Part I would be the "Elseworlds" portion on The Flash.
I’d say I was contrasting rather than comparing. Inasmuch as Batwoman had no particularly dramatic or emotional scenes, her gruff/monotone line delivery rather suits the persona of mysterious, masked vigilante.I mean, is that really a fair comparison?
Would sort of ruin the reveal of Part I for anyone who haven't been seeing the promos.BTW, don't know if it has been mentioned, but I loved that Grant did the opening v.o. for Arrow; I was sure they were gonna do that for The Flash too, but alas...
True. That's why I understand why they didn't.Would sort of ruin the reveal of Part I for anyone who haven't been seeing the promos.
Grant Gustin's & the rest of The Flash's cast names came up on screen whilst the camera was panning to the bed
Part 1 was on Sunday night's episode of FLASH.....it was titled Elseworlds Part 1.Cheers. The only reason I ask is because this episode is officially called Elseworlds, Part 2. Wondering where Part 1 is?
Confused how Batwoman knew Supergirls secret identity, is there even a Supergirl on that Earth ?
However, Ruby rise was fabulous
Anybody else feel like Ruby Rose’s acting was fine as Kane but bad as Batwoman?![]()
But according to @flickchick85, this might be more the fault of the director than Rose. Apparently, Bamford doesn’t do iconic superhero imagery very well. (For instance, Kara’s “shirt rip” scene was, likewise, shot rather poorly.) Had Rose merely effected a neutral, blank expression for the elevator scene, it would have been fine enough. Instead, she was instructed (one assumes) to look “serious” or “fierce” or some such - which she didn’t/couldn’t pull off..

My assessment: given the limited stuff she was required to do in this episode, Rose was fine. It’s a different question, however, whether she has the chops to flesh out the Batwoman/Kate Kane character and carry a series.![]()
I haven’t watched part 2 yet. Do they play up Batwoman’s lesbianism very much?
I’m just curious because too often they are not subtle about it and it becomes the predominant aspect of the character on these shows.
Thanks. I know that my question was awkward. I found it quite stupid that last year they had Sarah and Alex hooking up as if all lesbians will just be attracted to the other lesbian in the room.

I'm going to say no..? There is one moment where Kane appears to flirt a little with Kara, but that was it. And if that is the level with which it is 'thrown about,' then I'd be fine with it. Although, if this does go to series as I hope it will, there would be more, hopefully tastefully done.![]()
I would also say they do play it up a little bit, I just knew they were going to make her flirt with Kara... It will be "annoying" if it's going to be like that every time Batwoman encounters an attractive woman...
It's one of my worries that her own show will focus too much on the character being a lesbian, I mean you don't see Barry and Oliver flirting with every girl they meet. Anyway, I'm not sold on the Batwoman show yet based on this performance. It didn't really leave me wanting more. I don't know, to me it felt like she was trying too hard.
I think I liked part one better, but I loved seeing the old Flash in action and black suit Superman!
Thing is if you go back and watch fist performances of most TV stars in their first appearance they often haven't found their footing with the character yet. So she can always improve.

I've been really impressed with Ruby Rose so far. Didn't have a ton of interest in the Batwoman show originally but that's already changed

Yes! The delivery was so wooden. Didn’t expect her to crack jokes or do a growl but just didn’t have any gravitas to it. I know she’s not the greatest actress but hopefully she improves by the time her show premieres.
I didn't really have much in the way of expectations for Ruby Rose...and yet somehow, I find myself surprised at how bad she was. It's really evident in her scenes against Benoist. I actually enjoy the bits of this crossover that are about the main three because despite finding Oliver rather bland, the other two actors seem like a lot of fun. But the second she shows up...yeesh.
She is simply a bad actress. Her acting didn't really change between being in the suit and not. And I found it insanely hilarious how poor she was. When she tries to look hard, walking towards the suit, it's some of the worst acting I have seen on these shows. And these shows aren't exactly Mrs. Masiel. And the suit... good lord. The cowl and wig are straight up dollar store quality. Nothing about the writing or acting invoked the character I know and love, and they couldn't have put me off a potential show more if they tried. The audition leak had a much better actress, even if the writing was just as poor.
As someone who out of the loop on these shows and currently catching up on Legends first, I will say I am enjoying watching the main trio together. They are really, really fun together. The quality of the episodes have been really poor imo, but they make it watchable. That being said, the ending and preview got me hyped. I am too much of a Supes fanboy to pass up on Superman vs. Superman.
