Honestly donât see a difference except the hair and a more accurately shaped cowl. But I really like it! The suit looks so much better to me without that damn red wig. The red hair has always been too much for me and could do without the red tips here but all in all the colors seem far more balanced now and doesnât physically hurt my eyes anymore.
On another note, I didnât watch season 1 as I am not a fan of Kate and the idea of her and Bruce being related. It takes away from the idea his parents being murdered and Alfred having to raise him because he had no one else. So Iâm really excited for this new character and canât wait to check out the show and see how she will connect to Kateâs foes I know of from the comics.

Twitter is Toxic, I canât stand it. You know this was the same kinda hate Miles Morales got when he became Spiderman. Now he is loved, People are some fickle fools at times.

love the suit, will be interesting how theyâll create this Batwoman since sheâs a completely new character to take on the role now.

To be clear (and thanks for the subtle reminder), I like the look and look forward to seeing how they replace the showâs socially-central lead character, but just have the couple of quibbles with the design. I probably shouldâve led with that and instead just took âitâs goodâ for grantedâŚ

It would be a cool look, but actors express emotion through their eyes, so I doubt we will ever see it.

Maybe they could continue doing it like in episode 5 when Kate used the night vision feature on the cowl?

That is a cool look, really makes the mask pop. I wonder if that was a practical or digital effect.

Costume looks good just like the last one, not an improvement but itâs nice it is somewhat different. Although they say clothes make the man or woman, Iâm waiting to see what she brings to the character and am optimistic that it will also be different but in a good way, like the costume.

Itâs only when you disrespect the legacy characters to further the new characters, regardless of gender. Didnât Batwoman kill Keven Conroy in the cw crossover? Why do that? Why pit half your fanbase against the other half?
Is it a twitter strategy? Is it a cynical marketing technique? Irritate the sensitivities of volatile people to gin up traffic and clicks? Get insecure men and insecure women to start taking out their childhood traumas on each other for your own monetary gain?
If so thatâs pretty evil.
I mean, itâs a nice suit. I like they added the hair, but⌠i dunno.

I think the suit looks good. Iâm still a little hesitant about a completely new character as the lead, given that we no longer have the connections established in season 1 with Kate and Alice as siblings, and the dynamic between the characters. Part of me feels like itâs going to be a totally new show, but Iâll wait and see. It could be fantastic and hereâs hoping it is.

The hair has got to go. I havenât seen hair like that since the 60âs teased look. Dye that baby red and add conditioner to make it look somewhat like the real batwoman
Costume is good though

Not a CW person but the suit looks good and while I think Javicia is straight up gorgeous and would total rock that hair on her own, itâs not working with the suit I feel. If itâs the characters actual hair, she needs to do a better job at concealing her identity. If itâs a wig like it was for Kate, which I think started after or around final crisis 2008-9 timeframe itâs really pointless. I get her whole thing was that it was so enemies couldnât yank on it or it gives them a false target but thatâs stupid. I mean, it adds a nice flair to the costume but their combat skills should be good enough to handle a hair tug. Really why even give them the target? The horns on her cowl arenât detachable are they? If the secondary use of the wig is to help conceal her identity thatâs ridiculous as well. I remember the first time I saw it get ripped off, you could straight up see her short red hair! She didnât have some kind of cap on underneath and now Boom! your enemy has that to work on now to help figure you out. I mean, I get why they made it like that. Just like how the character was originally a Batman knockoff so was her costume. DC asked A. Ross to give them a new design for Batwoman during 52 and he said he just took his Batgirl costume and couldnât us the cap on the head, so he let all of her hair show to set her apart.

Not bad, just needs more armor, it always has

Decent, but I thought the one with Ruby Rose was totally cute, in the first season.

I was thinking the same thing. Loving the suit, and loving the hair. Itâs so great to see representation and celebration of black women and their natural hair. It is long overdue and has been stigmatized for way too long. However, if Batwoman has the same hairstyle as Ryan Wilder, it might not be the best idea for keeping her secret identity. Have we seen an image of how Ryan Wilder will wear her hair?

I like it quite a bit. I agree with everyone mentioning how awesome her hair looks with it!

I think she looks great! And I love the hair. As somebody who keeps her hair natural, I think itâd be a great disguise because people who donât have black hair tend to just focus on the hair. Thatâs not a bad thing, Iâve just noticed itâs a defining feature when people describe me and they tend to see my twin in anyone who also has natural hair (I know this may come across as them being racist, but it really is just focusing on one feature). So this will make it really easy for Ryan to put her hair in braids or even just a bun and people who donât know her wonât draw the connection. I hope thereâs a scene of her deciding what her superhero hair is. Maybe itâs a wig and her curl pattern is completely different.
Iâve tried watching Batwoman while stuck at home, but I wasnât a huge fan of Kate. Some of her mannerisms just rubbed me the wrong way and I had a hard time with the accent, that having been said, I never really tracked Batwoman in the comics so this doesnât hit me as hard as it does some people. Kate Kane is one of my friends favorite characters, so this really sucks for her. But the show was put between a rock and a hard place with this one since Ruby Rose is out and Crisis already consolidated the universe (mostly). But pressure can sometimes make the best content. I hope theyâre able to with this!
