Batwoman is a CW superhero tv show based on the Batman universe character Batwoman. Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) returns to Gotham some years after Bruce Wayne disappeared. With crime rampant she discovers the Bat Cave and with the help of Lucius Fox's son Luke (Camrus Johnson) decides to don the mantle of Batwoman (a name which comes in a few episodes in) to protect Gotham.

Kate's father Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott) runs the Crows, a private security agency which protects the rich part of Gotham while the regular police protect the rest. As a vigilante Batwoman is a threat to the law and order of Jacob's world so he assigns his lieutenant Sophie Moore (Meagan Tandy) to track down Batwoman and arrest her. Sophie also happens to be Kate's former lover who betrayed Kate and got her expelled from the police academy.

The last two main characters are Beth Kane (Rachel Skarsten) and Mary Hamilton (Nicole Kang). Beth went missing two decades ago and is presumed dead only to return as the villainous Alice bent on revenge on the father and sister that abandoned her. Mary is Kate's stepsister, a socialite instagram celebrity who runs an illegal clinic to help the poor of Gotham. Much of the subplots revolve around these characters and Kate's relationship to them.

For the most part the show is entertaining but not riveting. Rachel Skarsten is really good and everyone else is ok. Maybe the show is trying to be a bit darker then the others so not quite to my tastes.
