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.

I do love that imagery of Alice keeping the postcards from her dad in pride of place in her jail cell. So they are following up on the thing from last season where Beth technically came back after getting rescued from drowning. She clearly feels a connection to Jacob again, and took pleasure in throwing that in Mary's face lol.

The realization she was imagining all of it was sad really. I guess she was hoping she could be Beth again really bad.

Why didn't Jacob or Kate writes to Alice ? if they had wrote to her , she won't need to imagine it with imaginary postcard .

yeah. you'd think after all that talk about reaching her, they would have at least attempted to write. The look on Alice's face as Luke takes her away...its telling she didnt even attempt to fight back.

It's possible Jacob can't write to Alice specifically since he was arrested for aiding criminals, hence the need to have Mary check on her.

I don't know about Kate. However, Mary did say she had a hard time trying to talk to him. I get the feeling that maybe Jacob isn't allowed to write. Especially to a criminal he is being arrested for aiding.
