Spoilers Batwoman - Season 2

Nice image.
That poster has a nice 3D quality to it.
Even if they had stuck with Kate I felt that they needed to do something to shake up the show a little bit with the Kate/Alice storyline. I'm kind of digging what they're putting out there, let's see if it holds up in execution.
EW has posted a new article with the first pictures of Safiyah, along with quotes from Shivaani Ghai, the actress who plays her, and Batwoman showrunner Caroline Dries.
I'm definitely very curious to finally get to meet her after all the build up last season.

The crossover with Superman & Lois has been canceled.
Not sorry. S&L only has 13 episodes this season, and I’d prefer they spent that time establishing and exploring their own characters and storylines.
I think I'd have to agree. If it was a 20 episode season, perhaps, but I think it's better to save it for a second season.
According to the article this is due to COVID, they aren't allowed to "cross crews". But from a creative stand point, it's also nice, because it will give S&L a chance to solidly establish it's identity before they start crossing over with the other shows.
Entertainment Weekly has announced that they will be doing a series of behind the scenes videos for Batowman called On Set with Batwoman. They'll be posted on their website every Monday, a day after the new episodes air on Sunday.

In the larger scheme of things, though, it's a shame. The latter half of last season was a disappointment because they went to all the trouble to merge the universes of the various shows in Crisis and then made very little use of the shared world, making me wonder why they even bothered. I was hoping that this season, they'd ramp up the crossover elements -- not just in terms of the big event multiparters but on a more routine basis, characters and story elements shared across the shows, like when Felicity or Lyla would drop in on The Flash for an episode, or when Black Siren was introduced on The Flash and migrated to Arrow. Now that's less likely to happen.
We still have that 5-episode Diggle tour scheduled I think.
Hmm, yeah, on second thought, I guess having a single guest actor show up in a regular episode requires less "crossing the crews" than a full-on crossover where the various shows' staffs are shooting on each other's sets and whatnot. So they could still manage some shared-universe stuff on an individual-character level, as well as a conceptual level. I hope they do. I never wanted them to merge the universes because I couldn't see what narrative value it had. It hardly seemed necessary, given how easy it was for characters to cross between universes on a whim with Cisco's little pocket breach devices. What would justify it is actually using it to drive new stories, to really explore the ramifications of having Earth-1's history of metahumans and Earth-38's history of aliens merged in a single reality. That's what we haven't really seen yet, aside from a few token elements like having Kara Danvers write Batwoman's coming-out article or having Lucius Fox use Kryptonian materials in building the Batsuit.
I think it's going to be easier to pull off something like that next season. With three shows ended, the remaining ones can more easily pull characters and locations and stuff from those shows as there's no scheduling kerfuffle between different productions to consider. We could see something like Batwoman/Thunder team-up, or Superman/Martian Manhunter, or Brainiac can hang out with Legends for a bit...
The article/ official line is Covid...but i wonder how much of it was also due to RUby ROse bowing out. They had gone to the trouble of establishing burgeoning friendship between Kara and Kate, which might have spilled in-universe to Clark and Kate (i.e. having mutual respect, and assuming Clark knew Bruce, moew tie-ins)... now, it seems more of a random connection. There is no 1st or 2nd degree connection to build off of. So not as exciting a crossover.
