YMMV / Batwoman 2019 S 2 E 5 Gore On Canvas

Go To

  • Anvilicious: The episode's parallels with real world cases of Police Brutality are not at all subtle.
  • Crosses the Line Twice: The Joker's idea of modern art was to throw human guts at a canvas. His name for the resulting "artwork"? "Let It Out", another way of saying "spill your guts".
  • Informed Wrongness: After the Pike's suicide by Cyanide Pill, Ryan says "Kane pushed him too far", clearly feeling that Jacob's Jack Bauer Interrogation Technique led to what happened. However, the Pike only killed himself after accidentally letting slip that the painting was connected to Coryana, which he would likely have done if he'd said it under any circumstances, making the comment come off as confirmation bias on Ryan's part.
  • Narm: Wolf Spider drops from the ceiling into the gallery and swipes the Napier painting in front of literally everyone at the event, a process that takes several seconds. It's rather comical to watch everybody just stand there staring at him with nobody even trying to stop him the entire time. It isn't until after he actually takes the painting from it's canvas that the security start shooting.
  • Squick: The painting is the result of the Joker gutting some poor soul, then throwing gore and viscera at a canvas. Worse, Ryan touches the (mercifully dry) painting to get a sample for analysis.
