|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>
