For someone who mostly does wlw I don’t see much of batwoman on here, what do you think about the new batwoman?

Hahah, wow, anon. Mostly something is not most of something. 😛 There’s a lot out there I haven’t gotten into (yet). 

For the new BW, I have some conflicting if not particularly organized thoughts:

  • I’m much more likely to watch it now, I could not get into RR as the lead
  • I liked Javicia Leslie in God Friended Me and kind of delight in the providence that let her go from a side character on a cancelled show called that to a lead role
  • I’m wary of the CW’s ability to look out for Javicia, given their total incompetence in shielding their Black actors from racist fandoms
  • I didn’t like Ryan’s character description when it was first announced weeks ago and hope they sand off some of those edges
  • I didn’t watch the first season but picked up a few things and am curious how they’ll introduce this whole new character and ground her and what they’ll do with the other existing characters, all of them connected so strongly to Kate Kane. Especially Sophie, who’s suffered so much, in the show and outside, people being so harsh to her for so long, having earned the right to be a happy, central, liked character
  • (Kind of wish they’d made Sophie BW)

Mostly just curious to see how they’ll handle it all, I guess. I understood other people’s protectiveness over the character Kate Kane but I don’t have any investment like that so just observing from way outside it all.
