I&#8217;ve enjoyed watching every episode each week. They do a great job with balancing the action and the character development, with a little bit of humor. At first, I tried to compare it with &#8220;Gotham,&#8221; but it&#8217;s a very different show. However, it does have certain qualities that are similar to that show.\u00a0 It can be very twisted, bizarre and wacky at times (particularly the villains).<\/p>\n<p>The season ending with some shockers &#8211; especially the reveal of Bruce Wayne&#8217;s lookalike. After the season ended, it was revealed that star Ruby Rose would not be returning as Kate Kane. This is a terrible disappointment because she did such a great job in the role.\u00a0 She will definitely be missed. I hope that the person that replaces her as Batwoman (not as Kate Kane) will be just as good. I have to wonder how this will affect the rest of the show, which was built around Kate&#8217;s father, sister, enemies, girlfriends, etc.<\/p>\n<p>The DVD is just as good as the series. I&#8217;m\u00a0 reviewing the Blu-ray here.\u00a0 There is a lack of extras, however. Perhaps that&#8217;s because of the pandemic? I don&#8217;t know. The only features are &#8220;The Best of DC TV&#8217;s Comic-Con Panels San Diego 2019&#8221; and deleted scenes. That sure isn&#8217;t enough. I hope that future versions (perhaps the complete set) will have a lot more than that.<\/p>\n<p>MORE INFORMATION:<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">The CW\u2019s #1 New Show<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><span class=\"il\">BATWOMAN<\/span>:<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Contains All 20 Exhilarating Episodes from the First Season,<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Plus All-New Special Features!<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Available on Blu-ray\u2122 &amp; <span class=\"il\">DVD<\/span> August 18, 2020<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Blu-ray includes a Limited-Edition Bonus Disc<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">with All Five Episodes of the DC Crossover Event<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">Crisis on Infinite Earths and 6 Crossover Bonus Features!<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">BURBANK, CA (April 30, 2020) \u2013 The future of Gotham is in her hands with the release of <span class=\"il\">Batwoman<\/span>: The Complete First Season on Blu-ray and <span class=\"il\">DVD<\/span> on August 18, 2020 from Warner Bros.
