Boggles the mind that this flop got renewed in the first place.

reply

"Our lead actor quit."
"Don't worry about it."
"We don't have a main char-"
"I SAID DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT!"

The message is more important than ratings.

reply

The woke message will be spoken, profit be damned!

The guys who make the decisions are the executives. They're gonna get their big payroll no matter what. The ones that will lose money will be the shareholders, so why care?

reply

It checks two boxes. Mission accomplished.

This show will hilariously have EVERY opportunity to gain even a fraction of an audience for as long as it takes, and if you have to ask why...you have no idea what’s going on in society. Haha.

And to the six people who actually watch this garbage...more power to you I guess? 🤷🏻‍♂️

I’ve never seen an episode...I’m just happy it’s still around because the jokes made about it are some of the funniest things I’ve heard in a long time.

reply

I saw two episodes including the pilot. I gave up on it.

reply

you called it renewed for season three

Don't blame Javicia Leslie for Batwoman's disappointing viewership

https://www.themarysue.com/javicia-leslie-batwoman-ratings-stop/

On Monday, The Wrap was criticized by some for comparing Leslie's debut with Ruby Rose's debut, with a since-deleted tweet saying that Leslie's debut "can't hold a candle to Ruby Rose's" and pointing out that Batwoman ratings plunged 80%. As Princess Weekes notes, "Batwoman’s first season had the new shiny allure of being a new show, but it was never a critical darling, getting slapped in the first season for bad acting and other things. So, to have the show go through the effort to actually hire an actress with range, and then putting all the pressure on that actress is a bit slimy, because Javicia Leslie is the one coming aboard a rocky ship."

reply

Well, she can be blamed for accepting the role knowing what kind of show it is ...

reply

Obviously it is because people are racist....

reply

Obviously. And they were racist to RR as well ... erm, wait, what?

reply

They keep trying to make a Batman show without Batman. Stop it. Just made a damn Batman show.

reply

Just made a damn Batman show.

But not on the CW.

reply

I second this.

They will end up making Batman or Robin gay (if not both).

reply

Good, this garbage show deserves these kind of ratings.

reply

When your show has only one objective, to check boxes, this is what happens.
