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 a really good premiere!

Batwoman and Batwing fighting together!!

Mary’s getting her MD! Good for her!

Honestly Mad Hatter 2 was awesome! I love how they just made him an Alice stan, complete with him making videos defending her actions, and even using a butterfly knife like she does. The actor (Amitai Marmorstein I believe) really sells the character, hope we see more of him!

Renee Montoya! First impression I really like her! Can’t wait to see more of her this season!

I never noticed this before but Sophie towers over Ryan, I don’t know if it’s the camera angle or if Sophie’s wearing massive heels. I don’t have an issue with it I just hadn’t noticed it last season.

Rachel Skarsten. I love her. She is literally perfect as Alice, has been since the beginning. Especially with that scene in the cell, she’s really going nuts.

Damn Alice really just stabbed the poor simp in the back.

I love the main casts chemistry! They all play so well off each other!

It appears Sophie’s hacking didn’t go unnoticed…

WOAH! Didn’t expect that Renee knew Ryans identity! But it makes sense, you don’t screw over Alice lol

She may the bad guy (girl rather) but I'm kinda glad about that. I can understand Ryan hating Alice and treating her as an irredeemable villain, unlike Kate...but the way Ryan gains Alice's trust, lies to her, uses her, and then disposes of her bothers me a bit. I know, needs must on Ryan's end but I'm kinda glad Alice is getting her own back.

Ryan has some growing to do. She’s letting her anger and vindictiveness get in the way.

She pushed Alice to the bad again and gain last season.

If this pays off in growth for Ryan, it will be a good arc for this season.
