The Flash

Batwoman will be in season 9 of The Flash!

by
Post 1 of 2 for today!

Just a quick post:

Javicia Leslie will be in season 9 of the Flash in a double role!

She will be Batwoman/Ryan but also

Spoiler title
Red Death! A female version of a big villain.

After Batwoman’s own show was not renewed earlier this year it had a very unsatisfying ending.

I’m glad that she will be back and hope she will be in many episodes! Also, I’m looking forward to this double role, very interesting.

Would be nice to get a little more “closure”.

After the Arrowverse is ending soon it will be one more reason to look forward to the last season of the Flash!

I hope for many masked ladies in that one, would be a nice farewell gift 😉

Same woman…. different mask and costume! [The Flash]

by

Last week I posted about a masked thief that wasn’t really a criminal.

This time I wanna put the focus on her again as she wants to put her power to good use… and therefore she gets a new costume and cowl!

And here is the video:

–

I decided to show her unmasked face in the pictures above as she already was seen unmasked in my post from last week.

Ok, as always, I am annoyed about how careless these guys and girls are with their secret identities as they unmask in public way too often.

She even runs around without a mask in the beginning. Yes, she has super speed so no one can identify her while she is running….I guess.

But some back alley isn’t exactly a safe place to run around in costume…without a mask! Especially during the day. At any time somebody could show up and could see their exposed faces!

Also, as I mentioned before, I HATE this “magic” masks a LOT! It’s a complete, insane fantasy that that might ever work.

But for the movie folks, it’s a very easy and convenient way to have a quick unmasking, without hassling with an actual mask that might be difficult to remove. And Barry’s hair just looks perfect after the “unmasking” 😆

I really like her costume a lot! It basically looks like a smooth skin wetsuit with some extras. The black fabric looks really great and I think that it is very sexy.

Her mask is sadly (but logically) from the same lame fabric as the Flash mask, it’s ok…but nothing like the great rubber cowl he wore in earlier seasons.

BUT… it covers her face well enough and it’s a solid disguise and I would love to have her around in much more episodes, but after the ending of season 8, that doesn’t seem to happen…and well season 9 will be the last one anyhow.

Seeing a woman in such a costume and cowl in this show was a real treat for me and was a great way to end the season after it had quite a lot of boring episodes in the mid-section.

–

My version of a Flash TV show would be like this:

A woman as the Flash

A woman that is taller than “Fast Track” and is a little curvier in a certain region…

Use that costume, but add a massive rubber cowl to it. (like Flash had in early seasons)

And there is NO damn magic way for her to mask or unmask!

Also, there would be some villains who are actually interested in her secret identity!

And they would actually try to find out who she is by trying to remove her mask! (Yes, that is actually a possibility…. looking at you… Batwoman TV show)

She wouldn’t self-unmask every 5 minutes 😉

Adding some sexy villainesses (some masked) to it.

Use very little fantasy and magic. The Flash has her superpowers but only very few villains would have some. The villains would have their ways to sabotage her powers and would rely on some gadgets.

–

These scenes were from this episode:

(she also appears in costume in the episode after that)

Ok, enough from me…

What do you think about her costume?

The Flash catches a masked female thief….

by

…who returns a stolen item!? Quite an odd thief!

So, finally a new interesting scene from the Flash TV show for this blog!

After watching the first 13 episodes of the last season 8 I decided to take a break from the Flash as the show was getting less and less interesting for me over the last years.

The beginning of season 8 was nice as it had the big Flash Armageddon event where Batwoman and Canary showed up.

After these episodes, the season got quickly rather boring for me. Weird storylines and lame action aren’t good things to have 😉

But I knew that the end of the season would have some episodes that might be interesting for this blog so I resumed watching the show.

Today I wanna show the first scene with a very interesting character, and this is only the start… I will make another post about her in a real costume next weekend.

Here is the video:

–

Well, I like the mask combo with the hood plus the half mask covering the lower part of her face.

Seemingly it’s forbidden that someone ….even tries… to unmask a masked woman in a movie or TV show these days…. so I had no big hopes that the Flash would actually unmask her.

So, her self-unmasking was rather easy to predict 😉

But with the hood and the half mask, it’s at least a good reveal as her face was covered really well.

And as I said, this is only the beginning… she will have a really good costume and cowl after this episode 🙂

Will make another post with her the next Sunday.

Batwoman in the Flash Armageddon event – Update 2 + a “Gotham Knights” TV show will be made!

by

Just a quick post about the final fifth episode of the Armageddon event (Flash, season 8, episode 5).

Well, the bad news is…… Batwoman/Ryan didn’t return to Central City for another appearance, so she was only in (the last moments of) episode 3 and in episode 4.

The good news is that (new) Green Arrow finally showed up.

Here are some pictures:

(click to enlarge)

–

She had some nice scenes but without any secret identity issues at all, as they (team Flash) know who she is under her tiny mask and the villains don’t care (at least the hood adds a bit extra disguise).

I’m still a little sad that she didn’t get her own show as they canceled the Spin-off with her and the canaries.

So I guess this may have been her last appearance as Green Arrow unless she will make appearances in other future crossovers. 🙁

All in all the Armageddon event was …well….nice. Entertaining with some odd story aspects here and there.

Lately, they come up with way too many convenient crazy sci-fi gadgets whenever they are needed. There is basically no problem they won’t have some sort of gadget for.

The Flash is now on break until March 9.

Batwoman will return on January 12 and I’m very much looking forward to it!

–

 

Some more news:

Three writers of the Batwoman production are developing a “Gotham Knights” TV show!

https://deadline.com/2021/12/gotham-knights-the-cw-developing-batwoman-alums-natalie-abrams-chad-fiveash-james-stoteraux-1234890384/
–

Right now I’m careful as we know only little and I am afraid as hell that they will have a Batgirl in a Burnside costume with an eye mask or that “helmet” thingy (aka cowl without a chinstrap).

But it does sound really great to have another TV show that will have masked female vigilantes and villainesses in it!

Already there are speculations that this TV show might be some sort of successor when the Batwoman TV show would end.

If that really is the case it would be good to have some sort of replacement like this new show, and I (and others) would have something to look forward to.

But right now, in the middle of season 3 of Batwoman, there is no news about a 4th season….so far.

Perhaps they will make the 4th season and then Gotham Knights would be the next show after the 4th season has been aired.

Or both shows will run simultaneously at the CW.

Hopefully, there will be news soon.

Batwoman in the Flash Armageddon event – Update

by

A quick post about Batwoman/Ryan Wilder’s appearance in the Flash Armageddon event.

Minor Spoilers ahead!

Minor Spoilers ahead!

As you may know by now this event takes place in the first 5 episodes of season 8 of The Flash.

Ryan first briefly appears in the last moments of episode 3.

This week, episode 4 aired and finally, we get some real screentime of both.

Yeah, Batwoman is only there for a short action scene, but at least something. Later on, Ryan appears in a short scene with Iris as well, but that’s it for this episode.

Some pictures:

(click to enlarge)

–

These scenes play 10 years in the future, or to be more precise….in A possible future.

So, it’s hard to say how serious to take all of it….at least for me.

In this future, Ryan and Sophie wanna adopt a child which is a possible hint that they might end up together like some folks including me, are thinking.

But well, as I said, it is A possible future….so hard to say how this episode can be seen as an indicator of how things will develop.

It’s a fun episode and as there is one more episode to go….I hope that Batwoman will return for that!

So far, the (new) Arrow hasn’t shown up so I am thrilled for her appearance in the next episode.

Here is a Batwoman poster for the Armageddon event:

Stargirl – Season 2, episode 13 + Armageddon poster with Batwoman

by

Watched the last episode of season 2 of Stargirl, and it’s time for a little review!

If you have read my other Stargirl reviews here (on season 2), you should get that I was quite disappointed how little Stargirl and Wildcat actually were in the episodes of this season, even the episodes were entertaining and interesting.

Well, for episodes 8-12 they weren’t in it all, and only one episode of the season had a lot of screentime with them.

Now, in the season finale, I got “compensated” quite a lot as there is quite a LOT of screentime with these two…. and also quite a LOT of good scenes as well 🙂

Finally, there is an episode with a lot of action again and I really enjoyed the whole showdown with Eclipso!

SPOILERS ahead! I recommend strongly watching the episode before you continue!

SPOILERS ahead! I recommend strongly watching the episode before you continue!

SPOILERS ahead! I recommend strongly watching the episode before you continue!

My favorite part was the Wildcat VS Wildcat fight, even I did curse at my TV after it was over for some special reason 😆

I just love this matchup as Eclipso let Wildcat imagine the original (male) Wildcat would fight her. And the original kicked her ass quite well for most of the fight as this was her nightmarish vision.

BUT…….it was SUCH a wasted opportunity to UNMASK Wildcat! Why? Well, they fight about who would be the better Wildcat. He even says something like “You don’t deserve to be Wildcat!” to her. So…..what would be better than to unmask her and thereby show her how much better he is (in this vision) and also to strip her of her powers at the same time? She would have been beaten if he had unmasked her. As she got the costume in season 1, it was totally not fitting to her, but as she completed the outfit by putting the mask on, the costume adjusted to her body and she got her Wildcat powers.

So, my guess would be that she only has her powers as long she is wearing the mask. It would have been really great if he had reached for her mask and yanked at it while she is desperately trying to keep the mask on. Well…..no luck 🙁

But nevertheless, I loved all the scenes with Stargirl and Wildcat fighting Eclipso and his visions! So great to see them in action, especially after their long absence.

Some pictures:

–

There were quite a lot of peril scenes with Stargirl as well, in the whole showdown with Eclipso she was beaten, choked, and tossed around. I think it looked a little cheap the way she looked as she was possessed by Eclipso, but ok, no big thing.

It was great seeing all these characters coming together to defeat Eclipso. I was surprised that The Shade was still alive and that even all the three “evil” Crooks showed up.

Season 3 will be aired next year and I’m very curious to see which characters will still be around then and what roles they will play. Looks like Cindy really will be one of the good guys then, hopefully, then she will get a mask to her costume as all the other women are wearing one to protect their “secret” identities.

Seems like the Shade will be still around then, I guess Grundy might show up again, even he is “indisposed” for now.

Will Jade be still there? So far, her role was quite small.

And what about Starman and Rick? Will they play a role without powers?

And what about the bad guys? In the end scene, Mister Bones was shown for the first time.

But there are also the three Crooks, who now live next door to the Whitmores 😆 and Cameron might join the bad guys as well.

Well, looking forward to the new season….until then I might re-watch episodes 6 and 13 of this season once or twice 😉

————————————————–

And now some news on Batwoman!

The Flash will start his new season (8) on November 16 with the big “Armageddon” 5 episodes event as I mentioned in the past.

Now we have a poster for this:

Looking forward to this, especially…..you may guess….because of Batwoman and Mia/(the new) Green Arrow.

I will post about these Flash episodes here!

Masked villainess Ultraviolet VS Sue Dearbon …and her awesome catsuit! [The Flash]

by

Here we have the masked villainess Ultraviolet in a fight VS Sue Dearbon in her awesome catsuit!

This season the Flash didn’t offer many highlights for me. A lot of episodes with uninteresting plots. Iris wasn’t seen in pantyhose and/or boots the whole season so far.

No masked villainesses or heroines.

In the episode before this one, this started to change a bit as Sue and her awesome catsuit were in a scene where she breaks into a well-secured building.

To my frustration, she broke in there without wearing a mask! Good plan! Walk into there and perhaps a security guard or a camera can see your face….. and you are screwed BIG time!

I yelled at my TV but that didn’t change anything 😆

Especially odd, since she was wearing a full face mask (impersonating another person) in an episode last season (link).

And otherwise, I would certainly have posted about it here with a video.

Luckily, one episode later we get Sue and her awesome catsuit AND the masked villainess Ultraviolet who shows up here and there throughout the show.

Yeah, Allegra is also in the scene but without adding much fun to it….even the fight scenes are decent.

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

I added two short scenes to the one longer scene in the coffee shop to give Sue …and her awesome catsuit 😉 …a little more screentime!

They have a couple of more scenes in the episode as well! But I choose these scenes as my highlights.

If Sue would combine a cowl on that catsuit….that would be FANTASTIC! Perhaps made of the same material as her suit…or latex…or rubber.

What we have here is already pretty great …in my opinion. Of course, a nice unmasking would add a lot to it, but unfortunately, they both already know who is hiding underneath that mask.

But finally, this was a Flash episode that really was interesting again! At least Sue seems to stay on the show as she mentions that she will stay in Central City for a while. And perhaps she might have another scene with a mask as well.

So…hopefully this won’t be the last time I post about season 7 of the Flash!

Batwoman news: New weekday for season 3 episodes + The Flash “mini crossovers”

by

Yesterday the CW announced their fall schedule for the 2021/2022 season.

Batwoman is still paired with Legends of Tomorrow but moves now from Sundays to Wednesdays (9 PM).

From what I read the CW had always trouble getting good numbers on the weekend, so this may be good news for the show.

Until now the CW didn’t even have original programs on Saturday, that will change now. But all of the Arrowverse and other “big” shows will run during the week now.

Here is the complete fall schedule:

https://deadline.com/2021-22-cw-schedule/

–

Stargirl will start beforehand in August.

Supergirl will continue with the 2nd half of their last season then as well.

Don’t know when the 2nd season of “Superman & Lois” will start.

–

Also, the first 5 episodes of season 8 of “The Flash” will include heroes from the other Arrowverse/CWverse!

Of course, I hope that Batwoman and maybe other characters from the show will make it to Central City to appear on the Flash in these “mini crossovers”.

Even it is no “full” crossover I am very much looking forward to these episodes. Due to the pandemic, we got no crossover during this season, so it’s certainly good news 🙂

More info can be found here:

–

P.S.:

Today I will watch the very last episode of Black Lightning.

Season 4 is certainly not my favorite one but I will miss the show. After Arrow, it is the 2nd show of the Arrowverse that ended, and Supergirl will air their last episode later this year as well.

Batwoman: Season 2 start date is out! …… + *EDIT* Javicia in costume on set

by

Today the CW released the starting date for season 2!

That’s 80 days to go!

–

And it’s actually the first Arrowverse/CWverse show that’s coming back!

Black Lightning will return on February 8.

Superman & Lois will premier on February 23 right after the Flash.

 

*EDIT*

Here a newly released graphic with all the start dates:

(the Batwoman picture is NEW!)

–

Glad that Batwoman is the first show (of the Arrowverse/CWverse) that will be shown next year! I do like Black Lightning and the Flash as well, but I can definately wait some weeks longer for them.

Don’t know what to think about the Superman & Lois show yet. I will give it a try, but so far I’m not thrilled to see it.

–

January 17….you can’t come soon enough! 😉

–

 

*EDIT2*

A short but great video from set shows Javicia in the new costume:

Wow, a really good, pure view on the costume! Even the cowl is missing…

She looks GREAT in the costume! 🙂

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

by

[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:
https://schedule.dcfandome.com/

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?

Burglar in a sexy catsuit VS masked villainesses! [The Flash]

by

Before I post about the upcoming Batwoman episode (“Drink Me!”) I wanna present a video from another Arrowverse show.

Today it’s about the Flash!

Well, actually he doesn’t appear in this video himself, but we have two woman in a catfight….and more!

–

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Well, that episode/scene really delivered!!!

– First Sue is impersonating a security guard, then unmasks herself. If you look close, she just has a pretty shapeless rubber/silicone piece that is attached to her wig. Would have been great if they could have used a real mask.

– Then she looses her uniform and presents her ….pretty awesome….catsuit!

– Ultravilot, a masked villainess shows up

– And finally a catfight between them!

And I hope we will see more of Sue in that catsuit in the next episodes! Perhaps even with a mask then? Would surely be great.

In my version these two then would have a revenge fight which would turn into an unmasking battle 😉

–

Here is the IMDB link to the episode:

Batwoman got RENEWED for season 2!!!!!!!!!

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.

The Flash VS a villainess with a red half mask

by

Not only on the Batwoman show we have a masked woman, the other Arrowverse shows deliver too!

In the latest episode of the Flash, we have a villainess with superpowers and a stylish red half mask that covers her identity pretty well 🙂

Preview:

(click to enlarge)

–

And here is the video:

–

Yes, I know your first question!

Who is she and what happens to her?

Well, unfortunately we don’t see her getting unmasked or even without that mask afterwards (that would be in the video for sure!).

Her character is only appearing before that scene and without a costume.

But even without the unmasking…I really enjoy watching a woman in such a costume and mask beating up those guys and then battling the Flash.

Batwoman news, October 6th […the last hours until the pilot is released!]

by

The DAY has come!

 

…but for starters…a new video about Alice:

Well, looks like she lands a good hit on Batwoman 😉

I have the strong feeling that Alice will be a great villainess!

–

And check out the upcoming issue of the SFX magazine (UK):

(click to enlarge)

I will get it as soon it is available 😉

–

–

The day has come….. October 6th. The day I was waiting for since December last year.

Since I saw the Elseworlds crossover. I can only vaguely express how much anticipation I have build up until today.

But finally we are only hours away from the first episode of BATWOMAN.

I envy all who can watch the episode today on the CW, due to fact that I don’t live in the USA, I can’t do that.

But ok, I waited nearly 300 days…another 18 hours won’t be a big problem 😉

–

Let’s take a look at the other “hero” shows on the CW:

Arrow has 8 seasons (the final season will start on October 15)

The Flash will launch season 6 (October 8)

Supergirl will launch season 5 (today, right after Batwoman)

Legends of Tomorrow will launch season 4 (in January)

And Black Lightning will launch season 3 (October 7)

 

And Batwoman? I really HOPE that this show will be a success!

That it will be successful enough …to get several seasons like the other shows.

So far the CW didn’t cancel a single show from the Arrowverse as Arrow will “just” be ending because Stephen Amell would like to play other parts.

So far the only TV shows with a masked heroine in the leading role (Black Scorpion and Queen of Swords) had only 1 season.

BATWOMAN has to top that!

I know it’s getting tougher to get solid ratings as more and more shows fight for viewers. And streaming has changed the whole business.

BUT if BATWOMAN gets at least 3 or 4 seasons… I would be VERY happy. 🙂

If you live in the US…you know what you have to do! Tune in and watch BATWOMAN!

(and if you don’t…. find a way to watch it!)
