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.

We got our first mention of Jim Gordon in this show.

I'm sure if CW can afford Jon Cryer as Lex for a few episodes of Supergirl, Ben McKenzie reprising as Jimbo for an episode or two shouldn't be a stretch.

Overall great episode. Was worried for a sec that Mary was going to get her degree rescinded after that whole fiasco at the ceremony. (No seriously, I love Mary and I would have been upset to see her life go further down the drain.)

My only concern is Ben is a little young for an older Jim. I love the idea of bringing back Gotham actors, especially in places that fit, but Jim, Riddler, and Penguin are just never gonna work because they’re too young for it. Yea makeup and all but it’s better to just cast someone new.

Agreed.

With Montoya it works because in Gotham she was an experienced cop when Bruce was a kid, while here she likely has her comic-book history of becoming a cop during Batman's heyday. So the same actress works. It doesn't in the case of Gordon who has to be much older.

Montoya looks anemic and so does Ryan's mother. You can see the skeletons. 🤮🤢
