All 32 DC TV shows ranked from worst to best
17. Batwoman (2019 - 2022)
Batwoman had a lot to contend with throughout its short three-season run. The show was hampered by a number of issues early on, especially the departure of its lead Ruby Rose after just one season. However, it ultimately weathered that storm through the introduction of new character Ryan Wilder, as Javicia Leslie went on to become a star as the Scarlet Knight.
It told a lot of compelling stories throughout its run, particularly Ryan's ascent as the new Batwoman and the nuanced adaptation of the Alice character, who evolved from its primary villain into the Arrowverse's most fun anti-hero. Its action scenes were great too, with some epic fight choreography that often gets overlooked when the show is brought up.
Yes, Batwoman experienced far too much unrest in a short amount of time. The first season had promise but teething issues, the second was something of an awkward middle ground between two different shows as the show struggled to let go of its old lead while introducing a new one, and the third was one of the best seasons in the whole Arrowverse - something that made its premature cancellation all the more upsetting. But through its ups and downs, it was a major step forward for representation and a hidden gem in the world of superhero television - one that was led incredibly well by the phenomenal Javicia Leslie.
It really deserved that fourth season.
