The Batwoman trailer debuted earlier this week with the first look at Ruby Rose’s Batwoman in her own series, but it’s being massively comment bombed on YouTube.
The comments are reminiscent of those from Captain Marvel and Star Wars: The Last Jedi which seems to imply the pushing of a “feminist agenda.” At the time of this writing, the video has over 3 million views but over 200k dislikes. The comments are flooding in and the trailer is still trending on YouTube. Here are some of the comments:
Batwoman Katharine Cane made her debut in the maxi-series 52 in issue 7 and later went on to have her own series in 2011 as Batwoman in Batwoman #1. She was a lesbian expelled from West Point due to the Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell US Military policy that banned LGBTQ people from service. It was officially repealed later in 2011.

Do you think Ruby Rose’s Batwoman will continue to face backlash after the series debuts? What are your thoughts on the first trailer for the series? Let us know down in the comments!
Ruby Rose will be the first openly gay superhero to lead a live-action series. Ruby Rose made her debut in the Arrowverse last year in during the Elseworlds crossover event last year which featured Green Arrow, The Flash, and Supergirl visiting Gotham City after learning about the machinations of an Arkham Asylum doctor.
Here is the official synopsis for Batwoman:
Kate Kane (Ruby Rose) never planned to be Gotham’s new vigilante. Three years after Batman mysteriously disappeared, Gotham is a city in despair. Without the Caped Crusader, the Gotham City Police Department was overrun and outgunned by criminal gangs. Enter Jacob Kane (Dougray Scott) and his military-grade Crows Private Security, which now protects the city with omnipresent firepower and militia. Years before, Jacob’s first wife and daughter were killed in the crossfire of Gotham crime. He sent his only surviving daughter, Kate Kane, away from Gotham for her safety.
After a dishonorable discharge from military school and years of brutal survival training, Kate returns home when the Alice in Wonderland gang targets her father and his security firm, by kidnapping his best Crow officer Sophie Moore (Meagan Tandy). Although remarried to wealthy socialite Catherine Hamilton-Kane (Elizabeth Anweis), who bankrolls the Crows, Jacob is still struggling with the family he lost, while keeping Kate –– the daughter he still has –– at a distance. But Kate is a woman who’s done asking for permission. In order to help her family and her city, she’ll have to become the one thing her father loathes –– a dark knight vigilante.
With the help of her compassionate stepsister, Mary (Nicole Kang), and the crafty Luke Fox (Camrus Johnson), the son of Wayne Enterprises’ tech guru Lucius Fox, Kate Kane continues the legacy of her missing cousin, Bruce Wayne, as Batwoman. Still holding a flame for her ex-girlfriend, Sophie, Kate uses everything in her power to combat the dark machinations of the psychotic Alice (Rachel Skarsten), who’s always somewhere slipping between sane and insane. Armed with a passion for social justice and a flair for speaking her mind, Kate soars through the shadowed streets of Gotham as Batwoman. But don’t call her a hero yet. In a city desperate for a savior, she must first overcome her own demons before embracing the call to be Gotham’s symbol of hope.
Batwoman stars Ruby Rose, Rachel Skarsten, Meagan Tandy, Camrus Johnson, Dougray Scott, Elizabeth Anweis, and Nicole Kang. Caroline Dries wrote the pilot and serves as an executive-producing alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schecht, and Geoff Johns.
Batwoman will air on Sundays at 8:00 p.m. on The CW.
