    This show could be really good, if it was better written. Thinking back how good the early days of the Arrowverse were (meaning Arrow S01 and also S02), it hurts to see that this is what we have now.

    So to cut this short, dear DC/CW, please for the love of batman, hire better writers!    … Expand

    Poorly acted and written. I have no recommendations for who the CW could have picked to act in this, but they should have gotten the writers from Netflix's Daredevil as this would have been right up their alley.

    This is very woke and not just politically correct but actually quite stupid way to portray batwoman. No batwoman is not stone-cold feminist who hates men and thinks Batman takes all the credit. Pathetic and cringy lines just push away normal people and juice-up triggered ones.

After seeing the trailer for Batwoman i really question why someone would hire her as an actor and after seeing the first episode the question still stands. The only reasons i can find is her looks, her (shallow) "strong" attitude and her sexuality. She's not the "typical" strong heterosexual feminine female. She definitely didn't get the job for being talented. Ruby Rose is the stereotype of a bad actress/actor. "Look angry!" [clenches teeth, lowers eyebrows and widen the nostrils. ] By the way, it's nothing strong and cool about looking like, walking like, having a posture like and making face expressions like Justin Bieber. Anyone who defends her acting chops are lying or/and delusional. On the other hand, this seems to be the agenda with a show like Batwoman. Nothing's meant to be good. It's just pushing the feminist LGBT agenda. No, i'm not one of the typical people screaming "Woke!" about everything, but sometimes the "woke" and delusional consumes a production, like Batwoman, and it becomes terrible. In this case it's just too obvious. And that's why this show never will see a second season. They put the agenda above quality. It might see a second season if they scream "Haters!" and "Anti-feminist!" loud enough. Because in this day and age, some people rather push blame when they fail, rather than realizing they might be doing something wrong themselves. Like this show.… Expand

    I hate giving zeros. But the CW continues its streak of sub par, woke garbage. Batwoman isn't special, it's a cause. If this was on any other network. It would be cancelled immediately.

    This show was filled with terrible acting and worse writing. There was no saving grace to this show. I knew it would be terrible when they introduced her in the crossover episode last season.

    There is no redeeming quality here, don't waste your time.

    Don't waste your time watching this. Critics were afraid to review it properly cause of the WOKE movement. Its really really bad acting and writing. Expect this to be cancelled very soon.

    Batwoman is truly awful. It is by far the CW's worst superhero show. Practically every element of the how, from the acting to the set deign to the dialogue, it truly some of the worst I've ever seen. Worst superhero show since Inumans.

Critics are nothing but bloggers that have no real education nor experience to critique the art, production value or cinematic quality of a release. Whatever score that is derived is meaningless to the demographic that the creation is trying to target. The Audience is the true critic, and what the response here tells me is that the viewer is tired of characters being used to carry out a sexual role agenda. The Audience does not care about the sexual preference of a Superhero and is focused on the comic book style action and storylines that are synonymous with being a Superhero character. As long as garbage like this BATWOMAN continued to get released, the Audience will continue to voice extreme displeasure and realize that the Critics are also part of the problem. Do not waste your valuable time with this BATWOMAN tripe, nor with the spew these Critics spread.… Expand

    Holy moly this wasn't worse than the trailer... but it was close.
    Please someone drop some money for acting lessons, this level of "quality" can't be intentional. Maybe its the writing, I mean these actors can't all be that bad.

    But hey it's woke, that's enough to get the zealots to watch these days. So enjoy, I guess.

    Everyone involved, of course, might fare better if they had a decent script, proper lighting, well-choreographed fight scenes and sets that didn’t look as if they had been nailed together from whatever was left after Michael Keaton left the building in 1989. ... For now, though, pure and perfect trash is what we need – and Batwoman provides.

    The show doesn’t seem to know how to handle Bruce’s absence, so he’s mentioned at every turn, making Kate feel less like a person with her own story than someone grafted onto his. ... The visual palette is all muddled grays or treacly, warmly lit flashbacks. The fight scenes lack tension and dynamism, relying on quick cuts and multiple angles to manufacture a false sense of energy. There’s also a missing spark of chemistry among the cast.

    Batwoman has a welcome amount of openness and information sharing from the get-go. The series also does surprisingly well with establishing several key supporting characters. ... Around Kate Kane and Rose, there's a question mark. The camera is intrigued, gravitating toward her angular features, spiky hair and convincing swagger. I'm not sure she's as good at conveying the required authority or enigmatic mystery.
