Comments
been wondering why more shows haven’t switched to animation to continue. not surprised that odat had the creativity/bravery to go first (be among the first?).
Wow this is great about Gentefied!! I was not optimistic due to Netflix’s history with Latine shows.
“Janelle Monáe’s voice flows like a sound bath calibrated to induce hypnosis.” Whew if this isn’t accurate
I wanna subscribe to GagaOOLala just because of the name
So far, Ali Liebert gets my vote to replace Ruby.
Yay more Gentefied!
I am so hype for this ODAAT animated special
My pals, may I present to you your Batwoman, Katy O’Brien: https://twitter.com/thekatyo/status/1263283758192418816
She’s perfect! My choice as well!
No shade on Ruby Rose, but I love that the Batwoman vacancy has inspired a contingent of hot queers to show off their muscle flexing skills and I for one am ok if it continues a little longer

Damn, she is definitely in the top two contenders along with Wallis Day.
A few factors, Wallis Day looks more similar to Ruby Rose, Katy is of the charts with the butch vibes though *tries to repress drool*.
The only obstacle could be that she is playing a character in Black Lightning already which shouldn’t be a problem if WB/CW is set on her as Batwoman, but could factor in if its between her and another candidate.
I’m only on episode two but I ADORE IT SO MUCH. I’m sad that Ruby won’t be there but Stephanie would be so good.
Also I’d love Lindsey Morgan as Batwoman too. 💙
