The trailers were dumb so no surprise.

Doesn’t look like Batwoman…

ANYONE would be better than Ruby Rose. I never liked her and her show is dark , slow and plodding and very hard to watch. I didn't like the "Arrow" for the same reason in season 1 and didn't watch it anymore after that season. I didn't like her on "Orange is the New Black" either. From what I read she has a long history of being depressed and tried to off herself on many occasions and was very hard to work with. Plus she didn't like to work the long hours or live in Vancouver Canada. Seems that it was a mutual decision by both the producers and her for her exit.

They should go with Barbara Gordon.

They should go with Barbara Gordon.

That's what I was thinking when I read it yesterday. Reboot the entire thing and bring in Batgirl and Barbara Gordon.

Agreed, rename it Batgirl as well, especially as she’s been a long time popular character.

From what I read it sounds to me like she's going to be like Stargirl. If that's the case I won't be watching because I saw the first episode of that show and I am not watching it again.

I don't know what I was expecting. But I at least thought because it was made for DC Universe, it would be . . . I don't know . . . but not this. I usually give CW superhero shows four episodes to decide. If these were normal times, and other shows were coming back this summer, it would be a much easier decision to just drop it.

If they ever casted Barbara Gordon, it would no doubt be her in a wheelchair leading "Birds of Prey"

Javivia Leslie (God Friended Me) is the new Batwoman. I only watched the first few episodes of season 1 before losing interest in Batwoman. But I'll probably check out the new season. I really liked Leslie's character on God Friended Me and thought she was under-used.

Leslie will step into the cape and cowl for the show's upcoming second season on The CW.
