User blog:Nightslayer2/Characters I Like To See in Bat-Woman

I know that the Batwoman T.V series is coming and I'm looking forward to it. Here are some things I would like to see in the new television series.

Colonel Jacob Kane
Colonel Kane - and his various military exploits - has played a major role in his daughter's life, especially once she takes on the mantle of Batwoman. To an extent, Colonel Kane becomes Kate's "guy in the chair", helping remotely lead her on all of her different missions. Having Colonel Kane fill his comics-accurate role as Kate's command center, while simultaneously playing against the Arrowverse's existing tropes about that job, would be a pretty interesting set up. Plus, it'd be delightful to see Colonel Kane give characters like Cisco Ramon and Felicity Smoak a bit of a run for their money. He can be like Gambi from Black Lightning. I can see Geoff Pierson, who played Deputy Chief Matthews from Dexter, portraying Colonel Kane. Colonel Kane can be like Joe West/Alfred Pennyworth/Peter Gambi to Kathy. Again, Geoff Pierson should be the one to play Colonel Kane because when he played Deputy Chief Matthews, he did very well in playing a cop who wanted to see justice served which I can see for Colonel Kane.

Crispus Allen
I like to see hardass cop appear in the show. Perhaps Erik King can play him. I can totally see that happening. Crispus Allen would be similar to Samandra Watson and Quentin Lance but eventually decide to work with Kathy.

Red Alice
Early on in Kate's life, Elizabeth and her mother are presumed dead after a terrorist kidnapping gone wrong. Years later, as Kate is working as Batwoman, she crosses paths with Elizabeth, who has since become one of the criminal leaders within Gotham City. Elizabeth, now mentally broken after the trauma of her youth, molds herself after Alice from Alice in Wonderland, and ends up being a pretty formidable foe for Kate. Perhaps John Diggle can appear and help Kathy out with her issues due to experience because of his evil brother Andrew Diggle.

Bruno Manheim
Bruno Manheim has been mentioned a lot. It's confirmed he exists on Earth-38 (Lena Luthor offered Manheim to the DA in exchange for dropping the charges against James Olsen for being Guardian) and Earth-1 (Alexa Van Owen, the woman who was prosecuting Oliver at the trial, sent him to prison beforehand). I think Bruno Manheim would work as the main villain for the show. Manheim becomes a worshipper to the alien god Darkseid and starts to honor him by following The Crime Bible. Manheim can be like Brother Blood/Ricardo Diaz where he serves as the main villain for the first season. Like in the comics, Manheim would be a cannibal, killing and then eating those whom do not submit to (or simply do not immediately join) Intergang like he did with Mirage (as seen in the picture above). Bruno Mannheim later abducted Kite Man, Lamelle, Rawson, Sewer King, and Squid in order to get them to join Intergang. Some of them turned him down and were killed as a result. Manheim would try to sacrifice Batwoman by having her bound and gagged to a sacrificial altar, stabbing her through the heart shortly thereafter. When Kane arrives and rescues his daughter. Batwoman rips Mannheim's knife out of her own chest and impales him in the back, seemingly fatally. This is during Mannheim's attempt to turn Gotham into a miniature replica of Apokolips. Batwoman survives her injuries. I can see Manheim making a good villain for the series.

The Phantasm
From the DCAU, the Phantasm was Andrea Beaumount, Bruce's lover who becomes a murderous masked vigilante after the Valestra Crime Family ruined her life. Here's how I would do it: Andrea was Bruce lover before she and her father had to flee from Gotham with her father Carl, who took money from the mobsters. At the time, Andrea has known Bruce was Batman and upon seeing he has abandoned Gotham, Andrea then decides to take matters into her own hands by going after the Valestra mob. Because of her actions, Bat-Woman is blamed by the police and the city council for them. I think it would be really cool, it would be like Daredevil VS Punisher. It would also make the Phantasm a much meaningful villain for the second season and have a personal connection to Kathy because of Bruce.

Bruce Wayne
If Clark Kent/Superman can appear, then why can't he? Bruce/Batman can appear from the shadows.

The Fox Family
I like to see Lucius Fox Jr. (from Batman Beyond).appear. Lucius Jr. can also serve as Kathy's tech support as well as Colonel Kane, he'd be a lot like Curtis Holt and have a connection to the Riddler since Lucius Jr. hates Riddler for killing his father (like in the Telltale Series). Perhaps Lucius Fox getting killed by the Riddler was the reason Bruce decided to abandon Gotham due to grief. Or you could add Luke Fox and make him be Batwing or Tiffany Fox and make her like her Telltale version. In my opinion, I would prefer if Luke appeared instead and he'd be a cop and like John Diggle 2.0 where he is Kathy's voice of reason.

Anna Ramirez
Renee Montoya is a detective in Gotham City Police Department (GCPD), and she is a common face in many DC adaptations. She has appeared in Batman: The Animated Series, Gotham, and the upcoming Birds of Prey movie. Her role in the latter may keep her from appearing on television again, but if it doesn't, she would be a great fit onto Batwoman. Have Renee be the face of the GCPD on the series, and maybe even have her be a love interest for Kate Kane. If Renee, cannot appear, then replace her with Anna Ramirez (from Christopher Nolan's Batman Trilogy) and make her be Kathy's love interest.

The Klass Family
In the comics, Wilson Klass was the mayor of Gotham with an anti-vigilante stance (like Mayor Emily Pollard from Arrow) while his daughter Catherine Klass had respect for people like Oliver Queen, the Flash, and Batman. Batwoman does something to save his daughter Catherine from danger and Klass decides to end the era of police actively hunting vigilantes so that they can focus on the real criminals. It would be interesting to see the show tackle some politics. Perhaps Catherine Klass could be like Laurel Lance where she is a lawyer willing to go outside the law to get results.

Agent Watson
I know I have been making anti Agent Watson blogs, but I think it would be interesting to see the FBI try to takedown Batwoman only for Watson to be unable to prove Kathy is a vigilante like she did with Oliver. I like to know what Agent Watson thinks of Oliver know that he is the Green Arrow with a badge and if she has changed her perception on masked vigilantes. I would also like to see her try to bring down Batman. When Agent Watson & The FBI try to bring down the Batwoman, I like to see Colonel Jacob Kane use the law to get the federal government off his daughter's back since he doesn't want her to put in harm's way like Oliver.

Victor Sage
The show creators of Arrow really wanted the Question to appear. If the Question cannot be Renee Montoya, then why not make the Question be Victor Sage. Perhaps Victor Sage can be the Adrian Chase where he is dirty. Sage could be a dirty FBI or ARGUS agent that establishes the Suicide Squad to serve as a go-to sabotage group; engaging in wetwork assignments against foreign corporate interests under the guise of regular super-villain carnage. He also seeks to "improve" the group; dismissive of Harley Quinn and Deadshot, he recruits Deathstroke the Terminator and Joker's Daughter as their replacements. He also recruits Black Manta into the group too and alters his helmet so that every person he sees is Aquaman so as to motivate him into being a more prolific killer. Deathstroke and Joker's Daughter betray the team on their first mission headed by both Sage and Lyla. Sage panics and attempts to kill the entire team to prevent the mutiny from exposing the Squad. Lyla  prevents this from happening and in response to his actions, Lyla has Sage banished from having any active say over mission and membership selection. Sage responds by agreeing to work with a corrupt multi-national corporation, which seeks to exploit the new objectives of the team to eliminate business rivals and whistleblowers. Sage arranges for Lyla and Diggle to be demoted, forcing Diggle, Lyla, and the team to go AWOL to get proof of Sage and his corporate backers' agenda. In the end, Lyla agrees to give the multi-national corporation a pass in exchange for them betraying their patsy. Vic Sage is then arrested, but not before he murders Lyla's assistant who tries to stop Sage from killing Lyla after learning his corporate allies sold him out to save themselves. Or you could make Victor Sage be the Question and have him be like his comic book version. If Victor Sage is the Question, then bring Helena Bertinelli back as his love interest.

Some Batman Villains
Like Lonnie Machin/Anarky, Victor Fries/Mr. Freeze, and Talia Al Ghul (I bet Kathy and Jacob are the reasons why Talia ended up at Slabside.

Who do you guys want to see in Batwoman?
