Batman: Every Live-Action Gotham City Ranked Worst To Best

6. Batwoman

Batwoman Gotham City Arrowverse
The CW

Like certain other spins on Gotham City, the Batwoman version of Gotham seems to be one that we'll now never get a chance to revisit.

For those who missed it, The CW formally cancelled Batwoman last month, with the decision made not to renew this particular corner of the network's shared Arrowverse of shows after its third season. Similarly, DC's Legends of Tomorrow was canned at the same time after five seasons, which follows the concluding of Arrow, Supergirl, and Black Lightning in the past two years. Added to that, it looks as if the next season of The Flash could well be the series' last.

Whether the Arrowverse ever delves back into Gotham City remains to be seen, but the chances of any major Gotham happenings seem slim now that the axe has swung on Batwoman.

Throughout Kate Kane and Ryan Wilder's respective times as the Scarlet Knight, the shady side of Gotham often shines through, with Batwoman's spin on the city one very much full of scum and villainy as the titular heroine looks to drag Gotham City out of the gutter following the absence of the Caped Crusader.
