Yesterday the CW announced their fall schedule for the 2021/2022 season.
Batwoman is still paired with Legends of Tomorrow but moves now from Sundays to Wednesdays (9 PM).
From what I read the CW had always trouble getting good numbers on the weekend, so this may be good news for the show.
Until now the CW didn’t even have original programs on Saturday, that will change now. But all of the Arrowverse and other “big” shows will run during the week now.
Supergirl will continue with the 2nd half of their last season then as well.
Don’t know when the 2nd season of “Superman & Lois” will start.
–
Also, the first 5 episodes of season 8 of “The Flash” will include heroes from the other Arrowverse/CWverse!
Of course, I hope that Batwoman and maybe other characters from the show will make it to Central City to appear on the Flash in these “mini crossovers”.
Even it is no “full” crossover I am very much looking forward to these episodes. Due to the pandemic, we got no crossover during this season, so it’s certainly good news 🙂
Today I will watch the very last episode of Black Lightning.
Season 4 is certainly not my favorite one but I will miss the show. After Arrow, it is the 2nd show of the Arrowverse that ended, and Supergirl will air their last episode later this year as well.
Time to present all the news of the last days on the biggest TV crossover event ever!
These are the dates and shows involved in the crossover:
Supergirl, Dec 8
Batwoman, Dec 9
The Flash, Dec 10
…..nail-biting, 5 weeks cliffhanger!…..
Arrow, Jan 14
Legends of Tomorrow, Jan 14

Here is the teaser:
–
Never have seen a title screen so often like in this one….. but I like all the teasing in these snippets!
Bring it on!
I’m looking forward in great anticipation to this one! Especially for Batwoman and all the big changes it brings to the Arrowverse.
There will be casualties, I am sure not “only” the one we all know of.

Here is the poster:

Seems like Batwoman got the best spot! 🙂
But weird that they used that old promo picture of her….she doesn’t even have that cowl anymore.
She has a new cowl since episode 3, the one from this poster was only seen in the last years crossover (and some promos).
–
And here is the synopsis for the first three episodes (with some spoilers):
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 😉
Bat-Elevators!
Bat-Elevator with commentary from Ruby Rose!
New promo pic for the Arrowverse shows!

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):
– 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!
– Burt Ward (Robin from the 60’s Batman TV show!) will have a part in the next crossover
– 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…)
– 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! 😉
As I woke up one hour ago, checking a certain site as every morning…my pulse was accelerated through the roof.
Right now, I am so HAPPY, sooooo HAPPY!!!!!
So far, it seemed most likely that they would order season 1 after the pilot was filmed in march…but hey, I’m very superstitious when it comes to possible great news.
But now, all doubts are gone, as it is official:
Batwoman – Season 1 …is officially ordered!
–
A short teaser surfaced to confirm it:
We will get a TV SERIES with a MASKED HEROINE in the MAIN role!!!
And easy to say after only 2 TV series so far (Queen of Swords and Black Scorpion) this is clearly the first one with a “real” budget so far.
And these series are both around 20 years old. It was about damn time!
(And hopefully it will be the first one(!) who will get …a second season)
–
And the chances for more masked women (villainesses and heroines) are ….very high/near certain!!!
Did some say Batgirl, Catwoman, Huntress? 😉
–
Some images, mostly from the Elseworlds crossover event from december:
–
More details like:
– how many episodes?
– when does the series start exactly?
– storyline?
…will be released next week (around May 16) as the CW presents their shows for the next tv season (fall)!
–
Later this day I will celebrate this news with expensive burgers and something special to drink. 😉
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… 😉
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)!
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!
Ok, folks, it’s time to start a new sort of series on this blog!
As most of you (hopefully) know already, Batwoman will make her first appearance on TV in the big Arrowverse Crossover event, featuring an episode each from the CW series Flash, Arrow and Supergirl.

–
And, with a thrill of anticipation I’m looking forward to that crossover from the day it was announced that Batwoman would make her debut in that.
I’m watching these series anyway, but this fuels my ….”delight level” to a whole new level! 🙂
Especially regarding that she will get her own TV-SERIES after that!! (most likely, if nothing insane happens)
Why I am so happy about it?
Well, how many …at least solid…..movies and TV-series did we have with a proper masked heroine over all the years?
Not many! Catwoman in Batman Returns, the Black Scorpion series, Batgirl in Birds of Prey (one episode), the Queen of swords series (even the mask isn’t really a proper mask)
and lately some masked women in Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl (and mostly only eye masks).
And I really like her from the comics and the animated movie (“Bad Blood”). Her wig and mask makes a really good disguise! Not like most other masked heroine, who wear tiny eye mask that cover nearly nothing. And I really hope that Ruby Rose makes a great debut as Batwoman!
And yesterday we got the first official picture with Ruby Rose as Batwoman:
(click to enlarge)
–
And DAMN, I’m really happy with it!
A really great mask/cowl! The moment she hits the screen….I will be very…..excited! 😉
The costume is ok, more practical than sexy. Had hoped for some leather or even rubber…but well, that wasn’t very likely if you know the costumes of these 3 shows.
Of course it is not guaranteed that there will be a good unmasking. Perhaps Supergirl or Flash use their speed to unmask her to find out who she is. Or most likely Batwoman will trust them and unmask herself.
But whatever happens, every second with her on-screen will be really great (for me)!

And now some pictures of Ruby Rose without the costume:
