Good Bye to All That: Batwoman S1

Welcome to the third episode of Good Bye to All That – Pop
Break’s television podcast series that focuses on season (and
sometimes series) finales of shows you absolutely need to be
watching.


Pop Break’s Television Editor Alex Marcus is joined by Pop Break
Television Columnist Alan Sarapa (writer of Alan’s Soap Box).
Together this dynamic duo (sorry, had to) do a deep dive into the
highs and lows of the debut season of the CW’s Batwoman.


Batwoman, which premiered on October 6, 2019, was developed by
acclaimed television writer and producer Caroline Dries (Melrose
Place, Smallville). The first season, which episode run was cut
short due to the COVID-19 pandemic, “follows Kate
Kane overcoming her demons and past to become Gotham
City’s new symbol of hope as the vigilante Batwoman.”


The series starred Rose as Kane/Batwoman, Rachel Skarsten, Meagan
Tandy, Nicole Kang, Camrus Johnson, Elizabeth Anweis, Dougray
Scott, and the voice of MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.

Infinite Earths miniseries event
