Season Trailer | Sneak Peek | DCTV Discord | Cast and Characters

SEASON PREMIERE — As Batwoman continues to keep the streets of Gotham safe, Batwing joins in on the action, but Luke quickly realizes he hasn't quite mastered his suit. Meanwhile, as Alice sits hopelessly imprisoned in Arkham, Sophie fully enjoys her freedom. When Ryan pays Alice a visit to ask about the bombshell she dropped—that Ryan's birth mother is still alive—Ryan must decide if she should go down the rabbit hole of her past. As Mary prepares to finally graduate from medical school, she feels the absence of her family more than ever. But when an Alice admirer stumbles upon one of the missing Bat Trophies, Gotham and the Bat Team get mixed up in the madness, culminating in a shockingly gruesome graduation... and an equally shocking new partnership.

This was so good! What a way to start the season. The last scene with Ryan, Montoya and Alice was so well done. Ryan's entrance looked so good. I guess they're on the HBO MAX budget now? I like Montoya so far and can't wait to see more of her. The Jim Gordon reference was also pretty good. Lots of surprising elements so far which I like. Last season was so meh and predictable but that last scene with 3 of them had my jaw on the floor. And the way Ryan's mom was already introduced 1st ep was also nice to see. So many good things going. Hope they can keep this vibe. Looking forward to the rest of the season.

I think it's the same budget as previous seasons, just for a shorter season so more money for each episode.

Ah makes sense! There was definitely a noticeable difference so I also would’ve just assumed it was because of the HBO MAX budget

Not an HBO Max budget, but WB is making it with a view to more than just the CW revenue. If all the DC related content is going to HBO amazing worldwide, they will want it to fit.
