The rest of the episode, while generally solid, was really quite simple and straightforward, choosing to focus on the mechanics of being the new Bat in town.
Even with Alice overshadowing all the other villains, Batwoman still delivered a strong fourth episode - one that left room for plenty of great one liners, which are quickly becoming part of this show's branding.
So, they're trying something different with Batwoman and that's not to say they're getting it ALL right but I, for one, am interested to see if the unfamiliar can fly.
This episode showed off the program's sense of humor in a way that reminds me a bit of comics Batwoman. More importantly, though, it helps to define the show's personality more clearly.
It's to the show's credit that she doesn't find an easy solution for any of this. Coming out of the closet isn't a one time thing, it's a lifelong process of consistently professing your sexuality or clarifying it in nearly every new situation.
Nothing is rushed, and all these issues don't suddenly pop up at once either. Both her and Luke are figuring things out as they go along. The batarang issue is a fun way to show that Luke and Kate are still getting all their ducks in a row.
If Batwoman is doing one thing well, it's not dragging out those kinds of plot points and moral conundrums. It's checking a lot of the superhero origin story boxes early on
