Red Hairing: A Batwoman Podcast

We discuss Batwoman season 1, episode 15 “Off With Her Head.” We learn through a series of flashbacks that Alice’s dark past only gets darker and more gross. Shelley and Erin try to process an episode that was, for all intents and purposes, a short horror movie. We discuss Batwoman’s moral code, why Alice wanted Kate to meet August, and how many times is too many times to see the scorched face of a very mean grandma.

In this episode, Shelley, Erin, and special guest, Leslie, discuss all of the Batwoman news we have received over the summer leading up to the casting of Javicia Leslie as Ryan Wilder, Batwoman’s new lead. We are thrilled about the casting of Javicia Leslie, but we have some pretty strong concerns about Ryan Wilder’s character description. We discuss where the story might go with Ryan, what her presence means for the show’s supporting characters, and whether we think Kate might eventually come back with a new face. After our discussion on Batwoman, we quickly descend into a rabbit hole (no pun intended) about all of the Arrowverse decisions we didn’t love this season. It’s a good time, y’all.

We recorded this episode on May 24, one day before George Floyd was murdered. We have delayed releasing this because we wanted our focus and your focus to be on the Black Lives Matter movement. We want the focus to be on ending police brutality and racial inequality that continues to permeate the US and the world. We recognize that we all need something to unwind to at the end of the day. If this episode is that for you, please know how happy that makes us and enjoy!

*** This episode was recorded prior to the announcement that Kate Kane would be written off the show, so please excuse our slightly irrelevant hot takes. We still stand by the idea of recasting Kate Kane. ***

In this episode, we discuss Batwoman’s impromptu season finale “O, Mouse!” Mouse does meet his end, but not in the way we thought, Jacob is on another level with his obsession with Batwoman, Sophie and Julia are official, and the only thing that can kill Batwoman is ... kryptonite? Mary continues to carry the BatTeam on her shoulders and is, as always, the best of us. We also discuss Ruby Rose’s departure from the series and pitch our top choices for the impending recast of Kate Kane.

In this episode, we use listener feedback to guide our conversation about Batwoman Season 1, episodes 18 “If You Believe in Me, I’ll Believe in you,” and 19 “A Secret Kept from All the Rest.” In a nutshell, this show is so gay and so, so good. We’re still wondering what secrets Julia is keeping, and we think Kate might have some as well. We worry about Mouse’s future of aliveness on this planet. And... why the heck does Alice need Kryptonite?

We’re back! Erin and Shelley discuss Batwoman season 1, episode 17 “A Narrow Escape.” Alice and Mouse establish themselves as major players in Arkham with impressive speed, Luke finds out who kills his dad, and Sophie and Julia are definitely going to kiss soon! Most importantly, the love of our lives, Mary Hamilton, tells Kate that she knows she’s Batwoman in a hope speech that would give Kara Danvers a run for her money.
