Batwoman on The CW -

[FrickinFrackinFruckin]

Warning, this trailer is major cringe!

 

[Stab You in the Back]

I like how they wanted to do the "HERO" thing but didn't want to be accused of ripping off Captain Marvel, so they did it with the word "HERE" instead. Its just that *kisses fingers* level of shameless incompetence I expect from Greg Berlanti.

 

[Muttnik]

I love how the shitty song in the background literally bleats I'M A WOMAAAAN for maximum cringe. This is pure comedy gold.

 

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

Spoiler: That's some serious cunty dike face right there...

 

[IV 445]

I hope they know a lot of the audience will be men hoping to see girl on girl action.

Edit: wait is it catwoman that is the lesbian? I’m mixed up here

 

[WhoBusTank69]

You know, if they wanted a GRRL POWER heroine they could have gone with Misandrist I mean, Huntress. She's not even named after a male hero like Batwoman is. They would even have an opening for the Birds of Prey later on.

 

[Exorbital Columnations]

And this is bad compared to the other options on the t.v. box? I don't watch the shit anymore but that seems pretty par for the course. Possibly hate watchable, even.

I was an early fan of the CW DC shit, I frankly loved the shit out of first 3ish seasons of Arrow.. And the first 2 or so seasons of Flash were... ok.. (despite grossly miscasting... pretty much everyone, including the titular character...) And "Legends of Tomorrow" was utter shit from the beginning... I even tried to watch through their first season and it only got worse... But yeah, the DC/CW universe has pissed away any good will I ever had for them.

Hell, I literally just found out that "Black Lightning" (I.e. the joke character they made so the Super Friends had one brown person in it) has gotten 2 seasons of shows since I stopped giving a shit about this shared universe. I shudder to think how "#woke" a show about an already canon lesbian superhero is going to be, especially when this universe doesn't even have the man she was ripping off in the first place. (Even though this Ollie is basically Batman in everything but name)

Unrelated:

I don't even know who the chick hashtagging #Feminism in this scene is, but I think I made the right choice to stop watching this shit.

As if fandom in general wasn't being punished enough for Game of Thrones sucking or Disney moving on schedule to make another Star Wars trilogy but with Dumb & Dumber, now we have to get raked over by the combined news of this and Robert Pattinson being Batman.

 

[RumblyTumbly]

So Batman abandoned Gotham...that's nice.

You know, the DC CW shows started off pretty well. The early seasons of Arrow and The Flash are quite good, but man oh man did they fall off a cliff, and they seem to keep getting worse!

 

[StarkRavingMad]

This is so woke that it makes Captain Marvel look like it was directed by Rush Limbaugh.

 

[Francis York Morgan]

Don't know why anyone expected anything different considering it's starring Ruby Rose. Anything she does is destined to suck.

 

[SteelPlatedHeart]

Don't know why anyone expected anything different considering it's starring Ruby Rose. Anything she does is destined to suck.

I do remember woke Twitter pitching a huge fit about her being cast because “NOT A GOOD ENOUGH LESBIAN!” or something.

 

[MuuMuu Bunnylips]

...joke character... Super Friends

And let's not forget Aquaman: "The Troublealert says the League of Evil is causing chaos in the Sahara desert! Let's bring the guy who breathes underwater and can control fish!

 

[Ghost of Wesley Willis]

This whole thing is already guaranteed to be a mess, makes me glad I quit watching TV during my teenage years.

Don't know why anyone expected anything different considering it's starring Ruby Rose. Anything she does is destined to suck.

Don't tell that to the army of horny men that get off to her. Actually fuck that, please do. It's funny seeing them meltdown over nobody liking generic and boring dyke #2000.

What's always amusing to me is in the comics, only the really bad writers fall into the trap of making them "I'm just like person X, except a strong independent woman." For example, comic Batwoman usually dealt in weird supernatural stuff with pretty minimal interaction with any of Batman's rogues galley. Despite her name, she is her own independent character and not just Batman but a girl, which is exactly what it looks like they're doing in the trailer.

For a little more comic sperging, Black Vulcan was the dude from Superfriends. They had to make him because the creator of Black Lightning didn't want to sign over the rights or something. His show is kinda...meh, more or less what you'd expect from any CW show. If you like the genre and have nothing else to watch I don't think you'd regret watching it to kill time, but you probably wouldn't remember anything significant about it once you log out of Netflix. Early Arrow was the only super stuff that I'd say was above average, the rest is anywhere from at best okay to pretty awful, but potentially so bad it's good territory if you're hate watching it with some friends.

Spoiler: That's some serious cunty dike face right there...

"Can I speak to the manager?"

 

[Slartibartfast]

Spoiler: That's some serious cunty dike face right there...

To be fair, in the comics, her basic characterization has been cunty dyke for a while now.

 

[StarkRavingMad]

*Takes over Batman's Batcave, takes his Batsuit, uses all of his Batgadgets, and copies his gimmick*

"I'm not about to let a man take credit for a woman's work!"

 

[Spatula]

'I'm going to be the female Bruce Wayne'

What happened to female empowerment and strong independent womyn? Why would I be inspired by a woman who is larping as a man?
