I’m really enjoying how heavy they’re leaning into how Chicago Gotham is. Anything that tracks back to the Dark Knight is fantastic.

nooneofconsequence posted:I could be wrong but I think most of the Chicago filming was just for the crossover and the pilot so expect it to look less Chicago and more CW Vancoucer as the season goes on, outside of transitional master shots. That's what I was kind of afraid of, but it's not the end of the world. Supergirl kinda lost some of its personality when it went from LA to Vancouver, for everything it gained in making crossovers more accessible. But by and large this was fairly decent start and I can't wait to see how the how moves forward from here. I can't believe the fragile male minds of the internet lost their poo poo over what was ultimately one line of dialog in a 45 minute television episode, but eh, men gonna men. Hopefully they get more Not Mad as the show goes on.

TwoPair posted:I like to imagine that since her dad was just trying to keep her from joining the Crows and putting herself in danger he kept moving the goalposts. Like, "Okay dad, I learned how to escape from handcuffs" "umm... well you have to be able to do it underwater to join us. Under freezing water! You'll quit now, right? Please quit." Yeah, one of the things the pilot does is make sure you know that Kate's dad is kind of a massive shitbag, and her cutting him off and giving up trying to please him is a very good thing.

Bruceski posted:I can't rewatch it right now to pin down, but something about the opening scene had me thinking Kate's stepmom was an ex of her dad and married to the police Commissioner and so I was really trying to sort out the dynamics of the whole thing and why he kissed her at the checkpoint. I thought she was the mayor because she was giving the "gently caress Batman, turn off the Bat-Signal" speech behind a big "MAYOR!" banner, and then no, the black dude's the mayor, I guess

https://variety.com/2019/tv/news/tv-ratings-batwoman-premiere-1203361151/ Looks like Batwoman's gonna be sticking around to make the fragile men of the internet scream and cry a long while longer. https://comicbook.com/dc/2019/10/08/batwoman-supergirl-worlds-finest-the-cw/ Also we're getting that Supergirl crossover teased in Elseworlds right off the bat, it seems.

Xelkelvos posted:That's definitely a strong showing against most of the networks even if nothing can top Football. Hopefully it does well enough into the midseason to get greenlit for S2 (it likely will) From the look of it alt-right grognards are trying to review bomb it into oblivion on Rotten Tomatoes likes they did with Captain Marvel so they can go "oh, look at all these totally real people who really hate this basic cable super hero show with a burning rational anger for some reason". And if I were a CW exec that would be all the evidence I needed to fast track it for an early renewal.

ruddiger posted:Joker spoilers in regards to the first ep of Batwoman. Yes. The the newspaper clipping in the Batcave says the Joker was responsible for the school bus accident that drove their car off the bridge. Luke said Batman secured their car first before going to save the bus full of kids, only the bumper on the car came off unexpectedly. The implication seems to be that Beth wound up with the Mad Hatter at some point and became his Alice before spinning off on her own, which is a thing in the comics: the Hatter kidnaps a college student and brainwashes her into becoming Alice and she then becomes his partner in crime/understudy. She was kind of the prototype for Harley Quinn in a lot of ways.

GigaPeon posted:gently caress man. In Elseworlds Wayne tower was 230 N. Michigan Ave. and NOW it's the Board of Trade? It's like they think we're morons or something. Trump Chicago is in a couple of establishing shots (taken after the name was ripped off the side of it  ), but no, Crows HQ kinda looked like it was the Nuveen building.

Xelkelvos posted:This reminds me a bit of S1 of Arrow where the MC basically has to borrow resources or stuff from other people to do some of their heroic legwork because they don't have it on their own. I’m in the same boat w/r/t Sophie. Just “wow, you are a lovely person and I really hope you don’t ruin your marriage over this misfire of a relationship with Kate.” I can tell she’s just going to be a process complication. Then again the last character I disliked this intensely upon their introduction was, uh, Iris. And holy poo poo did she prove me wrong, so who knows, in two years time she could be the best character on the show. We’ll just have to see where it goes.

LividLiquid posted:Well, I loves me some Ruby Rose, so I'm here for my first ever Berlantiverse show. It’s been BatLore for a while now that Bruce built multiple Bat Caves in key places around Gotham so that he’d have access to his suit and tech at a moment’s notice no matter where he was in town. The main cave is probably still there under Wayne Manor, the one under Wayne Enterprises is just the one that Kate happened to find.

Grouchio posted:How many of the critics on Rotten Tomatoes were bribed to give this good reviews? The scores for this and Joker should be inverse It’s pulling a 70% fresh average among actual television critics so far and drat strong ratings for a basic cable super hero show on Sunday nights. It’s got 5000+ 1-star reviews from the “audience” because fragile men are incredibly angry that [template: woman doing thing], so they’ve registered a bajillion sockpuppet accounts on RT and have went to town trying to fool the internet into thinking everyone hates this show (actual audiences and critics seem to love this show so far). It’s basically the same thing they did for Captain Marvel but for TV now.

I was kind of hoping that when they did the final panning shot of her on the roof of the Wayne building they'd pan around and we'd see Oliver, Barry and Kara on the roof of the lower building just to complete the circle.

Elentor posted:I'm TV-show starved enough to feel like giving this a go and I'm glad some people are enjoying it but I'm watching this mostly in the hope that it will bloom into something better like, say, LoT did, and if I were to rate this show right now it would really not be high. And you’re completely right. It’s not great or anything, but it is a perfectly serviceable TV show for what it is now with the potential to be something far better in the future. I’m just bemused by the Internet Rage-o-sphere’s crusade to proclaim it the worst piece of media ever produced in the history of existence because of [woman doing thing]. Like, guys, come on. It’s not worth your effort

Xelkelvos posted:They did filming in Chicago earlier in the year for some shots and in Vancouver for the rest It still seems pretty Chicago-centric to me. They must have front-loaded the Chicago-shot stuff in the early episodes because there’s a lot of Chicago style things still there that Vancouver just can’t mimic no matter how much you dress it up.

So wait, is that Tobin Bell as the dude who kidnapped Beth? Because he really sounds like Tobin Bell and it looks like they de-aged him like they did with Kate’s dad.

Selachian posted:For a moment there I thought they were working up to reveal that Alice was actually the grown-up Mouse with a face skin graft and imitating a female voice. That would have been a far better twist, but they seem like they're pushing her into irredeemable territory now so maybe it's all kind of moot that she really is Beth.

nooneofconsequence posted:Where did Alice get all these disposable henchmen willing to die for her, anyway? It's Gotham, there's kind of surplus supply of henchmen willing to follow any given super villain without question. Also the implication in the background seems to be there's a lot of disaffected lower class youths who've basically lost everything to the rich and powerful of Gotham and would follow any charismatic figure who promised them a measure of payback.

LividLiquid posted:I'm digging this show, but like most Batman media, it's struggling to keep up with the times. It's the Dark Knight Rises problem all over again. Oops, we made Bane's motives actually justifiable, quick, turn him into another madman with a bomb, that'll fix everything! This is why Hush worked really well for the brief time he was on screen--it was Kate kicking the poo poo out of an actual rear end in a top hat billionaire who was putting the lives of people he didn't actually care about at risk so he could settle a dumb personal score with another billionaire and Kate just swings in and is like "gently caress off garbage person!"

nooneofconsequence posted:I think by law if you take over Wayne Tower you control all the Wayne money. I'm just assuming that it's operating on the same logic that Flash is. STAR Labs hasn't been operational for 6 years now or at least in any profitable manner, and yet Barry and co. never have to worry about money to keep the lights on or upkeep on all their fancy equipment. To quote my main man Todd Howard, "It just works."
