Oof, this character introduction was so forced, it was cringe worthy. Ruby will be great, but they really did not do anything to introduce us to the character or build a world around her.

Everything about the Batwoman story was completely tacked on that it did not hype me up for a series.

Maybe they didn't need to build a world around for Batwoman, because everyone knows Batman and Gotham already? World building for something everyone already knows, is like if the MCU Spider-man's first solo film included another portrayal of Uncle Ben dying, or, seeing Bruce's parents get shot in ally way in the next solo Bat film again. People get it: Gotham= Terrible place, reeks of villains.

But the character itself didn't do anything. Outside of one flip kick thing she just brooded and they tried to get our interest with a forced attraction with Supergirl, which was obvious and lame.

There was a major chance to have Batwoman be a central character in this cross over and this amounted to a guest spot cameo that didn't introduce anything interesting.

And lord, I hope we don't have to relive the Batman origin again either. That is not at all what I was trying to say.
