I sort of think, if they're going to continue, they'd be better to do a soft-reboot than a recast and continue? Have Ruby's batwoman actually leave and a whole new character take the title (even if it involves something convoluted like writing in another Wayne cousin). Keep the supporting cast that works, and take it from there.

Recasting the same role with a new actor is (in my opinion) not likely to work well. It doesn't even work in soap operas. Actors bring part of their personality to the role and it fundamentally changes the character.

They even had to essentially write this into Doctor Who lore as part of the process... They established early that regeneration changes aspects of personality and not just physical appearance. Because casting a different actor to play the same character "with a new face" never quite hits home.

Babs Gordon Batgirl is an awesome character, they should make it about a (comics accurate) version of her.

With the setting being "post-batman", they could even make it that she's not a "n00b hero" but actually was Batgirl working alongside Bruce and Robin a few years earlier, and is now returning to Gotham, to take on the "Batwoman" title. They could do "Arrow-esque" flashbacks . Though I think there are possibly licensing issues with Batman... They seem to be able to use "out of mask" characters so they could show her interacting with Bruce and some Robins. Maybe even in-costume Robin?

Tbh I don't think it helps that "Batwoman" is actually a bit of a clunky title to begin with though .

[Oliver_W]

It looks like instead of recasting Ruby's role, a whole new person is filling the cape!

I don't know how deliberate this was, but

Ryan Wilder is a female in her mid-late 20s and the complete opposite of Kate Kane. "She's likable, messy, a little goofy, and untamed," reads the document.

To be fair, Babs hasn't really been a n00b in quite a while. Like I know comics have a bit of an "eternal status quo" where their dates of birth and stuff slide along like in the Simpsons, but since the New52 Babs has been making it on her own.

Gail Simone was the best at writing her, I really don't know why she's not hired by tv shows and movies for the DC stuff. Birds of Prey would have been brilliant if she'd written it, her run on those comics (which featured the then-disabled Babs!) was great.

And speaking of the Robins, she has an on-off thing with Dick Grayson, the first Robin and current Nightwing!

Spoiler:

Well, I should say recovering-to-be-current Nightwing, but ... details!

The Batwoman we all deserve.

I just want to know why she hasn’t been keeping Superman fight the dozens of “naughty Kryptonians” that have been invading Smallville and Meteopolis . He’s had to rely on Fake Iron Man!

Ah come on it even has the handy AI voice that tracks things and tells him when he's powered-up and stuff . He does have a rocket-powered hammer thing though, that's quite fun. Iron Man doesn't have one of those.

Okay tbh I've not seen the show yet but in the comics I really like Steel. Can't remember if I've said this but if the rumoured "Black Superman" movie is happening, it should be about him rather than a blackwashed Clark Kent.

Spoiler:

ok i personally love the most recent episode Blindspots, i think it'll face some criticism by those who do not like the BLM stuff, but i personally found it such a lovely episode, main focus onto Kelly Olsen, the new Guardian

and also guest starring David Ramsey as John Diggle, from Arrow who came to national city to assist Kelly in her fight for the Ormwell building/community


Senator Rankin having become a 5th dimensional being because of that blue stuff combined with a experimental drug and everytime when she does a wish she drains everyone else affected with blue stuff, like some sort of leech


Brainy designing the new guardian outfit, with 31st century tech i mean it looks stunning for sure


Lena on her way back to national city after a trip down memory lane in newfoundlane with her irish roots, where she found out she is a descendant of a witch

[Nicky91]

am enjoying this season so much


would love if even after this, we get more from Nia Nal/Dreamer i quite like her and i definitely am quite a fan of Nicole Maines her acting


also great scenes from Kate Burton as Nia's mom Isabel (definitely has the acting talent from her dad Richard Burton) small role but a very convincing and impactful one
