Now Available to Own on DVD and Blu-Ray -- BATWOMAN: THE COMPLETE FIRST SEASON (Review)

Disclosure: Warner Bros. Home Entertainment provided me with a free copy of the Blu-ray I reviewed in this blog post.  The opinions I share are my own.




The CW’s #1 New Show



Contains All 20 Exhilarating Episodes from the First Season,
Plus All-New Special Features!

Available NOW on Blu-ray™ & DVD August 18, 2020

Blu-ray includes a Limited-Edition Bonus Disc
with All Five Episodes of the DC Crossover Event
Crisis on Infinite Earths and 6 Crossover Bonus Features!

Thanks to the folks at Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, I have a new favorite television series that I am hooked on, and that I spent the past week binge watching all 20 episodes from the first season.  If you haven't watched Batwoman: The Complete First Season which airs on CW, you have been missing out.  I was in search of a new series to watch and right when I was about to give up as I couldn't find anything that caught my eye or attention, I was sent the Batwoman: The Complete First Season, which arrives today on Blu-ray, DVD and Digital for review.  I have to say that I was not even aware of this series or that CW was turning out new shows, until a recent email came through announcing this Warner Bros. Home Entertainment release, but once I started to watch the first episode, I was hooked.

In addition to all 20 full length episodes from the first season, the new Blu-Ray and DVD releases also contain some great bonus content including an on the set featurette, deleted scenes and a laugh out loud gag reel, as well as "The Best of DC TV's Comic-Con Panels San Diego 2019."  As soon as I was done watching all 20 episodes, I watched all the bonus content and loved them all, especially the deleted scenes.  Too bad the next season of Batwoman doesn't start until January 2021, as I can't wait to see what happens next.  I guess I will just have to binge the first season again as the new year and new season approaches. But, in the meantime, I am trying to get my family and friends hooked on the series so that we can talk about our favorite parts and characters. :-)

If you are looking for a new series to get hooked on and love Batwoman or DC, then I highly recommend you picking up the new Batwoman: The Complete First Season, available now on DVD, Blu-ray and Digital from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment. You're going to love it!
