Holy diversity Batman!
‘Batwoman’ premieres on CW
By Breanna Henry TV MediaImay or may not own an overflowing stack of comic books that’s getting dangerously close to weighing more than its current shelf can handle, so it’s safe to trust me when I say that Batwoman, a.k.a. Kate Kane, is a fantastic character with a ton of incredible story potential.
As someone who’s already a fan, I’m very interested to see how CW’s “Batwoman” recreates, reimagines or reinvents the title character, and luckily I won’t have to wait long. With the beautifully androgynous Ruby
credits include a few less-than-stellar films.
Rose’s castmate Skarsten is no stranger to caped crusaders. The Toronto native played the superscreeching Black Canary in “Birds of Prey” on the WB at just 16 years old.
Joining the two lead females are Dougray Scott (“Departure”) as Batwoman’s father, Jacob, Elizabeth Anweis (“NCIS: Los Angeles”) as her stepmother, Catherine, and Sam Littlefield (“The Messengers”) as Mouse. The cast looks fantastic, the trailers seem cool, and it seems hard to go wrong when you have such great source material with which to
The fact that Skarsten has been cast as the “Through the Looking
2010 Batwoman comic “Elegy” by Greg Rucka probably know what to expect from Batwoman and Alice’s on-screen relationship. For those not familiar with Rucka’s work, just know that you’re in for some of the “Batwoman” comic books’ most outrageous, unexpected and disturbing twists and turns. The psychedelic imagery and mind-warping colors for which the comic is known don’t seem to have been carried over to the new TV series, but other such DC Comics television programs (“Arrow,” “The Flash,” “Supergirl,” “Titans,” etc.) really seem to love dark, gritty and grey post-processing, and the look feels right for the city of Gotham. Still, fans likely hope the show will attempt to pay some homage to the source material with a bit of outlandish cinematogra-
It’s already become a topic of conversation when it comes to this series, so it’s worth mentioning that both Batwoman and the woman who plays her on TV are gay. Somewhat comically
Late Laughs
The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon
Apple was caught breaking a Chinese labor law to build its latest iPhone. People in China were shocked, they were like, “Wait, we have labor laws?”
and incredibly ironically, the original Batwoman (Kathy, not Kate) was introduced way back in 1956 solely to discourage a controversy that arose in the previous year regarding Batman’s own perceived homosexuality. After the Batwoman character was written out of the DC Universe in 1964, editors refused to bring her back despite demand from readers, calling her a “hapless female” who would be “gone for good.”
It wasn’t until 2006, 50 years post-debut, that DC announced Batwoman’s rebirth. In addition to swapping the old-fashioned name Kathy for the more modern Kate, editors revealed that today’s Batwoman would be a Jewish lesbian. Far from the lipstick-toting Batmaniac she was in the 1960s, Kate Kane was a directionless party girl, lost in life after being discharged from the military under the don’t ask, don’t tell policy that discouraged homosexual service members. Whether it was the murder of her mother, the loss of her partner, the thrill of breaking some bad-guy bones, or Batman himself, we may never know why Kate was inspired to put
Tonight was the third Democratic debate, and I read that all the candidates were warned not to swear at the debate — it got weird when Bernie was like “what about nudity?”

Last night, the president had a warning about those godless Democrats — now I happen to know a lot of Democrats who are religious but I will admit, when they see you on TV they mumble, “There is no God.”

Trump called John Legend a “boring musician” and called Chrissy Teigen a “filthy-mouthed wife.” In other news, Melania’s campaign against cyberbullying is still going strong.

Haunted homes: ‘Showdown’ proves gingerbread isn’t just for Christmas
By Michelle Rose TV MediaWith less than four weeks left until Halloween, now is the time when you’ll see homes decked out in Halloween decor that ranges from playful to downright chilling — like the giant, glowing inflatable spider that’s propped up outside my home improvement store. Terrifying.
Arachnophobia aside, Halloween decorations are a great opportunity to let your imagination run wild. And one of the more recent seasonal trends is about putting a spooky spin on a wellknown Christmas tradition: a gingerbread house. A haunted gingerbread house is the perfect Fright Night centerpiece, whether you’re hosting a party or just displaying it on the front table next to your Halloween handouts. And if you’re looking for inspiration, look no further than Food Network’s “Haunted Gingerbread Showdown,” which kicks off a new season this Sunday, Oct. 6.
The series premiered last year and the concept proved to be a hit. Now it’s back for a second season, with the affable Clinton Kelly taking over hosting duties from Sandra Lee.
Nine new gingerbread artists — three per weekly episode — are hoping to wow the judges with their over-the-top, nightmare-inducing gingerbread creations. And it isn’t just a question of slapping
together four walls and a roof and then decorating it with candy corn (although there’s art in that, too). We’re talking theme parks and haunted forests and — spoiler alert if you plan to watch Season 1 — even a haunted lighthouse, which was created by Season 1 winner Steve Konopelski.
Season 2 judges Jamika Pessoa, Gesine Prado and Jason Smith will determine the winner
each week. Those three finalists will advance to the fourth and final episode, which is a winnertake-all finale in which one person will win the $25,000 grand prize and a feature in Food Network Magazine.
It’s always fun to see how far bakers will go to push or blur the boundaries that separate food from art. And that’s what “Haunted Gingerbread Showdown” delivers.
But if you’re looking to make your own haunted gingerbread house, some stores sell pre-built kits that will take care of the structural details. You just need to assemble it and jump right in with the fun decorations.
If you have more time and you’re more of a do-it-yourself baker, you can find printable templates to bake your own gingerbread house on foodnetwork. com. You’ll also find pumpkin carving tips, pre-trick-or-treating meal ideas (such as Mac-O-Lantern and Cheese Bowls) and Halloween treats that run the gamut from classic candy corn to spidershaped … to, well, everything.

her apathetic boyfriend, Christian (Reynor), to a once-in-a-lifetime midsummer celebration thrown by their friend Pelle’s (Blomgren) ancestral community in Sweden. Arriving in Sweden with their friends Mark (Poulter) and Josh (Harper), they meet up with another couple, Simon (Madekwe) and Connie
(Torchia). After bearing witness to several disturbing events, the tourists quickly realize the historic celebration is not all they envisioned.
