Ruby Rose is Batwoman in the CW’s Groundbreaking new Series
We were cautiously optimistic when we heard that the CW was creating a Batwoman series based on the DC comics character Kate Kane. Now that we know Ruby Rose will be starring as the greatest Gotham hero not named Batman, we’re thrilled. The series isn’t 100% confirmed—first, Rose will be appearing in the networks’ annual Arrow-verse crossover event in December. If the introduction excites fans as much as the mere notion is exciting us, then the CW could be green lighting a Batwoman series for the 2019-2020 season.

Legion Season 3 is in the Works, and it’s Only Getting Darker
The season finale of FX and Marvel’s Series Legion saw its protagonist, David, hit low points that only someone like Walter White would understand. And his downward spiral won’t be turning upward soon.
Dan Stevens’ David Haller, a mutant with psychic powers from the X-Men universe, has always been an antihero. He acts immorally because his grip on reality is shaky at best, and the Marvel comics more explicitly identify the multiple personalities—a legion of them—in his head.

Chloë Sevigny Sheds a New Light on Famous Axe Murderer, Lizzie
Reduced to a caricature in a gory nursery rhyme, Chloë Sevigny is taking a closer look at Lizzie Borden’s motive for murder. Often perceived to be a cold-blooded killer, Lizzie take a big picture look at the events leading up to the crime. Sevigny’s passion project premiered earlier this year at Sundance, and the first trailer finally gives us a look at the gripping drama.
Lizzie strikes me as a similar approach to Sofia Coppola’s feminist retelling of The Beguiled last year.
