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 news: DC Fandome (September)

The 2nd DC Fandome was started yesterday and is still available right now for the next 10 hours.

I was very excited about the Batwoman panel on the DC Fandome in August.

Then it was delayed 3 weeks to the new date. Ok, well, 3 more weeks to wait, no biggie. I hoped that they would produce some promo material in the meantime……

I mean the panel was interesting and fun to watch…..BUT….if you have such a panel with a good 40 minutes runtime….you should present SOMETHING at the very end.

A 30 second teaser, a poster …or at least just one promo image for season 2!

All the talk was nice and interesting….but….no “real” news about season 2 🙁

Caroline Dries explained that there would be two major topics in season 2:

1) Watching Ryan Wilder grow into the role of Batwoman with her background as she wasn’t treated well by the system

2) Kate’s disappearance and how it affects everybody differently.

Also it was mentioned that Ryan Wilders batwoman suit will be different or “evolves” differently (from Kates version) during the season so it would be fitting to her persona.

Some more details can be found here:

These “mini-reveals” are interesting, but not really thrilling as they were already mentioned in the past or are predictable developments that follow aspects you already know about.

I watched a lot of panels from other shows as well, at least Batwoman is in good company.
The only panel with some exciting reveals was the Titans panel. And these reveals were even already in the shorter version that was presented 3 weeks ago….

Actually the “InsiderVerse” was nearly more interesting as there a lot of interesting videos.
I “saved” a lot of them to watch on a later date. 😉

Well, as the filming is running now for 10 days I hope we will get some news or promo material very soon. It is needed!
I hope for a tiny teaser in early october and a longer season trailer in November.

Some promo pictures and posters should also pop up in the next weeks/months.

Batwoman news: Casting news, pictures and DC Fandome reminder

Before the Batwoman Panel on the DC Fandome will be available in barely 34 hours from now…

https://schedule.dcfandome.com/e/5f343a57ad87080017244a14

….with some major news….there are already some news to post before!

Safiyah has been casted for the show!

https://deadline.com/2020/09/batwoman-shivaani-ghai-recur-the-cw-superhero-series-1234574512/

In the show it seems that Alice is her main enemy. In the comics Kate Kane/Batwoman has a complicated relationsship with her…but as Kate isn’t around anymore (at least for a while until she comes back 😉 ) it seems that Alice will have to face her. Safiyah was already mentioned on some occasions in season 1, will be interesting to see what her goal is in the TV show.

I don’t know the actress so far, but I am looking forward to see her on screen.

One week has passed since they had started shooting season 2.

And of course some pictures show up on social media.

Here are my two favorites from the last days:

Alice is back in action! 🙂

Meagan Tandy has posted this picture:

I wonder how her role will change in season 2….

On sunday I will make a big post about season 2 of Batwoman as there should be some juicy news to post about from saturday 😉

Batwoman news: Filming for season 2 has finally started + DC Fandome

Today is a special day!

Today, on Septemper 3rd, the filming for season 2 of Batwoman has begun!

After the pandemic stopped the filming at the end of season 1 in mid-march and thereby cut the season short (20 episodes instead of 22)….the cameras are finally rolling again.

So a break of nearly 6 months comes to an end. Normally season 2 would have started next month, but that was of course changed as well as they just couldn’t film in the last months.

With the start of the filming we will get finally some more info on season 2 as it was very quiet the last weeks.

And the Batwoman panel on the 2nd DC Fandome is just 9 days away (September 12)!

It has 40 minutes and should bring some interesting news for sure! Especially I’m curious to see Javicia Leslie and her new Batwoman costume.

So, the next weeks should get really interesting when it comes to Batwoman news! 🙂

DC Fandome – August 22/23 + September 12/13

[Post 2 of 2 for today!]

The DC Fandome is on the next weekend (August 22 and 23), time to make another post about it!

*EDIT* News came in yesterday that most of the TV shows and everything besides the movie panels are moved to a second date: September 12th!

What is the DC Fandome?

2… 24 hours virtual cons, entry free, watchable across the globe with lots of panels on upcoming DC shows and movies….and much more…

Here you can fix your own schedule so you know when to watch something you are interested in:

Regular website:
https://dcfandome.com/

Of course the Batwoman panel in the Watchverse is THE main attraction for me, no doubt!
It will have 40 minutes and the cast will discuss season 1 and give a sneak peek into season 2. I also expect that we see promo material of Javicia in the costume for the first time!

Besides that I am thrilled about the Wonder Woman 1984 panel and the “The Batman” panel (hope to finally see the Catwoman costume)!
And of course the other Arrowverse shows will have interesting panels as well!
I am hoping for some juicy trailers, interesting talks and great promo material!

I already made a schedule for the event…..well, I am sure I won’t get much sleep in these 24 hours….

 Which panels do you wanna watch?

Batwoman news: New promo poster + DC fandome

Some Batwoman news from the last days:

A new promo poster has surfaced!

(click to enlarge to full size)

Obviously this is the full picture of the Batwoman picture that was in the original CW schedule promo some weeks ago:

(click to enlarge to full size)

The Batwoman picture was later replaced by a picture of the Batwoman signal.

3 things on this one are really interesting:

– Is that really Ruby Rose under that cowl? I am not sure! Looks odd.

– Batwoman never used such a rope in the show, she only used the grapel gun the swing around.

But the picture looks very similar to a famous comic cover:

(click to enlarge to full size)

– The cowl she is wearing on this promo poster is the version she had from episode 3-10. It isn’t the current one without chin strap and the unprotected neck.

I guess they made this promo picture for a release quite some time later.

But overall I really like the promo poster!

———–

The Batwoman show will be on the big DC Fandome online event on August 22!

Sounds like a very interesting event in general and especially as we should get some real news on the second season of Batwoman!

I was never in San Diego for the comic con so this online event is a good chance for me to participate.

Ok, it’s not the same as a “real” comic con, but I’m really thrilled about it.

I expect some big news on the show. A short season 2 teaser would be great!

Also some casting news are most likely to be presented then.

Who will be playing this new Ryan Wilder character? ….would be the most interesting question that demands an answer!

Also any news on the storyline of season 2 would be highly welcome!

Looking forward to this event!

And hopefully we get some infos on season 2 in the meantime as well 😉

In general any teaser and trailers on DC shows or movies are also interesting off course.

Should be an interesting day with a lot of news!
