Featured review
"I've always wanted to ride in the Batmobile."
Glen Winter makes his debut within Batwoman!
This episode felt distinct right from the start. Certainly the best episode from Season 2, even a contender for the best episode from both the seasons. Cinematography had improvement, with that the ambience was significant. Remarkable editing as well. Camera movement overall was great but the main recognition had to be the perspectives and the great angles that occurred simultaneously within the editing. The lightning and hair-makeup accomplishment was wonderful.
Wallis Day's acting was noteworthy and can't wait to see more of her. Javicia has definitely grow as Ryan and is now one of my favorites in this show.
However it has nevertheless some setbacks, such as occasionally the acting wasn't there for me and had greatly amount of dialogues. Would have loved to see Glen Winter tackle more of visual storytelling. Although i know it's Gotham and suppose would look gloomy, i would have liked to see some more colors. At least more silhouettes. It has huge potential to play around with shadow and structures. Such as in the room where Peter Outerbridge, Laura Mennell and Wallis Day were in. Magnificent color palette there and had substantial illumination from the lamps/fires that assemble staggering shadows that makes an prodigious atmosphere.
Yet i love any single interactivity between every character especially in this episode but moreover the series in general. They are done both compelling, and balanced so well and still is located behind the lines. They never feel too much but still unleash a great amount of presence that keeps you enticing. Each character has different amount of knowledge and perspective on things. Good amounts of that substance are comparable and analogous towards us, the viewer.
Batwoman is a show that has always dealt with style over substance and "Initiate Self-Destruct" is a prime example of that. Episode 12 of season 2, "Initiate Self-Destruct" gets a 9,8 out of a 10.
