Ahead of its third season premiere on October 13, Batwoman: The Complete Second Season made its arrival on both Blu-ray and DVD.
The series had its work cut out following the departure of Ruby Rose after the first season. How do you stay true to the character’s nature while also bringing in a replacement? They did this in two ways, both in bringing in Javicia Leslie as Ryan Wilder and Wallis Day as Kate Kane. The casting of Day as Kane is another example of casting a Jewish role with a non-Jewish actor, a practice that desperately needs to stop. The other thing that Batwoman did during the second season was respond to current events when it came to policing.
Synopsis
At the end of the
first season, Crows Commander Kane (Dougray Scott) has declared war on Batwoman, forcing everyone around them to choose sides. Season two kicks off with a major game-changer that alters Gotham City and The Bat Team forever. A new hero emerges from the shadows. Relatable, messy, loyal, and a little goofy, Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie) couldn’t be more different than the woman who wore the Batsuit before her, billionaire Kate Kane. Living in her van, Ryan has been made to feel trapped and powerless by the system her whole life and believes the Batsuit is the key to breaking out of it. But what she’ll come to discover is that it’s not the suit that makes Ryan Wilder powerful, it’s the woman inside of it who finds her destiny in changing Gotham City for good.
