Batwoman 1x07 Kate and Julia actually have more chemistry than Kate and Sophie As Batwoman attempts to thwart the Rifle again, she ends up in a fight with a mysterious female fighter who turns out to be… Julia Pennyworth, who is also hunting the Rifle. The women focusing on fighting each other instead of the Rifle allows him to get away. But that’s okay because it means we get to learn that the infamous Alfred’s daughter has an exciting (read: romantic) connection to Kate. And she wants to team up with Kate (and Luke, who’s excited to see her in the Batcave, which might be the most surprising thing of all). The backstory: Julia was sent by Bruce to check up on Kate after she was expelled from the military academy and dumped by Sophie. Julia had lied about being a krav maga teacher to get close to Kate, they had a fling, and when Kate found out the truth she got upset that Julia was lying about her intentions, thinking everything was fake. And in just one scene, Kate and Julia actually have more chemistry than Kate and Sophie have had all season. It’s the same issue that plagued season 1 of Arrow when Oliver and Laurel failed to capture that ineffable spark necessary for love interests to work. It can’t be faked or forced. Can we start a petition to get Julia on the show full-time?
