| − | |Based on the DC Comics superheroine of the same name, this latest entry to the DC Comics-based shared fictional universe dubbed the "Arrowverse" on the CW has gone even further to the Left than previous adaptations, including ''Supergirl''. Title superheroine Kate Kane, who takes up Bruce Wayne/Batman's job after he inexplicably disappears from Gotham City, is an "out" lesbian: the first episode reveals she was discharged from a military academy for entering an affair with a woman named Sophie. It is noted for being exceedingly feministic and pushing [[social justice]] to an immense level, and the pilot even has a cameo from far-left MSNBC correspondent [[Rachel Maddow]]. It has been criticized as being composed exclusively of themes of social justice.<ref>https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/lindsay-kornick/2019/10/06/lesbian-batwoman-fights-social-justice-and-not-much-else</ref> Ratings eventually plummeted from its pilot episode ratings of 1.86 million viewers by the second episode,<ref>https://tvline.com/2019/10/14/batwoman-ratings-season-1-episode-2/</ref> which is suspected to be the result of the star Ruby Rose insulting critics of the series by assuming they are all "old white men".<ref>https://metro.co.uk/2019/09/25/ruby-rose-lashes-online-haters-batwoman-casting-10804760/</ref> In the third episode, arc villain Tommy Elliot appears as an obvious caricature of [[Donald Trump]], even to the point of declaring his intention to "make Gotham safe again."<ref>https://www.newsbusters.org/blogs/culture/lindsay-kornick/2019/10/20/make-gotham-safe-again-batwoman-introduces-trump-villain</ref> As of the 17th episode "A Narrow Escape", ratings for ''Batwoman'' have fallen to a record low of 630,000 viewers; despite the low ratings and viewership (which would have led to its cancellation on any of the Big Four networks), however, the CW chose to spite the show's critics by renewing it for a second season in January 2020.
