…well not the ….actual nutj*b who is in the white house right now, but the US President in the Supergirl TV-series.
In this last episode before the Elseworlds crossover event, we got some great lines about her secret identity.
And I know that Supergirl isn’t “masked” and that actually Kara Denvers is the “masked” alter ego (with the glasses and the different hairstyle 😉 ).
However I found this dialogue between the President and Supergirl….very interesting! He wants to know more about Supergirl….MUCH more 🙂

And here is the video:

Well, I do love talk about unmaskings and secret identities. And the fact that he tries to force her to give up her secret identity, is kind of sexy 😉
But Supergirl knows about the catastrophic consequences if she would give it up and thereby expose Kara and especially her loved ones. Every villain could easily come after them…
She knows that Supergirl and Kara MUST co-exist to keep her friends and family safe.
And so she doesn’t let her “mask” down 🙂
It was the right choice…..but I am looking forward to the next episodes and the consequences.
Ok folks, now that all episodes of the Elseworlds Crossover event were shown, this weeks post will be done today instead of posting it on the usual sunday.
Because nobody should be kept waiting to see this material 😉
I do have two videos and one big picture gallery for you. For the first video I combined all Batwoman scenes in one video and I did the same with the Kate Kane scenes in the second video.
My opinions on all of this can be found on the last part of the post.

I recommend that you watch the video with Kate Kane first, for a better understanding!!!

My opinion on the Crossover:
—> In general:
It was a lot of FUN! Many funny scenes, sooo many Easter Eggs (Batman villains, Smallville, Legends of Tomorrow and more) and a pretty good story with some really good action scenes as well. I think it was a good idea to make this years Crossover a little “smaller” with just 3 episodes from 3 shows. I like it when you don’t have too many characters in it. With the Legends of Tomorrow it was a little too much for my taste.
The idea with the alternative realities is pretty cool. It was very interesting to see some of the cast in other roles. The scene with Kate and Kara was very important to introduce Kate to the Arrowverse and give her some depths before presenting Batwoman. And that brings me to my biggest interest in this years crossover….
—> Batwoman:
It is no big surprise to most of you that I have a “thing” for masked women. 😉
So, the idea of bringing Batwoman into the Crossover this year, fueled my anticipation BIG time. Since months I really was looking forward to see her on the screen. Instead of most heroines and villainesses I saw in the past on TV, comics and the internet, Batwoman has a “real” mask. A mask that actually really covers her secret identity (and a wig for even more cover). She is one of my favorites among Batgirl, Catwoman and Black Scorpion. And the idea to introduce Batwoman in the Crossover and (and hopefully!!!) giving her her own TV show next year…..seems fucking fantastic to me!
As I heard that Ruby Rose would play her, I didn’t really know what to think of it. I had seen only very little of her and decided to watch/re-watch more of her the last months (Triple X 3, Wick 2, Resident Evil: Final Chapter, Meg). And now I am very happy about the fact that she got the role. Of course her part wasn’t very big (around 8 Minutes as Batwoman AND Kate Kane), BUT I really think she will/would do a great job in her own TV-series.
The mask/cowl looks fantastic and her costume is pretty good. The Batwoman symbol looks really good on her. Ok, I would tried something with leather and rubber on the suit (like the Batgirl suit from Batman and Robin or Birds of Prey…but perhaps that would have been too much for some folks 😉 )
And that possible TV-series….would be a DREAM coming true for me. Always wanted a big TV show with a masked heroine in the main role. The only other two I know are “Queen of Swords” and “Black Scorpion” and both had only one season each, which lay back quite some time now.
—> Unmasking action:
Well, for less than 4 minutes of Batwoman, I think we got quite a lot!
Kate walks over to her costume and cowl. Really cool to see her standing before it.
And actually Batwoman got UNMASKED by Supergirl. Ok, the mask didn’t come off physically, BUT the very curious Supergirl uses the X-ray vision to see behind the cowl of Batwoman, finding Kate Kane under it.
But nice as Supergirl is, she easily gives up her own secret identity to Batwoman as well. And both already have a strong bond to each other, so they both know they can trust each other with their secrets.
And the possibilities for more unmasking action with Batwoman in that possible TV-show are…..ENDLESS. 🙂
–
Ok, enough from me for now.
What do you think about the Crossover and especially Batwoman in it?
Leave your comment below!

P.S.: You may have notice the change in the picture headline on top of the blog already… 😉
Well, just a short and last post only some hours before the first part of the Elseworlds crossover in which Batwoman will appear for the first time on TV.
I will make posts with all the scenes with Batwoman next week (after I have seen all 3 parts), but until then a final video with great footage with her:
Pretty cool poster! My two favorites are on the right half 😉

I am looking forward to find out how much screen time Batwoman and Kate Kane actually get.
The whole crossover with the 3 parts is around 2 hours long. We know that the heroes will go to Gotham City in the second episode where they meet “both”.
Hard to tell how much Kate and Batwoman will be involved in the third episode. But of course I hope Batwoman will still help them in that last chapter!
–
And….we got a real trailer that shows about one minute of material…that is a step forward 😉
–
With the first seconds of Kate Kane on-screen!
Right now my main question is how Kate Kane and Batwoman are behave towards all those heroes that arrive in Gotham.
Why do they travel to Gotham? How is Kate and Batwoman involved in all of this?? Will they figure out that Kate IS Batwoman???
But these questions will be answered pretty soon!
Only 4 days left (for the ones in the US / 5 days for me)!
Ok, only 9 days left until the big crossover event “Elseworlds” starts with Batwoman aka Kate Kane (played by Ruby Rose).
There is still no real trailer out (nothing with more than 30 seconds) but, perhaps this weekend or early next week at the latest.
Until then….I still have something new to show you folks.
2 new pictures with Batwoman have surfaced yesterday:
(click to enlarge)
–
These pictures are a great addition!
Love the good look at her mask in the first one. And Stephen Amell (aka “Flash”) looks really….funny/disgusted (?) in this one. Yeah, he isn’t used to female vigilantes with a real mask 😉
Or Batwoman doesn’t want to play along with the other good guys.
On the second picture, someone is standing behind Batwoman, and pretty close. In my fantasy that person is reaching for her mask from behind before getting a massive kick from Batwoman ;-).
Who is that? We will see…..
But in any case, I’m still hyped like hell about Batwoman in this show. Finally a heroine with a perfect disguise on TV. Her secret identity is hidden very well, and no one could possible know who she is without unmasking her.
And that’s exactly like I love it.
Still it isn’t clear if the mask goes around the whole head (back?), but we will see that sooner or later too.
–
Here is a “extended” teaser/trailer, but that just means that it has 30 seconds instead of 20 😉
–
Still not a real trailer, but we do see Batwoman and a Batarang!
A little late, but of course this teaser must be on this blog as well….because…it has the first scenes of Batwoman in “action”!
Ok, just a teaser with some seconds of her…but a great appetizer!
–
A real trailer should be there soon! 😉
–
And from this news it looks like Batwoman will first appear in the 2nd part of the crossover (Arrow), so we need to wait one more day for her…..but that is not a problem 😉
For today I got 2 rather short scenes, but interesting stuff.
In the first scene Flashs cowl gets damaged. The rubber of his mask gets ripped in some places. I love it when masks gets damaged….and now imagine a woman behind that cowl…. 🙂

Here is the video:

And I have another short scene for you.
James Olsen talks with Supergirl about his plans of unmasking himself (as he is masked vigilante Guardian) and why Supergirl needs to keep her secret identity (that brilliant ….”glasses + different hairstyle”- disguise…. 😉 )

Here is the video:

Yeah, how much I wish Supergirl would wear a mask… I like her disguise as Kara. And the fact that she really cares about not being exposed as being Supergirl.
It’s always a little thrill to me that she might be exposed and outed as Supergirl.
Especially that Lena Luthor might find out….she really likes Kara, but has pretty big problems lately with Supergirl…
Let’s see how long Supergirl can protect her secret from Lena. 😉
So, it was finally about time that Reign gets unmasked. Well, most of the folks actually know already who’s under the mask (damn!), but the daughter of Reigns alter ego doesn’t know, so there is a big surprise coming for her…. 🙂
Finally UNMASKED!

And here is the video:
–
Of course it was pretty uncool that here identity was known to the good guys before this unmasking. But the fact that her daughter didn’t know about it is nice. In my version Reign would have been unmasked after a long battle. No one would know about her secret identity. Supergirl would rip off her mask while Reign would fight desperately against it. And then her big secret would be out. My biggest fear was that she just unmasks herself…that didn’t happen, that was a good surprise. It’s better that her mask comes off like this. Even though she doesn’t care at all about her unmasking… 🙁 . The reaction of her daughter to the unmasking is pretty cool.
And that the mask would fall off like that…after she has been in much more intense action scenes…kind of odd.
And they cheated:
The mask on the floor in strapless. The mask she wears is held by straps…
–
But such an “accidental” unmasking is pretty rare. I like the scene (even it had much more potential).
Don’t know why I didn’t think about making a video about Overgirl. Overgirl is the nazi version of Supergirl, and she wears a mask. A full face mask with only her hair visible!
She appeared in the 4 episodes crossover event “Crisis on Earth X” with episodes of Supergirl, Arrow, The Flash and Legends of Tomorrow.
In this video I included all major scenes where she appears masked and included all 3 unmaskings (I think that’s all).
Preview:
Overgirl!
In action!
Defeated?
The heroes VS the villains!
Overgirl….
…in some trouble now!

And here is the video:
–
Well, that crossover with Overgirl really was pretty great for me.
[SPOILERS ahead!]
The positive aspects:
I really like Melissa Benoist as Supergirl. And to see her playing an evil version of her was really something. I like the Supergirl costume with the overknee boots, pantyhose and the skirt. Really sexy. And the outfit of Overgirl is really hot as well. Black leather overknee boots, a very stunning costume and the mask. A real mask that hides her secret identity perfect. Pretty much the opposite of Supergirls secret identity where she wears her hair different and put on glasses (well, even if that is at least better than Supermans disguise). That costume with that mask is really fantastic. And I love the dialogue at the beginning (0:28): “Who are you?” – “Come and find out!” – GREAT! Really sexy lines….. 🙂
–
The negative aspects:
So much I love the fact that she wears a full face mask. The material could be much better. I would put a leather/rubber mask on Melissa Benoist. And the unmasking…..well, that’s pretty much the worst unmasking you can produce! She pushes a button and the mask vanishes….seriously? AHHHHHHHH, how lame is that. And the fact that Overgirl (and the others) are unmasking themselves willingly….really UNCOOL! In my version, where Overgirl has a leather/rubber mask…Supergirl would have fought her, grapped her from behind and would start to rip her mask. Overgirl would stop the unmasking attempt in a long struggle. But later she would be slowly unmasked by Supergirl…
–
Ok, of course there is a lot of room for improvement. But I get that the producers don’t have an unmasking fetish (normally) like we do. Overall I’m quite happy how it turned out.
–
Your ideas on Overgirl and her scenes? Feel welcome to leave a comment!
Well, that’s right in one way. Like Superman/Clark Kent, Supergirl is “masked” when she is in her civilian identity Kara. She then wears glasses (like Clark) and wears a pony tail.
Yeah, a pretty stupid “disguise”, but at least a better one in comparison with Superman.
The scene I edited for you guys is indeed fitting to this blog without a mask.
Kara enters an elevator and rips open her blouse, revealing her Supergirl outfit underneath. And that before the doors have closed!
How clumsy of her, that could have given her secret away!
In the elevator she gets a panic attack while her blouse is still “open”. She is in great danger of being exposed… everyone who would enter the elevator could find out that Kara is Supergirl!
Preview:
Interesting!
Kara/Supergirl unmasked!
Now with her Supergirl outfit!

And here is the video:

I was really thrilled of that scene! She could have been easily exposed….
Pretty weird that the holes in the elevator and the rooftop weren’t mentioned later in the episode…
