Batwoman 1.1 Pilot
- Kate was just a child when Bruce was already fully fledged Batman. That makes him about 10-15 years older.
- How did Kate not get hypothermia in that super cold place, possibly, Antarctica?
- Bruce having that simple of a password for Wayne security made me laugh.
- There are tons of flashbacks to fill us in on Kate's backstory.
- Alice is a very entertaining villain. I’m a little surprised they got to the Alice is Beth Kane reveal so quickly, that's something you'd figure they'd drag out for a full season.
- The love interest is married!
- I like Luke.
- Of course the Military rules and one of them being sexuality matters.
Not to make this political… But this is the very reason why I will always vote a certain way.
- I liked that Mary always seems to draw a laugh out of Kate in their interactions.
- The Dark Tone of the City is firmly established.
Overall it was a decent Pilot. I am intrigued enough to keep watching, especially since it's on the same night as Supergirl.
PS: Loved her Ramones T-shirt she wore throughout most of the episode. I have the same one.
ETA: I think that what held my attention the most was Ruby Rose’s performance. It hit all the right notes for me. I like her. I look forward to her adventures as Batwoman. I think the stories will be there as the season continues. The Pilot had a lot of backstory to cover. But it gave us time to adjust to a Gotham with no Batman. And for me, it worked. I thought Ruby’s performance was nuanced, showing a tough woman who has known love. Not all of the CW shows handle romantic relationships, or the lack of them, very well. This Pilot did a good job of showing Kate as a person who has been in love, but strong enough not to fall apart when a relationship takes a different turn. That’s refreshing. I’m looking forward to the rest of the season.
Oh and I already ship Kate/Sophie.
