The reboot did not go according to plan: the series “Batwoman” updated anti-records

Last week on the TV channel CW started the second season of the controversial series “Batwoman“(Batwoman), which is effectively a soft restart of the entire project. The final result exceeded all the expectations of the pessimists.

Let us recall the background. The first season of “Batwoman” was remembered by many thanks to a disgusting advertising campaign. Lesbian Superhero Show Kate Kane served under the sauce of the struggle for social justice, and the leading role Rkill rose bluntly stated that her show was not “for old white men.”

The result was predictable. If the first episode of “Batwoman” attracted about 1.8 million people to screens in the United States, then by the 17th episode, views had fallen three times (up to 0.63 million people). The final was watched by about 740 thousand people, even the desperate step of the creators who entered history did not help him Hasha – one of the villains Batman

Production for season two kicked off with Ruby Rose leaving the project. She was replaced by a black actress Havicia Lesliewho plays a new character – Ryan Wilder… The creators of the project also stated that the central theme of the second season will be “racial politics”, and the main villain will be a gangster Black mask

Wilder is a cute and well-trained but goofy, undisciplined and chaotic lesbian who lives in a van with a houseplant. The second season starts with a piece of an airplane with a Batwoman costume falling from heaven to the main heroine (not a joke), after which she almost immediately begins to fight crime.

As for the ratings, the American critics expectedly gave Batwoman high ratings, so on Rotten tomatoes the second season’s GPA is now 86%. Viewers perceived the show more negatively, rating the “freshness” at 28%. On IMDB the first series was rated at 4.9 points out of 10.
