at least one of them had a real secret identity…but there masks/helmet are not really for hiding their faces under them. It’s more like a protection for combat action…I suppose.
–
In case you really don’t know the title of the movie:
…well not the ….actual nutj*b who is in the white house right now, but the US President in the Supergirl TV-series.
In this last episode before the Elseworlds crossover event, we got some great lines about her secret identity.
And I know that Supergirl isn’t “masked” and that actually Kara Denvers is the “masked” alter ego (with the glasses and the different hairstyle 😉 ).
However I found this dialogue between the President and Supergirl….very interesting! He wants to know more about Supergirl….MUCH more 🙂
Preview:
The President wants to know….
….Supergirl’s….
…..deepest secret!!!

–
And here is the video:
–
Well, I do love talk about unmaskings and secret identities. And the fact that he tries to force her to give up her secret identity, is kind of sexy 😉
But Supergirl knows about the catastrophic consequences if she would give it up and thereby expose Kara and especially her loved ones. Every villain could easily come after them…
She knows that Supergirl and Kara MUST co-exist to keep her friends and family safe.
And so she doesn’t let her “mask” down 🙂
It was the right choice…..but I am looking forward to the next episodes and the consequences.
Thanks to N., who recommended me on this scene, I can bring you another fine scene with a masked woman. Funny thing that I actually have the movie on DVD, but forgot about that scene.
In this scene we have a crew of a salvage ship who enter a (seemingly) abandoned research ship.
But, surprisingly that are not so alone as they thought.
Preview (without spoiling pictures of the masked woman, you shall be surprised):
You should know 2 of these actors
Surprised by the masked woman!
The masked woman…is dangerous

Here is the video:
–
Well, that’s one way to greet some folks on a ship 😉
But it was a nice surprise…wasn’t it?
Well, aiming isn’t exactly her best ability…but well, perhaps she didn’t really want to kill them.
But, let that be a lesson to you….always check your closets for women with gasmasks and uzis 😉
Ok folks, now that all episodes of the Elseworlds Crossover event were shown, this weeks post will be done today instead of posting it on the usual sunday.
Because nobody should be kept waiting to see this material 😉
I do have two videos and one big picture gallery for you. For the first video I combined all Batwoman scenes in one video and I did the same with the Kate Kane scenes in the second video.
My opinions on all of this can be found on the last part of the post.

I recommend that you watch the video with Kate Kane first, for a better understanding!!!

My opinion on the Crossover:
—> In general:
It was a lot of FUN! Many funny scenes, sooo many Easter Eggs (Batman villains, Smallville, Legends of Tomorrow and more) and a pretty good story with some really good action scenes as well. I think it was a good idea to make this years Crossover a little “smaller” with just 3 episodes from 3 shows. I like it when you don’t have too many characters in it. With the Legends of Tomorrow it was a little too much for my taste.
The idea with the alternative realities is pretty cool. It was very interesting to see some of the cast in other roles. The scene with Kate and Kara was very important to introduce Kate to the Arrowverse and give her some depths before presenting Batwoman. And that brings me to my biggest interest in this years crossover….
—> Batwoman:
It is no big surprise to most of you that I have a “thing” for masked women. 😉
So, the idea of bringing Batwoman into the Crossover this year, fueled my anticipation BIG time. Since months I really was looking forward to see her on the screen. Instead of most heroines and villainesses I saw in the past on TV, comics and the internet, Batwoman has a “real” mask. A mask that actually really covers her secret identity (and a wig for even more cover). She is one of my favorites among Batgirl, Catwoman and Black Scorpion. And the idea to introduce Batwoman in the Crossover and (and hopefully!!!) giving her her own TV show next year…..seems fucking fantastic to me!
As I heard that Ruby Rose would play her, I didn’t really know what to think of it. I had seen only very little of her and decided to watch/re-watch more of her the last months (Triple X 3, Wick 2, Resident Evil: Final Chapter, Meg). And now I am very happy about the fact that she got the role. Of course her part wasn’t very big (around 8 Minutes as Batwoman AND Kate Kane), BUT I really think she will/would do a great job in her own TV-series.
The mask/cowl looks fantastic and her costume is pretty good. The Batwoman symbol looks really good on her. Ok, I would tried something with leather and rubber on the suit (like the Batgirl suit from Batman and Robin or Birds of Prey…but perhaps that would have been too much for some folks 😉 )
And that possible TV-series….would be a DREAM coming true for me. Always wanted a big TV show with a masked heroine in the main role. The only other two I know are “Queen of Swords” and “Black Scorpion” and both had only one season each, which lay back quite some time now.
—> Unmasking action:
Well, for less than 4 minutes of Batwoman, I think we got quite a lot!
Kate walks over to her costume and cowl. Really cool to see her standing before it.
And actually Batwoman got UNMASKED by Supergirl. Ok, the mask didn’t come off physically, BUT the very curious Supergirl uses the X-ray vision to see behind the cowl of Batwoman, finding Kate Kane under it.
But nice as Supergirl is, she easily gives up her own secret identity to Batwoman as well. And both already have a strong bond to each other, so they both know they can trust each other with their secrets.
And the possibilities for more unmasking action with Batwoman in that possible TV-show are…..ENDLESS. 🙂

Ok, enough from me for now.
What do you think about the Crossover and especially Batwoman in it?

P.S.: You may have notice the change in the picture headline on top of the blog already… 😉
Well, just a short and last post only some hours before the first part of the Elseworlds crossover in which Batwoman will appear for the first time on TV.
I will make posts with all the scenes with Batwoman next week (after I have seen all 3 parts), but until then a final video with great footage with her:
Pretty cool poster! My two favorites are on the right half 😉

I am looking forward to find out how much screen time Batwoman and Kate Kane actually get.
The whole crossover with the 3 parts is around 2 hours long. We know that the heroes will go to Gotham City in the second episode where they meet “both”.
Hard to tell how much Kate and Batwoman will be involved in the third episode. But of course I hope Batwoman will still help them in that last chapter!
–
And….we got a real trailer that shows about one minute of material…that is a step forward 😉
–
With the first seconds of Kate Kane on-screen!
Right now my main question is how Kate Kane and Batwoman are behave towards all those heroes that arrive in Gotham.
Why do they travel to Gotham? How is Kate and Batwoman involved in all of this?? Will they figure out that Kate IS Batwoman???
But these questions will be answered pretty soon!
Only 4 days left (for the ones in the US / 5 days for me)!
Well, this year I went to it too…..and I wanna write something about it and have prepared a little video.
This one was actually my second Comic con. And compared with last year…..hmh, I would say I was/am a little disappointed.
Ok, doing something for the first time is always a little more exciting I guess, but the main reason for my disappointment is clearly the lack of …..(well-) masked women.
Because to be honest, that is my main motivation as it wasn’t very cheap to travel to Dortmund and buy a ticket for the con.
What was really good this year were the Hollywood guests (check the video) and that it wasn’t too crowded with now 3 instead of last years 2 halls for the Comic Con.
And of course…seeing so many folks dressed up in often great costumes is always very interesting and/or sexy (in case of some really sexy dressed women).
But back to my main motivation:
There was NOT ONE masked woman with a really good costume (from what I saw).
There were two Spider-Gwens/Girls with good costumes, but without masks (DAMN! The mask is an/the essential part!). There were two Catwomen with really cheap costumes, not sexy at all.
And I didn’t find a single Batgirl, Batwoman, Spoiler or Canary! In general there were way too less DC characters around. And with the upcoming Batwoman appearance on the Crossover in a few days I thought there would be one or two at least…. Weird. Well, I only visited the Comic Con on sunday and not on saturday and sunday. Perhaps there were more masked women on saturday…don’t know.
So many costumes from Star Wars, Games of Thrones, Walking Dead, japanese Mangas, Horror movies. I guess I need to visit some sort of DC/Marvel-only Comic con, but I guess that doesn’t exist. 😆
Ok, I do know that a Batgirl/Catwoman costume that I find really attractive is pretty expensive. And that it is much easier to dress up like Harley Quinn for example. And ok, making a really good cosplay of Batgirl or Catwoman for example is tougher as most others. But there wasn’t a single rubber cowl on all these women…
Perhaps I will check out the “Heroes and Villains” fanfest in London or when it comes to Germany one day.
Next year the german comic con will be two times in Dortmund. Hmh, I have to think about it. But I guess I will attend at least one of them.
Not so many other chances to find a Batgirl or Catwoman in real life 😆
Ok, only 9 days left until the big crossover event “Elseworlds” starts with Batwoman aka Kate Kane (played by Ruby Rose).
There is still no real trailer out (nothing with more than 30 seconds) but, perhaps this weekend or early next week at the latest.
Until then….I still have something new to show you folks.
2 new pictures with Batwoman have surfaced yesterday:
(click to enlarge)
–
These pictures are a great addition!
Love the good look at her mask in the first one. And Stephen Amell (aka “Flash”) looks really….funny/disgusted (?) in this one. Yeah, he isn’t used to female vigilantes with a real mask 😉
Or Batwoman doesn’t want to play along with the other good guys.
On the second picture, someone is standing behind Batwoman, and pretty close. In my fantasy that person is reaching for her mask from behind before getting a massive kick from Batwoman ;-).
Who is that? We will see…..
But in any case, I’m still hyped like hell about Batwoman in this show. Finally a heroine with a perfect disguise on TV. Her secret identity is hidden very well, and no one could possible know who she is without unmasking her.
And that’s exactly like I love it.
Still it isn’t clear if the mask goes around the whole head (back?), but we will see that sooner or later too.
–
Here is a “extended” teaser/trailer, but that just means that it has 30 seconds instead of 20 😉
–
Still not a real trailer, but we do see Batwoman and a Batarang!
This scene was missing on this blog for too long, time to change that!
In this one we have the goddess Kate Beckinsale who is under the spell of an evil vampire! And he wants her to become one too 😉
Preview:
Well…that’s a cleavage!
He grabs her and….
….reaches for her MASK!!
….naughty vampire!
(click to enlarge)
–
And here is the video:
–
Well, that must be a lucky vampire….nearly until the end of the scene 😉
And really impressive what kind of cleavage you can build with the right dress.
She looks really stunning and of course he can’t wait and unmasks her right away. Even if the mask was only a decoration in this scene it is still great to see Kate getting unmasked.
A little late, but of course this teaser must be on this blog as well….because…it has the first scenes of Batwoman in “action”!
Ok, just a teaser with some seconds of her…but a great appetizer!
–
A real trailer should be there soon! 😉
–
And from this news it looks like Batwoman will first appear in the 2nd part of the crossover (Arrow), so we need to wait one more day for her…..but that is not a problem 😉
