SEASON FINALE - When one of Gotham’s former heroes returns to his old stomping grounds to settle a score, both Batwoman and Commander Kane find themselves on the defensive. Meanwhile, Alice has uncovered what could finally take down Batwoman, but she is losing hold on her henchman Mouse (guest star Sam Littlefield) and Hush (guest star Gabriel Mann), sending her spiraling into her most wicked self. Luke immediately focuses on finding a way to protect Batwoman from Alice, and Mary has a chance to be the sister Kate has needed all along. New information surfaces, forcing Julia (guest star Christina Wolfe) to warn Sophie about the person pulling the strings. And in a final standoff, when Commander Kane refuses to retreat from his war on Batwoman, Kate may find herself more than heartbroken by her father’s choices.
This episode was rather obviously not a season finale, with a villain-of-the-week that was rather easily dispensed with. But it served rather well as a cliffhanger, or rather, a set of cliffhangers for the next season, with Jacob declaring war on Batwoman, Alice also on the warpath for Batwoman to the extent that she would kill Mouse, everyone searching for kryptonite, and that reveal of not-Bruce Wayne at the end.
Luke better not learn about the D.E.O. and the crap-ton of kryptonite they had laying about.
In the DC universe, does (green) kryptonite have any properties beyond “deadly to Kryptonians”? Obviously the TV series can do whatever it wants, but I was surprised that it was nearly indestructible and also useful for piercing armor.
The latest news is that, rather than recasting Kate Kane with a new actress, they’ll have new character take up the mantle of Batwoman:
This is probably the stupidest decision they could have made. It erases Kate’s character development over the first season and nullifies all her relationships with existing characters. Her extremely complicated relationship with her sister Alice - gone. Her love for her father and his hate for Batwoman - gone. The awkward love triangle with Sophie and Julia - gone. Her being Bruce Wayne’s cousin - gone. The growing Bat-family with Luke and Mary - gone.
So are they just gonna have the bad guys succeed with their “Batbuster” round plan? Of course they find out that dropping Kate doesn’t solve their problems or make them feel any better and psychosis(or at least becoming even more psycho) ensues.
I stuck it out, but I’d already decided not to tune in next season. A total do-over could hardly be worse than this season, but this soft reboot they have planned doesn’t interest me.
Finally watched the last episode of last season. I want to see the scene they left out - where they convinced the football coach to act as bait to catch the killer who had previously defeated both the Crows and Batwoman.
