DC Fandome 2021: Batwoman TV show, Batgirl movie, Gotham Knights, and “The Batman”

Yesterday I watched the DC Fandome from beginning to end and wanna talk about the most interesting parts for me and this blog.

Of course, I will include the videos here so you know what I am talking about:

 

Batwoman TV show:

I wasn’t expecting to see much new, and that’s exactly what was delivered 😉

Well, there was a season trailer, but that basically shows scenes that were either in episode 1 or already included in earlier trailers.

A sneak peak for episode 2 was included as well, but that was just a short scene with Ryan and Alice.

And there was a short segment in which Camrus Johnson was talking about becoming Batwing and what that means to him, but ok, that isn’t relevant for this site.

It was very nice to have Camrus Johnson, Rachel Skarsten, and Javicia Leslie as guests in the event.

Batgirl movie:

There was a very short segment about the upcoming Batgirl movie, check it out at 2:29:45

Well, no big reveal, but some interesting news:

  • Yes, she will wear a real cowl and not the damn eye mask!
  • Yes, she will have red hair!
  • That concept art is verrry promising. If that would be the final, real costume……it would be AWESOME!

 

At IMDB the movie is listed for 2022, I think that is very optimistic as they are still in pre-production, but I can’t wait to know more about the movie.

Ok, it’s “just” one movie and not a Batgirl TV show…but I am very excited for it.

My main concern, for now, is the costume. It’s good that they will use the cowl and not the eye mask. I fear they will use the purple Burnside costume which isn’t exactly sexy.

And I really home the cowl has a chin strap, unlike one of the new versions where it basically is more like a helmet.

I would choose the black costume from the Arkham video games…. or the version from “Batman and Robin” but with a cowl with chin strap. 😉

Of course, the script is also VERY important and I hope Christina Hodson has a good one in the making.

Gotham Knights:

We got a new story trailer:

This is basically the worst Batgirl costume available.

Thank god, I saw her in another costume in promo pictures and after all, you can choose different costumes in such video games.

I’m looking forward to this game! I hope it gets anywhere close in quality to the Arkham Games.

The Batman

Here is the new trailer:

Nice trailer! Ok, I’m looking VERY much forward to this one!

It will be very different from the existing Batman movies….if that is a good thing or not….we will know in March next year.

I am (still) not sure about Robert Pattinson as Batman… the only movie I ever saw with him is “The Lighthouse” in which he showed some really good acting skills.

My main concern now is the Catwoman in this one (surprise! 😉 )

Yeah, I know she is in her very early Catwoman career and that is not her “final” costume.

But….this makeshift costume and shredded ski mask…. look….rather……awful …in my opinion.

And another issue for me is her height. I like tall women, and she is not only small, she is really tiny with 1,57m (5 feet 2 inches).

The combination of her height, that short haircut and her “costume” doesn’t work for me. At least judging from the trailer.

There are two scenes with her that I like in the trailer. Selina exiting the car in these boots and fishnets….that is sexy. And with these heels, she looks better in several ways.

The scene where she touches Batman’s cowl and asks who would be under it is quite nice as well.

I really hope that they don’t learn their secret identities as it happens normally in the movies/TV shows….

It would be really great if there would be some unmasking action between these two 😉

Will be interesting to see how she will portray this iconic character! It will at least be a better portrayal as in a certain movie from a crazy french director.

Feel welcome to leave your comment on any of these movies/games!

Batwoman News, October 6

Season 3 of the Batwoman TV show is only one week away!

So, I took the time and prepared a season 3 page for the show and edited the other season pages as well.

I also added links to the season 2 Blu-ray and DVD sets to the season 2 page.

So, if you wanna have season 2 in your collection, you are very welcome to get it here and thereby support this blog with a little donation, that doesn’t cost you anything.

For those who are interested there are also 4 “Special features” on the Blu-ray set (don’t know about the DVD version):
“Villains analyzed”
“Never alone: Heroes and Allies”
“Deleted Scenes”
and a “Gag Reel”
That is much more than the very few extras of season 1.
Looking forward to checking these out as well!
Especially the deleted scenes 🙂

I will start re-watching season 2 today and watch all the 18 episodes in the upcoming days to be ready for season 3.

And if you want to know more about the first episode of season 3 “Mad as a Hatter”, here are some links for you:

P.S.:

And I changed the picture on top of the website. Nearly identical to the Youtube channel now.

Hope you like it.

 

Batwoman News: Trailer + Episode titles

I’m a little late with this here on the blog, but the full trailer for season 3 was released 2 days ago!

Check it out:

We get some quick scenes with the new characters of Renee Montoya, Jada Jet and Marquis Jet + we can see Mad Hatter and Killer Croc!

Some nice reveals 🙂

And also the first 5 episode titles were released today:

Spoiler title
3×01 – Mad as a Hatter— 3×02 – Loose Tooth— 3×03 – Freeze — 3×04 – Antifreeze — 3×05 – A Lesson From Professor Pyg

Well, that’s a really awesome lineup of villains! And that is only the first 5 episodes.

Three more weeks to go!

Batwoman News: Teaser + a picture + some minor spoilers + poster

[2nd post for today]

Yesterday, we finally got some promo material for season 3!

It was time the promo machine got started as the season is less than one month away (October 13).

Here is the teaser snippet:

Yeah, just some seconds…but…it’s good to know that Alice won’t just be in prison during season 3 at that would quickly get rather boring.

Also, we can see that the hunt for the trophies that Batman collected from the biggest villains is on!

Poison Ivy is confirmed and cast, but no news on the other possible villains like the Penguin.

 

If you scroll down a little to the Batwoman part….you can get more info on season 3 here:

*EDIT* September 17:

And we got a new season poster:

(click to enlarge)

Really cool poster, love the Arkham Asylum background and Batwoman’s pose.

Is it October 13 already? No? Damn!

Batwoman news: Poison Ivy + Fandome

More news on season 3 of Batwoman!

It was already clearly “hinted” in the last episode of season 2 that Poison Ivy may appear in the upcoming season, now we got the news that an actress has been chosen for the role!

So, it’s no secret anymore that Poison Ivy indeed will show up and will be among the villains of the season.

Bridget Regan will play the part!

https://deadline.com/2021/08/batwoman-bridget-regan-play-poison-ivy-in-season-3-cw-1234824460/

I have seen her in “The last ship” and “Agent Carter” but honestly can’t remember her part in it since these shows are some years old by now and only watched them once.

But I’m looking forward to seeing how she will play the part. I’m happy that she is playing a grown-up version of Ivy, unlike the one we got in the Gotham series.

And we got a trailer for the DC FanDome (October 16):

Batwoman is also in the lineup and I expect some interesting interviews or footage from season 3.

This year the FanDome event is actually placed after the start of the Batwoman season (October 13), but I hope they will save some great news for the FanDome.

Also looking forward to seeing hopefully more from Catwoman in new “The Batman” footage and to get more info on “Gotham Knights” the video game.

EDIT:

And here is the poster:

Batwoman UPDATE – August 25 —- [EDIT: August 26]

It’s time for a quick Batwoman update!

Season 3 is 49 days away (October 13) and it was rather quiet in the last weeks after the 3 casting announcements earlier.

Some set pictures surfaced on social media and I wanna show them here, first these two:

(click to enlarge)

If you check out these pictures in detail and watched the episodes you can spot a small costume change.

As you can see in this comparison from Batwoman Brasil:

….they seemingly changed the wig a little as it has less “volume” now in season 3, and it seems that the hair is now a little longer.

Will have to see if other shots will confirm that, but I’m pretty sure this change is no accident.

Well, I do prefer the new(er) look as the wig is less dominant….which is a good thing for me.

 

And when I see these first two pictures….I can’t wait to see Batwoman and Batwing in their first action scenes together!

Also, I do hope that we will see some promo material very soon!

 

*EDIT* August 26:

More news on Batwoman!

It’s not about season 3 this time….but about the Flash TV show!

To be precise it’s about the first 5 episodes of season 8 of The Flash.

Among other characters, Batwoman will appear in this 5 episode event that is called Armageddon! 🙂

https://deadline.com/2021/08/the-flash-lineup-of-superheroes-villains-revealed-for-5-part-season-8-launch-event-1234821825/

Ok, I don’t know how big her part in these episodes is…but even if she would be only in one episode for 5 minutes….it would be great.

And I think she will have much more screentime than that 😉

It’s also nice to see Atom and Black Lightning again…as well as Alex as “her” Supergirl show should be still running by then.

But …besides Batwoman…. I’m most excited about having Mia Queen back in her costume and mask!

For me, it was sad news that she and the other Canaries didn’t get the TV show that she deserved in my eyes.

Well, first Batwoman comes back in October (13), and ….starting on November 16… we get this “Armageddon” event with 5 episodes.

I’m very much thrilled! 😉

 

More Batwoman casting news

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.

https://deadline.com/2021/07/batwoman-nick-creegan-season-3-series-regular-marquis-jet-1234800087/

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.

Looking forward to seeing him in the show!

11 weeks until season 3 starts 🙂

 

————–

Robin joins the Batwoman TV show in season 3!

That’s how you do a clickbait headline! 😉

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 the article:

I hope for more casting news and info on season 3 in the next weeks!

P.S.:

Sorry for the delay in case you have been waiting, but there were some football/soccer related ….issues….

July 1st:

I updated the timeline page of the show!

Only some hours left before the season 2 finale of Batwoman!

Today it’s all about the Batwoman TV show on this blog as the season finale is about to be aired today (9 PM on the CW)!

Of course, I have seen many season finales of many TV shows over all the years…it’s always a bittersweet feeling for me.

Especially with a show that I follow so intensively like this one. Even before the episode airs it’s a bitter feeling as the fact that it will be the last episode until October 13.

Luckily the show does come back for another season (and hopefully some more beyond that) and the break is much shorter than it usually would be.

It’s also a sweet feeling! After all the build-up towards the season finale….I expect a lot of action and drama in it…and a nasty cliffhanger to keep the tension towards season 3. 😉

And from what was already teased and released….A LOT will happen in this episode! As we already could see in promo pictures, Batwing will make his debut in this one!

Also team Batwoman has to fight Circe, Black Mask, and all his goons, incl. Tavaroff who will receive a special “treatment” 😉

And on top of that…they have to do that without all the gadgets that Circe sole! Luke will have a lot on his “to do” list. Not only he needs to make another suit for Ryan, but he also has to make his Batwing suit as well plus some gadgets for both of them. I wonder how he will pull that off…. I wouldn’t be surprised if he would get help….but from who? That is the big question!

They have to find a way to bring Kate back and restore her memory fully. Does someone have the password that Enigma used on her? Will Kate be herself at the end of the episode? Or will she still be Circe and will be a villainess for season 3?

Many questions that need answers! Can’t wait to see the episode tomorrow as I can’t see it live. I will need to be VERY cautious tomorrow to avoid spoilers until I can watch the episode.

Here is a promo poster that the CW made for the finale:

Interestingly Circe-Kate isn’t on it, but Jacob is. He wasn’t shown in the last episode, will he be even shown at all ….besides maybe a phone call scene?

What about Julia and Angelique? Both are missing from the show for quite a while now….. But it would be cool if at least one of them would make an appearance!

I can imagine that Julia might arrive in Gotham just in time to make a difference in the final battle 😉

And what will Alice’s role be in that finale and beyond that? Pretty sure she has a score to settle with Black Mask as well and perhaps she will end up fighting side by side with team Batwoman in this one.

Here are some (selected) promo pictures for the episode:

(click to enlarge)

And here is the trailer:

Can’t wait to see the episode tomorrow and I will post my review on Tuesday!

P.S.:

Yesterday was live football/soccer I had to watch, so I watched the episode but didn’t have the time to write the review, as that takes several hours all in all.

To records live sport is just not a good option 😉

On the next 3 Batwoman Mondays, it will be the same as the EURO starts and I will watch many/most games.

So, the reviews and videos will be up on early Tuesdays.

P.S. 2:

Today the first official pictures of Batwing were posted! Check out Luke Fox as Batwing:

(click to enlarge to full size)

Well, I think the costume looks rather…..awesome! Can’t wait to see him in action!
