Batwoman Season 1 Review: 5 Ups & 2 Downs From ‘Mine Is A Long And A Sad Tale’

Ups...

5. The Opening Fight

The one aspect of the whole Batwoman thing that the TV series has been nailing is the fight scenes. So far, each episode has contained a rather thrilling combat-filled showdown as the red-haired Caped Cruasder battles either one or multiple bad guys. And that is a streak that 'Mine Is A Long And A Sad Tale' wasted absolutely no time in continuing.

In Kate's only in-costume appearance this week, she turned out the lights (literally and figuratively) for Alice and her goons as she showed up and single-handedly demolished everything in (and out of) sight, knocking each and every one of them unconscious - including her dear old sister.

From the impressive choreography to the delightful use of theatrics (and what about those night-vision animated/Dark Knight-like eyes?), this was the most Batman that the TV series has felt so far, and it was glorious.
