Batwoman – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com Entertainment News, Celebrities and Fandoms Fri, 04 Feb 2022 14:45:36 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://www.geekfeed.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/cropped-Geekfeed-Favicon-White-32x32.png Batwoman – Geekfeed https://www.geekfeed.com 32 32 The CW Orders Pilot for Gotham Knights https://www.geekfeed.com/the-cw-orders-pilot-for-gotham-knights/ Fri, 04 Feb 2022 14:45:36 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=63975 The DCEU may be taking things slow when it comes to their theatrical releases, but The CW has just ordered another DC property to develop a pilot.

According to Entertainment Weekly, a pilot has been ordered for a series called Gotham Knights. The series isn’t actually based on the upcoming game by WB Montreal, and will tell its own story. This is the synopsis as per EW:

In the wake of Bruce Wayne’s murder, his rebellious adopted son forges an unlikely alliance with the children of Batman’s enemies when they are all framed for killing the Caped Crusader. And as the city’s most wanted criminals, this renegade band of misfits must fight to clear their names. But in a Gotham with no Dark Knight to protect it, the city descends into the most dangerous it’s ever been. However, hope comes from the most unexpected of places as this team of mismatched fugitives will become its next generation of saviors known as the Gotham Knights.

While the Gotham Knights game is a team that includes Batgirl, Nightwing, Robin, and the Red Hood, it looks like the CW version of GK will be following a completely different team comprised of the children of Batman’s villains. We should probably expect to meet a bunch of other Gotham regulars here and there, but we shouldn’t expect them to hang around for too much.

It’s definitely a new spin, and allows for the show to make new characters with these kids connected to Gotham villains. Granted The CW has a very specific tone when it comes to their DCEU shows, we should expect Gotham Knights to be more or less the same—with a crossover event coming sometime in the future; depending on how well it’s received.

No release date has been set for Gotham Knights.

Ex-Batwoman Ruby Rose Accuses WBTV of Misconduct and Unsafe Work Conditions https://www.geekfeed.com/ex-batwoman-ruby-rose-accuses-wbtv-of-misconduct-and-unsafe-work-conditions/ Thu, 21 Oct 2021 15:38:54 +0000 https://www.geekfeed.com/?p=62090 With Javicia Leslie playing the new Batwoman and Wallis Day taking over the role of Kate Kane, fans thought that Ruby Rose was already done with the role. Fast-forward to today, and Rose has just opened up about unsafe work conditions and misconduct on the set of Batwoman that eventually led to her exit.

In a series of IG stories (via Variety), Rose calls out specific people connected to the show that led to her miserable experience. She writes:

“To everyone who said I was too stiff on bawoman [sic], imagine going back to work 10 days after this … 10 DAYS!!!!!! (or the whole crew and cast would be fired and I’d let everyone down because Peter Roth said he wouldn’t recast and i just lost the studio millions (by getting injured on his set) that is [sic] be the one who cost so many people their jobs.”

Several more have been called out besides Roth, and Rose has also shared some images of her in the hospital with the injuries that she sustained on set.

Of course, WBTV is not having any of it, and is accusing Rose of sharing ‘revisionist history.’ They released a statement, but was called out by Justice League star Ray Fisher who, like Rose, has claimed that WB has tried to keep him quiet after he came out with accusations of misconduct on the set of JL.

After months of Rose being made to look like the difficult person when it came to her exit, the videos and photos of her injury explain a lot about her side of things. With WB already in hot water with Fisher’s accusations, fans are hoping that they manage to fix their internal problems to avoid any further problems with cast and crew.

In the meantime, Batwoman is still going and new episodes air on Wednesdays on The CW.
