Considering the horrible ratings and how the series was ripped online from the get go, I am surprised there is even another season.

Ah ah ahaa. Today a dog that thinks it’s a cat
can have the role too if it want’s to take it to court.

Coming soon Batblack Womyn! The Black Wombat strikes!

I am so sick of all this crap, maybe they should get
Jackie Chan to play batrooman!

Yeah - wasn’t Eartha Kitt considered black?

Not that it matters to me so long as she’s hot.

Although in all fairness and to be properly woke they need to put trans woman there.

Thankfully, my TV viewing is down to very little, so this does not impact me (directly). If it weren’t for my wife, I would have cancelled TV service several years ago.

She’s guilty of catural appropriation.
