    It remains unclear how the new protagonist will impact the show's overall momentum, as these opening chapters work to transition viewers to a new narrative schema. So far, Leslie's character provides some classic "fish out of water" levity to an otherwise self-serious superhero melodrama. That novice energy comes at some cost, however, to the series' established emotional dimensions.

    After a first season that never quite got off the ground creatively, "Batwoman" announced that original star Ruby Rose would be leaving but that the series would hang around without her. The contortions necessary to arrange that baton (or Batarang) pass mostly fizzle in the opening episodes, fueling a sense that this CW drama might be flying on fumes.

    The result is messy, as was maybe inevitable — but it’s also not particularly satisfying, which was much more avoidable.

    The problem is not the character. The problem is still that Batwoman as a character is effectively just Bruce Wayne gender bent into a lesbian. That is like calling Marie Curie an excellent scientist... for a woman.

    That aside, this is about Season 2. Look I bleed for DC (and DC has been particularly bad for demanding their pound of flesh as of late. The show should have been cancelled with Rose giving up because she did not want to be associated with such a bomb. Execs made the stupid decision of "we can fix this" and fix it they did alright. Wringing the character through such mental gymnastics that she is now not only super woke, but super cultural appropriation.

    Its hard to say where the primary problem is. The new actress who is as charming as watching a plank of wood for an hour, Or the writing that was clearly drafted by chimps strung out on a week long mescaline trip.

    The only positives are from the production end. You get scenes very much on par with CW level of DC shows like Legends or Arrow, but not quite up to what they put out last year with Star girl.

    All in all, the series was a flop. Losing its lead doomed the production, there was zero chance this was going to take off and this now looks like one of those productions that studio execs use to exploit cash off of before tanking the whole thing.

    So if that is the level of production they are going to put into it, there is no point to bother watching it. Its poorly conceived, poorly written, poorly acted, too busy craming social engineering down your throat to bother with being entertaining and is not going to survive another failed season with ratings that somehow are even too low for CWs standards.

    Una serie sin alma con un guión pobre que intenta plantear un interés que se desvanece en minutos con personajes sin carisma y poco entrañables
