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

by

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.

Batwoman news: Promo posters and behind the scenes pictures

by

Before the “regular” weekly post on Sunday, I wanna make a quick post today about the Batwoman TV show as I stumbled upon some really cool pictures this week!

 

For starters, these new Batwoman promo posters were published yesterday:

(click to enlarge to full size)

–

Really cool promo poster! I especially like that Ryan/Batwoman have the exact same head pose, so it shows her transformation by putting on her Batwoman cowl.

One of them already made it into the new headline of this blog 😉

A nice template for how she looks unmasked!

Would be pretty cool if someone would movie her unmasked head onto the version with the costume……

 

–

Rachel Skarsten posted these pictures on her Instagram yesterday:

–

The Kane family reunited! Well, except Mary to be precise. At least they are together on set for now, but that will happen on the show as well…sooner or later.

Jacob (Dougray Scott) looks so weird with that happy smile 😆 ….as he normally is mostly sad or angry on the show.

Can’t wait to see Wallis Day on the show…… as the

Spoiler title
three short Kate Kane scenes only showed a bandaged woman….that could have been as well played by a stuntwoman.
.

Will finally watch (at least) the first couple of episodes of Krypton the next few days to see her in action for a longer time.

–

Also, Christina Wolfe posted this picture:

(click to enlarge)

–

The first behind-the-scenes picture that I found of her in the Batwoman costume and cowl!

It was great to see her in that suit back in season 1 (episode 7)! Well, perhaps she will put that one again for a mission in the future…or another costume with a mask….that would be really great!

–

I wanna promote a really good site for Batwoman fans:

https://batwoman.tv/

I am on that site pretty often, it’s a really good source for recaps, picture galleries, trailers, casting news, and synopsizes of future episodes (which I link to in the Batwoman sites here on the blog)!

You can easily create an account there and then comment on their posts or visit the forum for discussions with other fans!

New promo poster, some behind the scenes pictures + trailer for episode 7 [Batwoman]

by

There wasn’t a new Batwoman episode last Sunday as the CW was airing the Critics Choice Awards.

Episode 7 “It’s Best You Stop Digging” will be aired next Sunday (March 14).

Today I wanna make a quick post as I forgot to post the newest, really cool promo poster!

Also, I will post some “behind the scenes” pictures I found over the last 2 weeks.

The new promo poster:

(click to enlarge)

–

A cool poster for sure! As all the other ones were pretty dark, it’s good to have one which has a much brighter tone.

Still looking for an image with a higher resolution than this one (1080×1350) of this poster as it would look really cool on a wall.

–

Here are some behind the scenes pictures:

(click to enlarge)

–

Also, I wanna put the trailer for the next episode in here, as he

Spoiler title
spoilers some….action….that is related to this blog. 😉

But be WARNED, if you want to be surprised, don’t watch this teaser.

–

Don’t read any further until you have seen the trailer!

Yeah, I know that Batwoman/Ryan is desperate to get to kill Alice as she thinks she will die soon because of her Kryptonite wound.

But Alice really finds out the secret identity of Batwoman way too easy for my taste. In season 1 she noticed her sister’s eyes under the cowl in episode 2. Here the new Batwoman unmasks herself willingly to get her personal revenge on Alice.

In season 1 Alice had her reasons to not let everyone know that Kate is Batwoman as she wanted to destroy Batwoman and at the same time wanted to keep her sister Kate safe.

But now, with Ryan the situation is different. Alice won’t be killed in the episode, that’s 99,99999999% sure. So, Alice could easily use her knowledge of Batwoman’s secret identity to her advantage at any time. For example, she could easily blackmail Batwoman to expose her secret identity if she would come after Alice again…

I wonder how that will play out. And I surely don’t want that her secret identity to get exposed to the public as that would be the end for Ryan ….and maybe even her team?

More Batwoman news!

I wanna present some of the pictures that showed up in the last 2 weeks or so:

I hope for some juicy news in this week…or at least next week 😉

The costume reveal is “in the air”.

————

*EDIT1, September 24th*:

New casting news for season 2!

A henchwoman named Whisper and a Zen gardner named Ocean have recurring roles in season 2.

https://deadline.com/2020/09/batwoman-leah-gibson-nathan-owens-recur-the-cw-superhero-series-1234583200/

 

Well, I have seen Jessica Jones but I don’t remember Leah Gibsons role.
She certainly looks like she could be a fine henchwoman!

I thought that I would know Nathan Owens from Black Lightning but I actually confused him with Jordan Calloway.
His role description is…well….quite bizarre….for my taste:
A former soldier who is now a Zen gardner(!) named Ocean???
Sounds like he really was traumatised a LOT in his former career. ;-)

Looking forward to find out more about their roles!

*EDIT2, September 24th* I finished entries 11+12 for the Hall of Fame and will do another one in the next hours!

Batwoman news: Casting news, pictures and DC Fandome reminder

by

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 Special – Preview for the final episode of season 1 ….and more

by

Post 2 out of 2 for today!

I mostly recovered from the shock that Batwoman’s second season starts in January 2021 instead of the fall later this year.

Due to the Corona virus they simply can’t shoot soon enough to keep the usual fall start of (most of) their Arrowverse shows.

(click to enlarge)

 

On the good side CW president Mark Pedowitz mentioned that they -nonetheless- intend to give the Arrowverse shows “full” seasons with up to 22 episodes.

Normally the CW shows which start in January only get up to 13 episodes so they would be all aired before the summer.

Supergirl and Legends of Tomorrow starting even later in “midseason” which should be in March/April.

If these two will get short seasons with only 13 episodes….the other Arrowverse shows which start 2 or 3 months earlier in January…should have more episodes as they simply have more time to air episodes. IF all of these shows end around the same time which they should.

So, if Batwoman’s second season would get a full season with around 20 episodes, it would air until July or even August.

Of course I would love as many episodes as possible in this second season.

I would be already ok with 16 episodes….but 18 or more episodes would be really great!

To have to wait 3 months longer for new episodes is one bad thing.

But….IF we get a (nearly) full season after all, I would be very happy!

In the end the most important aspect is how many episodes the season will actually get.

———————-

 

Let’s focus on the final episode of the show, which will be shown on the CW today (starting tomorrow on the app/cw site)!

Here is the trailer:

–

With the knowledge of the last episodes, the synopsis and pictures for this final episode of the season…..this should become a worthy, tragic, emotional finale to this season!

What will Alice, Hush and Mouse do? Are they ALL willing to kill Batwoman?

Why do the Crows capture Mary?

Why is Kate crying? Something really horrible must have happened! Was she unmasked by the Crows? Was someone hurt or even killed that she cares for?

Will Sophie and Julia be able to save Batwoman (if needed)?

What’s with the kryptonite? Will it be used in some weapon? How will the villains get kryptonite?

Will someone not survive the episode?

I am soooo thrilled about this episode! I am expecting a tragic and dramatic episode with a solid cliffhanger at the end.

Also I’m sad about it….just as it is the last new Batwoman episode for nearly 8 months.

Batwoman Special – Preview for the last two episodes of the season

by

Only two more episodes of Batwoman, and there is a trailer for the next episode on sunday available and also synopsises and promo pictures for both episodes!

And especially the trailer and the promo pictures offer a lot of highly interesting questions!

I only present official promo material, but I present my ideas about what might happen….

…So….. POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!

POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD!

Let’s start with episode 19 that will air on Sunday 10th:

Trailer:

–

The synopsis:

CRACKING THE CODE – When members of Gotham’s intelligentsia begin disappearing, Commander Kane (Dougray Scott), Sophie (Meagan Tandy) and the Crows go searching for the newest homicidal threat to the city. In the meantime, Kate (Ruby Rose) is consumed with someone’s betrayal and starts questioning the loyalty of everyone around her just when she needs them most. So when Luke (Camrus Johnson) and Julia (guest star Christina Wolfe) go missing, Batwoman must rely on Mary (Nicole Kang) and a former foe to deploy her rescue mission. Meanwhile, Alice (Rachel Skarsten) enlists Tommy Elliot (guest star Gabriel Mann) to help acquire an elusive item that her sister also seeks. Greg Beeman directed the episode written by Jerry Shandy and Kelly Larson (#119). Original airdate 5/10/2020.

————————–

Episode 20 will air on Sunday 17th:

There is no trailer for the final episode yet, as they are released when one episode was aired.

But the synsopis and the promo pictures are VERY interesting!

The synopsis:

SEASON FINALE – When one of Gotham’s former heroes returns to his old stomping grounds to settle a score, both Batwoman (Ruby Rose) and Commander Kane (Dougray Scott) find themselves on the defensive. Meanwhile, Alice (Rachel Skarsten) has uncovered what could finally take down Batwoman, but she is losing hold on her henchman Mouse (guest star Sam Littlefield) and Hush (guest star Gabriel Mann), sending her spiraling into her most wicked self. Luke (Camrus Johnson) immediately focuses on finding a way to protect Batwoman from Alice, and Mary (Nicole Kang) has a chance to be the sister Kate has needed all along. New information surfaces, forcing Julia (guest star Christina Wolfe) to warn Sophie (Meagan Tandy) about the person pulling the strings. And in a final standoff, when Commander Kane refuses to retreat from his war on Batwoman, Kate may find herself more than heartbroken by her father’s choices. Amanda Tapping directed the episode written by Holly Henderson and Don Whitehead (#120). Original airdate 5/17/2020.

>>> So, if you combine all these infos together, a LOT of questions can be asked! <<<

– What are the goals of Hush, Alice and Mouse? Seems that the are different. And I guess that Hush and Mouse do wanna hunt down Batwoman! And Alice doesn’t want that, even Kate locked her up in Arkham, I’m sure she doesn’t want Kate to be killed. Also Alice and Mouse know who Batwoman is! Will they tell Hush? Or will he find out about Kate Kane’s night job on his own? What will happen with Mouse? The last episode is called “O, Mouse!” and I somehow have a strong feeling that Mouse won’t survive, as Alice might have to choose between Mouse and her sister. I’m sure that Mouse will be a thread to Batwoman and that she will side with her sister in the end.

– What happens between Batwoman and Jacob? It clearly seems that they collide and Jacob now really does want Batwoman to be taken down! What will happen? Will he find out who Batwoman is under that mask? I wouldn’t be totally surprised if he will even die in the season finale as it is mentioned how heartbroken Kate is! But I would rather say that he will survive….And I would love if Jacob would at least try to unmask Batwoman! I don’t want Kate to tell him her secret…..that would be really the worst solution.

– What kind of weapon can be found in that journal? Seemingly it is a BIG danger to Batwoman. Why does Alice want it? Why is Julia and her mysterious contact after it?

– Who is Julia working for? Is it Safiyah? That might be the safest bet….

– The promo pictures indicate that both Julia and Luke gets kidnapped! They may want Luke for decoding the journal….but what do they want with Julia?

– Who is that former hero of Gotham that the synopsis for episode 20 is mentioning? Of course my dream scenario would be Batgirl….but that chance is slim….very slim. But what about her father? I think the chances are not too bad that Jim Gordon will show up! Or will it be one of the other vigilantes from the Bat-family? I hope the trailer for the episode will show us something!

– Why is Parker in the Batcave? I guess she will try to decode that journal too….but therefore team Batwoman would need to get it first.

– What will happen between Julia, Sophie and Kate? Kate wasn’t happy about seeing them together in the trailer….

– Also what about Reagan? Will Kate forgive her? Will Magpie show up again?

–

Oh man, I expect a lot of twists and tragedy from these last two episodes of the season!

And hopefully a BIG, nail-biting cliffhanger!

Can’t wait!

Batwoman Special, April 24

by

Some updates on the Batwoman TV show:

Finally the new episode is around the corner and airs on sunday.
Damn, that was a long 5 weeks without new episodes. Can’t imagine how long the break between the seasons will feel. 🙁
This sunday episode 17 will air, here is the trailer:

—
Sunday next week episode 18 will air.
Synopsis here:
https://batwoman.tv/if-you-believe-in-m … u-synopsis
–

A reliable source say the season has 20 episodes (instead of the 22 that were planned before the Virus).
These episodes will be aired weekly until the final episode of season 1 on May 17.
So there will be 4 new episodes in the next 23 days!

–

And here is a new poster for the show:

(click to enlarge to full size)

–

I am really happy about the return of the show and hope that they can start filming again in the summer somehow, so the second sesason can be aired as usually from october onwards.

–

 

*EDIT* Update, April 25:

Two of the Promo pictures for episode 18, more details below….

–

These are some of the fresh promo images from episode 18, which will be shown on May 3rd.
Damn, what a sexy situation that is perfect for a lot of possible, sexy outcomes!
Noticed that barrel of money in his hand.
What is the guy up to?
Does he want to sell Batwoman to the highest bidder?
Does he want to sell her UNMASKING to the highest bidder?
How was she captured?
How will she get out of this?

Personally I would love to see him reaching for her mask, yanking a little on it while Batwoman starts to panic.
Then, just before the mask comes off, she gets saved by someone.
I guess that won’t happen….but however, this will be a verrrrrrrry, sexy and perilous scene!
–

P.S.: Seems they get fond of tying her up. She was already tied up in episode 13 (“Drink me”) as Nocturna captured her 🙂
