Batwoman Trailer Reactions: 3 Ups & 4 Downs

2. No New Footage Of Her Final Look

Despite the unwarranted backlash over the casting of Ruby Rose as Batwoman, there was absolutely no denying that, when suited up in the Elseworlds crossover, she looked incredible. With the red wig accompanying her all-black bodysuit, viewers commended how comic-accurate the character looked and, if anything, it made them more excited to see her star in her own show.

That's why it was rather disappointing to see that there was no new footage of that suit in the trailer, with its only appearance being a recycled shot from the no-story teaser released last week. Instead, we got a ton of footage that featured her wearing a modified version of Batman's suit that, in all honesty, pales in comparison to her Elseworlds look.

Granted, the pilot is set pre-Elseworlds to tell the story of how Kate came to be Batwoman, so it's understandable that she dons a prototype before the real suit but, given that her comic-accurate appearance was undoubtedly one of her strongest attributes, it would have been nice to see the classic look play a greater role in the trailer.
