5/10
Alice

Warning: Spoilers
DC comics differs from Marvel in one major aspect/ Marvel makes colorful heroes and dull villains while DC makes dull heroes and colorful villains. Alice (Rachel Skarsten) was the main reason to watch an otherwise drama-filled series filled with lesbian angst. We must see the break up of Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) and Sophie (Meagan Tandy) a half dozen times. The whole series is a major soap opera depressing downer. Except for Alice, the dialogue is jejune. Alice has been kept in captivity during her youth yet knows all the pop culture references as if she led a normal life. The show also includes quotes from "Alice in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass." It takes a swipe at the Batman TV show by claiming shark repellant is something silly to have on a utility belt. Ruby Rose was a dull Batwoman and was replaced by Javicia Leslie, who also happens to be a lesbian. And later Posison Ivey comes back. Also lesbian. Alfred's daughter (who knew) makes a major appearance as Julia Pennyworth (Christina Wolfe) who is also a lesbian. She would have been my first choice for Batwoman. Alice wants to know why her dad stopped looking for her which was odd since she already knew what her step-mother had done. The plot wasn't tight as it seems the whole reason of the show was to make us feel sad. They killed off the same Batwoman twice in season 2.
