* AndTheAdventureContinues: The show was not renewed after the third season, but the season-turned-series finale ends pretty conclusively to give the characters resolution. The exception is [[spoiler:a possible new villain arising from the wreckage where the Marquis's/Joker's acid bombs were dropped]], indicating Ryan/Batwoman and her team will still be there to protect Gotham, even if the viewers aren't there to see it.

On April 22, 2022, it was announced the series would not be renewed, becoming the fourth ''Arrowverse'' series to end, wrapping up three seasons and 51 episodes.

After the series finished its Third Season, the series was not renewed for a Fourth.

The series is currently airing its third season.

* DependingOnTheWriter: How "invincible" the Batsuit seems to be depends on the episode. In one episode being shot at is as annoying as flies bumping into her, in another episode being hit with a trumpet can knock her out.

* KnifeNut: Alice ''[[EvilIsHammy loves]]'' flicking her ButterflyKnife open and closed while she talks, as well as being quite accurate with throwing it and other knives.

* AffirmativeActionLegacy: In Season 2, the mantle of Batwoman is taken over by Ryan Wilder, a black woman from an underpriveleged background.

* BulletproofVest: The Batsuit is this to an insane degree. Described by Luke as "military-grade kevlar woven with enriched carbon nanotubes of [his] dad's own design," it can stop a test-fired .50 caliber round from a Desert Eagle (which is basically a hand-held '''rifle''') without a scratch, making the wearer effectively immune to handguns. Kate does mention that getting shot still stings, though. Its toughness is such that Bruce designed a handheld {{railgun}} so he'd have a weapon capable of piercing the armor if it was stolen.

* CategoryTraitor: Ryan clearly sees Sophie as this, as Ryan sees The Crows as a "white supremacy" group and she is working for them. Ryan often refers to Sophie as "[[MaliciousMisnaming Crowphie]]" and rarely passes an opportunity to show her distain for her.

* InformedAttribute: Ryan keeps calling The Crows a "white supremacy" group, and usually calls it that to Sophie, who is a black lesbian woman and [[NumberTwo second-in-command]], [[spoiler:[[YouAreInCommandNow later being the leader]]]], of The Crows.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: Ryan is made acting CEO while Kate leaves the city. A former criminal who was just let out of prision for drug possession and only recent work experence is being a bartender. Sure enough, Wayne Enterprise's stock tanks and people quit in mass seeing it as a sinking ship.

The series initially focuses on Kate Kane (Creator/RubyRose), who returns to her hometown of Gotham after several years living overseas, being welcomed by her father and head of the Crows Security firm, Jacob (Dougray Scott), stepmother, Catherine Hamilton (Elizabeth Anweis), and stepsister, Mary (Creator/NicoleKang). By that point, Franchise/{{Batman}} has disappeared from Gotham for three years, after an incident involving him having to break his strict moral code, and the city is being threatened by the anarchist Wonderland Gang, led by Alice (Creator/RachelSkarsten). Although Kate dislikes Batman for not being able to save her mother and sister, her position softens once she finds out that Batman is actually her cousin, Bruce Wayne. Realizing that the city will forever be unsafe so long as it has no protector, Kate carries on Bruce's legacy by becoming Batwoman. She is assisted by Luke Fox (Creator/CamrusJohnson), son of Batman's late ally Lucius Fox, and Sophie Moore (Creator/MeaganTandy), her ex-girlfriend and member of the Crows Security, in her endeavor.

On May 19, 2020, Ruby Rose announced her departure from the series after the first season, forcing a mid-series {{Retool}}. The second season introduces Ryan Wilder (Creator/JaviciaLeslie), a homeless ex-junkie who discovers Kate's Batwoman costume after she disappears in a plane crash. Ryan, who has a grudge against Alice for apparently murdering her mother, temporarily dons the costume in her attempt to apprehend her, intending to return it to the Bat Team afterwards. However, as Kate remains missing in action, Ryan chooses to succeed her as Batwoman. To give her arc closure, Kate later returns for several episodes, with Creator/WallisDay replacing Rose in this capacity. The rest of the cast remain, though their dynamics are altered as they are no longer anchored by Kate's presence. In the third season, the Bat Team receive a new ally in Renee Montoya (Creator/VictoriaCartagena) [[note]]Fun fact: Cartagena also played Renee Montoya in ''Series/{{Gotham}}'', but the creators have denied that they are the same character.[[/note]], who answers to Gotham's mayor, while also delving into Ryan's past, as she learns that not only her mother, Jada Jet (Creator/RobinGivens), is still alive and heads a famous tech company, she also has a half-brother, Marquis (Nick Creegan).

After only 3 episodes into Season 2, The CW [[https://tvline.com/2021/02/03/cw-renewed-shows-2021-list-flash-riverdale-walker/ renewed]] the series for a third season.

* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Alice expected Kate to share her joy that Catherine is dead and Jacob framed for it, but just failed to understand that, no matter how Kate felt about her parents, she still didn't want either of them to suffer, particularly since Kate can recognise that Jacob didn't do anything wrong. Even Mouse calls Alice out on still believing that Kate will join her after everything she did.

* AdaptationNameChange: [[https://dc.fandom.com/wiki/Jezebel_Jet_(New_Earth) Jezebel Jet]] becomes Jada Jet in this adaptation. Both are rich black women, and have associated with the Black Glove society. The name change was most likely done to avoid the unfortunate implications of the term [[https://www.ferris.edu/jimcrow/jezebel/ jezebel]] when applied to black women.

** Wayne Enterprisers being a functioning company is itself one. The ''Elseworlds'' crossover, and Season 1, established it as being a shell of its former self, with the Board of Directors having abandoned ship years ago after Bruce Wayne's disappearance. In Season 3, the Board of Directors is shown to be very much active, and the company functions well enough for [[spoilers: Jada and Maquis Jet to have an interest in acquiring it.]]
