No Season 4 for the superhero drama.
April 29, 2022
Word is out that Batwoman has been cancelled by The CW after three seasons. Showrunner Caroline Dries took to Twitter with the news, which comes just under two months after the drama wrapped its most-recent season, which at 13 episodes was the lowest count of its run. The show did manage to hit the 50-episode mark in its penultimate episode.
Set in the same universe as The CW's other superhero shows, Batwoman takes place years after Batman mysteriously disappeared from Gotham, leaving the city to fall into despair. Original star Ruby Rose departed the series after Season 1, with Javicia Leslie taking over as the new lead, playing an undisciplined fighter who becomes the new Batwoman after find the batsuit in the wreckage of a plane crash.

They could have signed her to a longer contract, then she couldn't leave. Who signs a lead for one season? So irresponsible.
I have other issues with the show, but rather than type them all out again, I feel it is appropriate to copy/paste a comment I made in the 'Renewed for Season 2' news feed of this show (exact title 'The CW Renews 'Batwoman').
Here goes....

Dumb show, dumber premise. The whole female versions of male superheroes thing is beyond stupid. Now before ya'll "woke" peeps jump on The Plopster, let me explain. I am fine with female superheroes. Give us more! But give them their own gimmicks. Characters like Super Girl, Bat Woman, Spider Girl, She-Hulk, Red She-Hulk (yeah even Red She-Hulk is a thing) are all actually an insult to women. Its like saying "women aren't worth the time to come up with new ideas for, so we will give them the same gimmick as an existing man hero. Really? Characters like Wonder Woman, Storm, Jean Grey, Cat Woman and others with original gimmicks are awesome. Give us more of those. Squirrel Girl can be a show.. I know that's Marvel and not DC, but you get the point.
