Ruby Rose leaving the series which I think it is hilarious. Why on earth would you renew the series for a second season when you haven't got your lead actor secured in contract? We'll see if they go with a non-PC choice this time.

Re: Batwoman
 

Not sure where they've said they didn't. AFAIK even for new shows, the actors are signed to multi-year deal out of gate.

From that article:

Re: Batwoman
 

That's a shame and very surprising to me. I mostly enjoyed the show and it's going to be really strange started the second season with a different actress playing the role of Kate Kane. I wonder why they didn't have a mutli series contract for her?

Re: Batwoman
 

One article I read mentioned that Ruby injured herself last year on another project. She may be leaving for health reasons.

Re: Batwoman
 

True, but does anyone still care ? Its been bleeding viewers.
Its ratings have fallen pretty much every week, almost to 1/3 of when it started.

They wont, and thats one of its problems.
Like most people I soon got bored of the same thing, PC Plugs & BW v Alice.

It seemed more interested in promoting "I'm a lesbain" every week, rather than any good storylines.
I'm sure a minority love that, but you need to please the majority to get & keep major viewing figures

Re: Batwoman
 

Its still high for them.

Re: Batwoman
 

Average is misleading.
It only has a high average because if its early figures, and its crisis episode.
Its fell away since then, and hasnt had anything like 995,000 viewers (or 0.26) for any episodes in 2020.

(Which is more than half its season, even after that season got cut short).

It's not clear whether they have got new show runners or not. When your ratings tank you can't keep going on as you have been and preaching every week, we get enough of that in Supergirl. It is a superhero series attributed to one of the most biggest and bad ass superheroes of all time so first and foremost you need to ensure you have got a quality series and then you can incorporate other messages once you have got that solid foundation.

Re: Batwoman
 

They are not looking to recast the role of Kate Kane which is interesting. I hope they come up with a realistic and plausible role for her departure in the series if they intend to introduce a completely new character to take the reins

Re: Batwoman
 

Except of course she just happens to be lesbian as well.
What are the odds eh ? I'm pretty sure its all the show cares about.
It got boring and preachy in series 1, and sounds like more of the same.

I pretty much gave up on season 1, only watched the last few because there was not much else left to watch.
I'll view the first episode (or two ?) of season 2, just to see how they explain it, after that, I will likely be giving up.

Re: Batwoman
 

I have an idea I'll be doing the same as you.

Re: Batwoman
 

I haven't watched any yet and I doubt I will. I am getting fed up of DC doing quantity over quality when it comes to the series. I am giving Stargirl one more ep and then I am going to knock it on the head, Pat and the son do my head in.

Re: Batwoman
 

This may/may not help you but I find Stargirl preferable to Batwoman. So far I'm willing to give it a couple more episodes to see how it develops. If after 4 it hasn't grabbed me then I'll ditch it.

I had high hopes for Ruby Rose after her performance in Dark Matter but it wasn't to be with Batwoman.

Re: Batwoman
 

I didn't know she had been in Dark Matter. Good to know, ta.
