I came across this article from Hypable.

https://www.hypable.com/batwoman-ryan-wilder-batsuit/

I gotta say, as someone who was really sore about the showrunners ditching Kate Kane, I think giving Ryan her own, different bat suit would be a good call.

Many fans of Batwoman (comics and season 1), including myself, are still sore about the decision to completely change characters. That said, I think it would ease viewers to make a clean break from Kate's Batwoman, instead of making it seem like Ryan is trying to be Kate's Batwoman.

In that sense, I think going with a brand new suit and style would be the correct move. Maybe even change up the color scheme. Make it clear to viewers and comic readers that this is NOT Kate Kane. It's a new character trying to stand on their own.

I personally am gonna give this new season 1-2 episodes to catch my interest. If I don't find it intriguing by then, I'll end up dropping Batwoman altogether. But going this direction, instead of having Ryan masquerade as Kate Kane, would definitely help, in my opinion.

I'm curious to hear your thoughts, you guys.

I just shared this article to try and spread a bit of positivity, as well as give us something to discuss between now and January.
Kuddos for trying, kdogg87! :D

It's hard to be positive when a beloved character is basically tossed aside. Personally, I think Greg Berlanti needs to be b*slapped for suggesting the reboot in the first place. It seems we're all feeling pretty much the same - lots of trepidation about the reboot, but willing to hold out hope that Caroline is going to pull off a miracle that'll hook us in. At least they have the plotline of Kate's mysterious disappearance so they can bring her back if Ryan falls flat.

Not happy about the Batwoman is no longer Kate Kane decision.

I have confidence in Caroline Dries, so, if she decides a new suit is order, then so be it. See the attachment picture from CBR... But, she is going to have to win me over and it won't be easy. Not just introducing a new character, but keeping the other characters connected and relevant, especially Alice. Rachel Skarsten is the best villain to hit Arrowverse in some time.

I will be sitting on pins and needles when the new season starts and hoping I buy in to it. Until then...

Oh, believe me, I'm in the same boat. I'm giving it 1-2 episodes for them to genuinely catch my interest in season 2, and if they don't, I'll be dropping Batwoman. I certainly wish the new actress well, and have no ill will for anyone involved. I'm hoping they prove me wrong, but this seems like a new show. Batwoman, as we knew it in season 1, is very likely over.

That being said, I would love to be pleasantly surprised.

I'm very curious if we'll get an actual suit reveal at Fandome.

The new suit in the artwork is pretty decent on paper.

Every character reboot seems to come with a suit reboot as well. And there's the fact that Ryan is 3 inches shorter than Kate! So, yeah I expect there'll be a suit change. Caroline's team writes characters well, so I'm hoping for the best.

Not an easy topic for me.
Yes, it should look different then the suit and cowl that Kate Kane had.
But, these aspects MUST stay:
- Bat ears
- Batwoman logo

The red and black color scheme should stay. But perhaps with a color added?
I mean Batwoman fights at night, so most parts of the outfit should be black/should stay black to "blend in".
-
They already had 4 different cowls in the first season (incl. Elseworlds).
I'm 99,9% sure that Ryan Wilder will have a "new" cowl.
Hopefully it doesn't get any smaller than the last version. I want a mask that really conceals her identity.

I don't think many will confuse Ryan with Kate either way as Javicia looks ....quite different.... than Ruby ;)
But a new costume will underline that.
Perhaps she will wear the old costume in the first episode, but then Luke designs a new one for her.
-
Pretty sure that we might see her new costume this weekend ;)
(at least a glimpse at it)
