Masked women in movies, tv-series, cosplay, comics, fan art and fan movies – With villainesses and heroines like Catwoman, Batgirl, Batwoman, Black Scorpion and Spider-gwen. Unmaskings included!
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!

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

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.
–
My favorite scenes from the trailer:
Why is Batwoman so shocked?
Cornered by the Crows! Can she protect her secret identity? Or will they unmask her?
(cropped images from the trailer – click to enlarge)
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.
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!

(many more promo pictures can be found with the links above)
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:
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:

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:

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 🙂
