Villainous items on the loose in the season 2 finale

Batwoman Season 2 was a wild ride from start to finish. It featured the introduction of a new Batwoman, Ryan Wilder, after Kate Kane’s plane mysteriously crashed. Her family and the public believed for a long time that she died in the crash. But the audience later learned that Black Mask abducted Kate. He then enlisted Enigma to brainwash her into thinking she was his daughter Circe.

In the Batwoman Season 2 finale, Alice stops Black Mask by spraying him with Joker’s acid-spraying flower. The police later send him to Arkham. As for Circe, aka Kate Kane, Ryan and Alice worked together to make her memories resurface.

The police arrested Alice and took her to Arkham, where Ryan visited her. Alice told the new Batwoman that her biological mother is still alive. Kate decided to leave Gotham. But before she left, Kate gave Ryan her blessing to continue being Batwoman. Batman’s collection of villainous items, including Poison Ivy’s plants and Penguin’s umbrella, are seen floating away down the river in the final scene. This ending will be the setup for Batwoman Season 3.

Killer Croc will appear in ‘Batwoman’ Season 3 Episode 2

Per ComicBook.com, The CW recently released a synopsis for Batwoman Season 3 Episode 2, “Loose Teeth.” It reads, “A BITING CHANCE – When a new incarnation of Gotham’s swamp slumming Killer Croc surfaces and starts racking up a body count, the inaugural team-up of Batwoman (Javicia Leslie) and Alice (Rachel Skarsten) is put to the test. But Alice isn’t the only unwanted intrusion into Ryan’s life when Jada Jet (Robin Givens) shows up at Wayne Enterprises, insisting on meeting the company’s new CEO. Luke (Camrus Johnson) and Mary’s (Nicole Kang) relationship is strained under the weight of a secret Luke is keeping, while Sophie (Meagan Tandy) finds herself becoming part of Ryan’s inner circle. Jeff Hunt directed the episode written by Chad Fiveash and James Stoteraux.”

It’s safe to say that Killer Croc’s teeth were among the villainous items in the river. And perhaps that’s how a new Killer Croc will come to be. A random person might take an innocent swim in the water and end up becoming the next Killer Croc. Whatever the case may be, it will be epic to see Ryan face off against Killer Croc in Batwoman Season 3.
