Now that the show is gone: let’s be honest! As with so MANY shows before it, this show failed because of BAD WRITING. Actors can only do so much to redeem the dreck they are given. When you have writers that think that they’ll succeed just because a white character is now black, or a straight person is now gay……you realize the writers don’t have a clue as to what GOOD writing is.
I don’t get it why is the WB purposely setting up. Shows to be annihilated and canceled. At least with Naomi we got 12 episodes and by the end of it you saw all her powers she fought the villain and she flew. With Batwoman. We never found out if Bruce Wayne was her father.

FIFTH straight ratings drop. NO ONE is watching this show. Clear the decks and start from scratch WB!
Give it a chance if it where white family it would be given a chance please stop thinking rich blacks have to rely on drugs or rap and keep it up ABC CBS NBC FOX CW are ready to be replaced by Netflix Disney+ Paramount+ Hulu Prime Video because when shows don’t make it they go to them run a few seasons so main networks give shows a chance or y’all the ones will be gone something to think about
Plenty of shows with “white” have and will be cancelled.

Only thing I’ll give is the part about not having drugs or rap involved. Maybe you’ll understand… won’t hold breath… we’re too far gone with using race card, but black people having caught on but they’re called names by their own for not playing victim.
Stop playing the race card.
You have made this same post on every Tom Swift article.
For a diverse show would rather see Naomi or Black lighting
