The CW just released a new Batwoman trailer and it's going to make all those incels who hate this series really mad. Kinda. This trailer focuses on Kate Kane and Sophie, her girlfriend who has only been seen in short bursts in previous trailers. At 40 seconds, this trailer isn't that different from the previous ones but it does focus on the love these two have for each other, which is nice.
Let's be honest, how many times in media has lesbian love been portrayed as something simple rather than overly sexual?
This trailer is actually pretty simple too; Kate Kane loves Sophie, finds out that she has been kidnapped, and will now do anything to stop her. Granted, it's a bit annoying how the trailer basically spoils Kate saving Sophie. Then again, the very first trailer spoiled the show's pilot episode but that's just how The CW works.
It's weird seeing Batwoman without her hair showing, though the show's creators confirmed that we will be seeing that in Episode 3. Hell, some of the trailers have already been showing the comic-accurate suit, though we'll be fine looking at this Batman-like costume for Kate Kane, at least for now.
Weirdly enough, despite my previous apathy for The CW's DC shows, I'm glad this series is being made. It's always good getting some positive LGBTQ representation in the media and Batwoman is a character that fans can't complain about when it comes to "forced representation" since she has always been a lesbian in the comics.
Batwoman will be coming out on October 6.
