You could fix a lot of that trailer by just changing one word.
"The suit is perfect."
"It will be. When it fits me."
(That, and getting rid of the last cringey line in the trailer.)
It's great to have a female protagonist. It's fine to have a homosexual protagonist. But it's weak to root her identity in her gender and sexuality. I'm hoping the series isn't driven by this one idea, but the trailer certainly gives that impression. CW, take a page from the MCU playbook for a change. The Black Widow was a strong character because neither she, nor the other members, made any big deal about her gender.
If that isn't bad enough, did she really have to piss on Bruce Wayne's legacy to promote herself? It's not only misplaced writing, it makes me think less of her character.
I agree there is a lot of “girl power” in the trailer. But it’s no secret that women for years have taken a backseat to the male lead in all varieties of entertainment. If this show inspires females and progresses the female lead movement, then I fully support it.
for me.
Too much 'girl power' being jammed down my face! (and this is only the trailer!)
Totally makes me NOT focus on the character itself anymore.
If she wanted/wants her own (whether appropriate or not) KUDOS here... then be original.
"I'm Batwoman!! (why is everyone associating me with me Batman!) Ugggh..."
umm.. maybe choose a different name/customer/theme/vibe perhaps??
(eye roll)

That suit in the pic above is awful. Did they just buy the first thing they found on amazon?
You can NOT tell me what "I" feel is being 'jammed down my face. (period).
Its not YOUR place to tell me how or what I feel.
I never said there was a 'law' (WTF are you talking about?)
And you are right.. I dont have to (and wont) be watching it... hence the POINT of chiming in on a thread that is discussing it.
As I stated.. "FOR ME"..................
So for a girl to be in a position of power.. they need to 'man bash'? They need to complain? They need to be seen as unique pioneers even when standing on the shoulders of others before them? That cant really be how you define women in power can it? (pretty sad,, seems like a disservice for those in power that adibe by the rules everyone has/should be following) Gender respect goes both ways.
You have completely missed my point, made it personal for you (somehow?) and then respond like this? (eye roll)....
So I'm not buying what they are selling.
If they are in the business of 'selling' SJW or girl power.. or any other 'agenda' outside of 'entertainment'.. than it isnt for me.
You cant be 'special' and a 'victim' at the same time.. frickin' pick one!
Typical hypocracy .... even by your own statement.
Men have been doing 'x, y, x'... (which is bad)
But now girls can do it.. and its good/ok?
How about accountability for ALL.
(sigh)
* someone needs a hug today.
Actually it CAN be two things!You cant be 'special' and a 'victim' at the same time.. frickin' pick one!
