In this one “Supergirl” (in her Spider-girl costume) saves the day but encounters some problems afterward!
An epic, bizarre self-unmasking battle is the result 😆

She saved the day once more!
Well, something is wrong!
Her mask!
The epic self-unmasking battle goes on…

This is a very early episode of “Supergirl” where she runs around in a costume that looks a LOT like the early “Spider-girl” costumes from the comics and animated TV shows.
Quite bizarre already.
But what then happens inside her home is ….also… quite bizarre and pretty unique.
A heroine who desperately tries to unmask herself over and over again… That is quite a very rare situation!
Her mask is magic and the source of her superpowers. Most of the time…not always… it is secured in place by some kind of force and bad guys have a very, very hard time to unmask her.
Which is quite great by the way 😉
But from what I understand her mask has also some kind of own will or something like that.
I guess it wanted her to stay in her Supergirl/Spider-girl costume 😉
Really odd how she gets thrown around/jumps around the room 😆
Of course, the CGI with the magic mask looks quite bad (#blurry), but the sound effects are nice.
And it’s a nice reversed situation.
Normally masked superheroines don’t want to be unmasked and here she wants to unmask herself but has such a hard time.
Thanks a lot (again) to the one who recommended me this one a while ago!
This bizarre Superheroine show is quite a rollercoaster.
It has 129(!) episodes, which are available on Youtube!
A masked superheroine in different costumes and solid masks is the lead character!
It has a lot of secret identity issues incl. unmaskings and unmasking attempts!
It even has a masked villainess that is in many episodes!
Sounds fantastic? Well yes…. BUT…. there are also some problems.
More on that later on…

Supergirl!?!
And a masked villainess!
She is pinned down and someone is reaching for her mask!

I combined scenes from 2 episodes for this one. One episode ends just after the villainess unmasked herself and we see Supergirl’s shocked face. #cliffhanger
–
Here are the problems the show has for me:
– Obviously, the language issue if you are not familiar with it… no dub or subtitles are available
– The playlist of this show has 129 videos with episodes but they are …often… not in order… a total mess
– It’s a soap opera, a really over-the-top soap opera… that you can realize very quickly without understanding a word 😆
– Really bad CGI and a total overload of superpowers
– some really annoying characters like a magic micro-mini-human
But, it also has a lot to offer 🙂 (as mentioned above)
Now to the scene itself:
Supergirl knows who the villain is, I think she was/is in love with him as he was turned into this evil character.
So he is shocked to find her under the mask of his enemy… Supergirl.
He wants to protect her so he carries the unmasked Supergirl away before the villainess can find her.
It’s been a while since I watched (skipped through) these episodes and the language issue makes it a lot more difficult to follow the crazy storyline.
I like the struggle with her and that he unmasks her, even the camera should be more focused on her face.
But I certainly love the expression on her face as she realizes in terror that he unmasked her.
She should have put up more of a fight… but I guess the way she got smashed against the tree was still affecting her big time.
I love how the guy is tossing her mask on the ground as he isn’t exactly happy about finding out that his love was Supergirl the whole time.
All in all, a really interesting scene.
In other episodes, she is wearing a costume that makes her look like a version of Spider-girl, also really interesting!
And the mask is actually the source of her power, as soon she puts it on she turns into the superheroine.
That means an unmasking leaves her powerless AND destroys her secret identity, quite a combo.
I guess I could make …at least…. 5 more posts with scenes from this show.
I will think about it….
–
The hint where to find the playlist with the other episodes can be easily found in the video 😉

I already celebrated with a good whisky!
Kind of a surprise for me that ALL CW superhero shows got renewed. Even Legends of Tomorrow was renewed for season 6….before their season 5 even started!
You can like the CW or not, but it is really a good partner for these superhero shows, not ONE…not ONE of these superhero shows… got cancelled ….ever!!!!
(Arrow only ended because of Stephen Amell had enough after 8 seasons)
–
And this means…….Batwoman is actually the FIRST TV show with a masked female lead….that made it to a SECOND season!
The show suceeded where shows like Queen of Swords and Black Scorpion has failed.

By the way:
The last two episodes of the CRISIS Crossover are just one week away!
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

…..nail-biting, 5 weeks cliffhanger!…..

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):

– Kevin Conroy (voice of the animated Batman) will play an old version of Batman in the Crossover (from another earth?)!
– Black Lightning will show up at some point in the Crossover

New info on the Batwoman show:
– Like in the comics…Kate will be jewish in the TV show (now official)
– Another villain for season 1: Magpie (a jewel thief…but as it seems without a mask?)
– Her red wig (and the real Batwoman costume) will be introduced in episode 3 (the all-black Batman-style costume in ep 1 and 2) [/Spoiler]

Some selected new images:
A Set and a slate (Damn, I would love to have one of those!)
(the last two pictures are from the pilot, these scenes were in part in the trailer)
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! 😉
This new promo picture from the CW has the vital info we have been waiting for….

And as you can see on the right side, I adjusted the Batwoman countdown-clock to that date! 111 days to go!
The show starts just a little earlier than I expected, and I feel like it is an early birthday present when it will hit the screen. 🙂
–
The filming of all episodes (besides 1, which is already completed) will start in early July.
The San Diego Comic con goes from July 18 to 21.
Keeping these two facts in mind, I am sure we will get new material and facts on the show next month. Promo pictures, pictures from the filming…perhaps some videos.
–
Damn, this guy is excited like hell for the next months…and especially for October 😉
In the last episode of the season we get a powerful scene between Lex and Lena Luthor. And I love how she finally realises now, what was going on right in front of her.
Kara and Lena were best friends, but Kara couldn’t bring herself to tell her that she actually is Supergirl (and that she was hiding that from her).
But from now on….things will change….

And here is the video:
–
Well, I love how he exposes Kara/Supergirl…revealing her deepest secret to Lena.
And of course a world is breaking down for her. I guess she may turn into a villainess next season 😉
Lex did know Supergirl’s secret all the time (which wasn’t explained…) and he didn’t use that vital information against her (why?).
Perhaps Lena will handle things differently….
–
If you paid attention, you may have noticed the gun change in Lenas hand 😆
First a silver revolver…then a black pistol. Oh man…
–
This is the episode in which you can find this scene:
Well, yeah, this …full face helmet of Red Daughter does qualify as a mask to me, even that is not the real purpose of it. It is part of her battle costume and has some functions in a fight as it seems.
Anyway I like the struggle between them, especially in the daylight. Really looking forward on how this will develop in the last episode of the season.

In case you wanna know from which episode that was taken:
