> [@Terminus\_Est](#): > > I trust we’ve all seen the [Elseworlds crossover](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=864034) by now. I thought Ruby Rose did a good job as Batwoman; her Kate Kane could use some work. I think Rose is not a good actor at all and I didn’t like her as Kate Kane or Batwoman. I did like seeing Tulloch as Lois, though. I was a fan of _Grimm_ and liked her in that. ---

[Batwoman is officially ordered to series.](https://tvline.com/2019/05/07/batwoman-series-order-the-cw/) Ruby Rose is still playing the lead. With _Arrow_ ending and getting only a truncated final season, I see this series easily going into that time slot. Here’s the official teaser: [- YouTube](https://youtu.be/CzNYUWX2eYY) ---

Oh yes, nothing says ready for action than a cape the size of Kate Middleton’s bridal train. I may give the show a look but I’m not expecting much. ---

I didn’t really like the taste of this we got in the Elseworlds crossover. Not sure if I am going to watch this one (except for the crossover episodes). ---

The CW has released its Fall 2019 schedule which, rather unexpectedly (for me, at least), includes _Batwoman_. > **[CW 2019-2020 Primetime Schedule: ‘Batwoman’ Teams With ‘Supergirl’ on Sunday](https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/cw-2019-2020-schedule-batwoman-sunday-1203216862/)** > > The CW is sending its buzzed-about “Batwoman” to Sunday in the fall to pair with “Supergirl,” while the new spin on “Nancy Drew” slides behind the buzzy “R… The show will be on Sunday at 8pm, before _Supergirl_, which moves to 9 pm. _Arrow_ moves to Tuesday at 9 pm, after _The Flash_. _Legends of Tomorrow_ is not in the lineup. I think this means Batwoman will be included in the crossover, _Crisis on Infinite Earths_. The Legends may or may not be, though it would be strange if they weren’t involved when the multiverse is being destroyed. ---

[![]( " - YouTube") ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrIiPcv4_iY) Yeah, there’s some pretty heavy-handed dialog right there. I wonder if they’re going to move all the feminism messages to this show, now that _Supergirl_ has moved on to other political commentary. ---

Usually a trailer like this is only showing clips from the first episode, so it’s possibly not going to be so overt throughout the whole series. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/cw-announces-batwoman-series-in-development/818193.md?page=2)
