So, every ep from the pilot until now has been set in the past, probably by about half a year(?). I was assuming that by the time they hit the crossover that they would have caught up with the time frame of the other shows. But now I'm wondering if they are going to time-jump again.
It might be the case that
Batwoman’s timeline is somewhat… “elastic.”
The assumption is that Kate’s “Elseworlds” encounter occurred in the fall of 2018 (because that’s when the crossover aired). Therefore, the events of the
BW pilot had to have occurred several weeks earlier (at least). And subsequent events/episodes
seem to have transpired in more-or-less real time (no obvious jumps).
So, chronology question #1: When does
BW catch up to “Elseworlds”? Well, it’s
possible this already happened. Though, it’s maybe a bit odd that Kate hasn’t made even a passing/voiceover reference to her exploits with Green Arrow, Flash and Supergirl.
Chronology question #2: When does
BW catch up to “present day”? Indeed, there’s only one episode left before the “Crisis” crossover starts. And it might be a tad awkward to squeeze in a bunch of exposition that clarifies the timeline.
My guess (and I could be wrong) is that they’ll ignore both questions. Like I said: “elastic.”
- no family or friends that are really close, no large crew à la Team Flash or the DEO.
