Batwoman Fights a Major Foe in Rule #1 Synopsis
✖
Batwoman s second season has taken some pretty fascinating twists and turns, as it simultaneously builds the origin story of Ryan Wilder (Javicia Leslie) and deals with the existing canon surrounding the disappearance of Kate Kane (Ruby Rose). Recent plot threads have indicated that both of those storylines are going to collide and now we have our first indication of what that might mean. On Thursday, The CW released a new synopsis for Rule #1 , the ninth episode of
Batwoman s second season. The synopsis, which you can check out below, hints at Ryan going up against Gotham s biggest foe , as well as some major new developments in the circumstances surrounding Kate s disappearance.
From the NS archive: Report on Mau Mau 23 January 1954: A brutal uprising in Kenya.
By RHS Crossman
The Labour politician Dick Crossman was in Kenya to gather information about the Mau Mau rebellion. The uprising was an attempt by a loose coalition of indigenous tribes to overthrow British rule and was marked by vicious atrocities and reprisals. Crossman found a fractured response by the British authorities and local defence forces under their control. Too many Home Guard troops and reservists were unreliable, too few British commanders understood the Kikuyu people or spoke the local languages. Repression seemed a blunt and counterproductive influence. White Kenya “can only save itself from destruction”, thought Crossman, “by abdicating its privileges while there is still time.”
