There was bound to be an (even more) exposition-heavy narrative presented before we got to the climactic showdown on Coryana, and Batwoman Season 2 Episode 7 does not disappoint.
The twist to the big backstory reveal is that Ocean really. Does. Not. Care. Giggle-snort.
Meanwhile, Jacob and Sophie are still kicking around for ... reasons (?). I'm assuming contractual obligations?
And the kryptonite infection is seriously complicating things for Team Batwoman 2.0 in that, half the time, Luke and Mary have no idea where Ryan is, and they're rescuing her the other half.
The whole secret identity thing is also pretty problematic as Ryan has to confront Alice without the cowl, thinking that Gotham's biggest bad-ass would remember one victim out of the Wonderland Gang's myriad of casualties if she just saw her face.
The fact that Alice takes that as another feather in her cap is rightfully maddening.
I get it. Mommy died,...

Batwoman gets bogged down in a bad trope and overly dark visuals during its trip through Alice's past

Batwoman Episode 5
The Batwoman writers seem to understand that lowly criminals of the week just aren’t where the heat of this show lies, and wisely took all a matter of seconds to make it clear that “The Skin Pirate” (ew) is Beth/Alice. It seems rather obvious that she wants the skin for grafts, and a bit odd not to have mega-genius med student Mary fail to point that out. Nonetheless, this weird setup is our way in to finally learning what happened to Alice.
Of course, by “what happened to Alice” I mean just the first sliver of her story – I have a feeling the writers will be meting this out for seasons to come. Without the Religion of Crime from the comics,...

Time for some sisterly bonding on Batwoman. Sort of. E! News has an exclusive first look at Sunday's episode of the newest addition the CW's superheroes, and it serves as a bit of an origin story for the show's current slightly psychotic baddie. How exactly did Kate's sister Beth become the Alice we all now know and kinda love (in spite of everything)? This week, we'll find out, and you can watch Alice begin her story in the clip above. "I suppose it started 14 months before Catherine Hamilton faked my death," Alice begins, much to Kate's surprise over the involvement of her sketchy stepmom. Alice continues to reveal that the bones found at the crash site...

It's all about facing the truth on Batwoman Season 1 Episode 4 and the uncomfortable truth for viewers is that this is a show determined not to conform to expectations.
We have a hero who doesn't know how to hero, a techie just figuring out the tech, and a security firm who couldn't secure ducks in a barrel.

Honestly, at first, I was frustrated.
There is so much potential in this female-led, out-and-proud, visually engaging comic book adaptation but it kept Just missing the mark for me somehow.
I was looking for my CW Superhero signposts.
Where's the slick central protagonist vigilante with an arsenal of honed skills, able to take down enemies with flawless execution?
Where's the genius, all-seeing, infallible central co-ordinator who calls the plays and knows every nuance of the system?...

Villain Tommy Elliot comes to Gotham while Mary shines and Kate meets someone new in another solid episode of Batwoman

This Batwoman review contains spoilers.
Batwoman Episode 3
An extraordinarily short visit from Tommy Elliot reminds Gotham that Alice isn’t the only villain while Kate Kane contends with the reality that she has unleashed an entire city’s worth of hope, and she’s not so sure she can live up to it. Meanwhile, Sophie works Mary for intel on her ex in a winning b-plot and Alice terrorizes the Hamilton-Kane residence.
First: Hush. I could’ve done without the wall references and “Make Gotham Safe Again” rhetoric surrounding Tommy Elliot, but other than those lines, he largely felt like his own villain rather than a Trump sendup. Arguably this episode had just as much "other business" to take care of as the previous one, leaving Tommy...

Batwoman eschews a villain-of-the-week format to take a much-needed closer look at Alice and the aftermath of Beth's disappearance

This Batwoman review contains spoilers.
Batwoman Episode 2
Unlike most superhero shows, Batwoman did not slide into a villain-of-the-week format with its second episode. Instead this episode deepened into the central mythology of Kate’s origin story, Beth’s disappearance. I'm sure Batwoman will get to other villains eventually, but for now it feels like there's plenty of material to unpack as it is, and a lower headcount of rogues helps make the show feel more grounded and less crowded.
Superhero shows thrive on deception, often to their own detriment, as evidenced by the way Supergirl hamstrung the best friendship that makes up one of the core relationships at the heart of the show by maintaining the secret of Supergirl’s identity far longer than necessary. While it seems...

The mysterious Batwoman villain Alice is more than meets the eye. We have all the spoiler-y scoop from CW's show and her comics origin
This article contains spoilers for Batwoman episode 1. We have a spoiler free review here.
On the CW’s Batwoman, Alice is a mysterious leader of the Wonderland Gang, a terrorist group kitted out with eerie rabbit masks responsible for kidnapping Agent Sophie Moore, killing a bunch of nameless Crows, and threatening an entire park full of helpless Gothamites. By all indications, she seems like the villain of season 1. It’s not uncommon for an early villain to be eclipsed by a bigger bad later on, but the 11th hour reveal in the first episode packs a serious punch: Alice is actually Beth, Kate Kane’s long-presumed-dead twin sister.
Who is Alice?
TV’s Alice, played by Rachel Skarsten, commands the Wonderland Gang,...
