Batwoman in the Media: Send the Bat Signal

[rogvortex58]

It is just such a relief to know that in the end they did not win. That Kate Kane’s legacy as Batwoman will no longer be disgraced by these disrespectful producers and their disgusting agenda to erase her.

As a fan who has loved her for years I just find this so validating.

At TVGuide.com: '4 Canceled Shows That We Hope Get Saved'

Quote

We're going to miss all of these shows, but four in particular deserve a second chance at another network or streamer before being sentenced to TV's graveyard.

Batwoman

Where to watch: The CW  | HBO Max 

Fans are particularly heartbroken about the cancellation of Batwoman, and for good reason. In many ways, it felt like The CW series was just beginning to come into its own. Batwoman broke down some barriers for superhero shows, spotlighting a queer Black woman as the eponymous protector of Gotham. Javicia Leslie was praised in the role, which she took over before Season 2 after the unexpected departure of Season 1 star Ruby Rose. Fans paid for billboards in New York calling for the show to be saved, but it's looking like they won't get closure on several storylines; the Season 3 finale (now the series finale) ended on a cliffhanger.

Nice post-Batwoman interview with Javicia Leslie here: https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a40044770/batwoman-javicia-leslie-season-4-wildmoore/

Quote

What would you say now to these fans who are campaigning for the show's return?

Just that I hear you and I see you. What the show means, and what the character means – it's being able to finally see yourself.

It's never been done. We have not had a female Black lead as a title for a superhero show. We just haven't had it yet. And to top it off, she's also gay, and I think that's just such a beautiful combination of diversity, in a way where you're able to really represent a vast community of people that have not been able to see themselves.

So my words to those fans are: I see you. You may not have felt seen before, but because of this role, and, honestly, just because of what I've experienced and my own understanding and my own experience – I see you.

Goodbye, batcave. Sorry the writers had to taint your legacy with their awful writing in seasons 2-3.

Quote

“We got the chance to give Ryan and Batwoman an appropriate goodbye,” Javicia Leslie, who plays both Red Death and Batwoman’s Ryan Wilder over the course of this arc, tells Den of Geek. “Because when we ended [the show], we didn’t know we weren’t coming back. We kind of left it on a cliffhanger, so Eric coming up with this idea—it opened the door to really being able to do that. And not just say goodbye, but to play a character like Red Death at the same time? It was so much fun. And I think we did it in a really epic way. We really did it in a creative way. I’m so appreciative of that.”

Quote

It was an honor. I got to be a part of the Batverse. I will always and forever be a part of that. It was an honor to be the beginning of that kind of representation. The kid in me is really hyped that I got to play in the Batcave, drive the Batmobile, put on the Batsuit, and throw a Batarang. This experience has been life changing. It makes me excited about my craft because it lets me know I can go from being a bartender on a show to being a superhero, and now, being a police detective.

 

[rogvortex58]

Happy for her to move on to something else. The sooner she does the sooner I never have to see the imposter she played ever again.
