Batwoman
Season 1 - Episode 9 - "Crisis on Infinite Earths - Part 2"
Kate/BW: BW dies on Earth 99, and she will likely take that knowledge back to her Gotham, but it should also make her a bit paranoid--probably not confiding in anyone, but I would not want that coloring her show--and its well-established plots--from this point forward.
...but Kara's idea of saving Beth is so typically naïve of her, just as she is about Lena.
Luke: Funny--Kara finds Luke cute, which makes Kate uncomfortable.
Wayne: The exoskeleton is a nod to the legendary miniseries Kingdom Come, where the aged Wayne / Batman needed a permanent suit for stability. The difference here is that killing Earth-99's Superman put him in that suit.
Yes, they are trying to paint the disillusioned, bitter Wayne who needs to be inspired to atone for his "crimes" by Kate, but I was pleased he had his own understanding of what an alien threat with superpowers meant. It is essentially a replay of Wayne's beliefs seen in Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice, only this time, there was no intervention of hope.
What about Kate killing Wayne? How is she a paragon of anything after murdering him? What did that world's Luke say or do about it?
SM/Lois/SM-II: Earth 96 - "Caped Wonder Stun City"--a Daily Planet headline from Superman the Movie (1978).
Superman vs Superman....if only the FX were not so crappy.
Oliver: Using one of the Lazarus Pits on him was a novel idea, if for no other reason than to see if he returns with any insight about what is coming and who will end up on the dead side--not yet, in any case.
Lex: With Lex using the Book of Destiny to kill all Supermen, and the Monitor still insisting everyone has a part to play, I can't help thinking the showrunners will have a certain sister break her steady character path to stop her brother. If not that, then Lex himself will serve the same purpose as the younger Luthor from the comic.
NOTES: Using Williams' "Can You Read My Mind" was too much of a trip down memory lane.
For a 44 minute episode, only 20 minutes of it actually moved the plot in any way. The rest was filler (fan service), and this is "two hours" in....
GRADE: C.
