If Beware the Batman got a second season, I'd probably want to have it be split in half. The same way that Season One had the Ra's al Ghul storyline and then they had the Harvey Dent and Deathstroke storyline, I think Season Two should do something similar. Assuming Season Two gets 26 episodes, the same way season one did, I think Harvey Dent can be the main villain of part one. He clearly wasn't done with his plans to take over Gotham. That pompous jerk of a Two-Face incarnation has to return.

But Season Two can't begin with him. I think a good season opener would involve Simon Stagg and Sapphire Stagg, who've both become pretty irredeemable. Over the course of a couple episodes in the first half of the season, Metamorpho learns that Sapphire isn't the woman he first fell in love with. And Simon Stagg begins supplying money to a project designed to create a new element being, one who can take down Batman and Metamorpho. That storyline would run through a couple episodes, but it'd end with Simon Stagg and Sapphire Stagg both in jail this time.

Some other villians would pop up in the first half of Season Two, of course. But the big plotline involves a recalled mayoral election that's taking place in gotham. Nobody pays any attention to the election, and the whole first half of the season we'd be deliberately underselling it. But the two leading candidates in the election are both puppets of Two-Face. Two candidates backed by his two personalities, but he'll win no matter the result. So while Batman and The Outsiders deal with a full slate of villians, Two-Face is orchestrating his grand return to public service.

In the end, our big finale would come when Two-Face has the new mayor resign and hand over massive power to him at gunpoint, allowing him to come in and rewrite all the laws on the books. Gotham becomes a town of multiplicity. On one side of the city, everything is polished and pristine, but hiding a cruel veneer. It's a police state, basically. But on the other side, rampant violence and lawlessness runs wild. That side has no police whatsoever. Two cities in one, the same way there's two minds in harvey dent's body. The only problem? Neither mind is any better than the other.

So Harvey's unstable madness drives Gotham to ruin. But Batman gets trapped in the lawless part of town, surrounded on all sides by his old enemies. Meanwhile, Katana and the others are stuck in the police state side of things, forced into dealing with Mayor Dent's reign of terror. This allows for me to introduce the only robin who might be possible in this dark and moody of a show: Jason Todd. Batman gets saved from the mob by Jason, and then the two of them sort of begin leaning on each other to survive. Jason has no parents by the time Bruce meets him, so they already have something in common there. A sense of mutual loss. But because Jason helps Bruce stop Two-Face, he ends up becoming Robin (or something approximating that).

So yeah. Part One of Season Two is all about Two-Face's reign of terror, as well as the growth as a team of The Outsiders. And part one does end with some positive notes. But the negatives are what help lead into the second part of the season. Namely, the fact that Two-Face destroyed city regulations so much that organized crime is pretty much the only major point of authority on the east side of town. In the west, things are sort of stable. But the tenuous hold on power is what all too easily allows certain new criminals to sneak into Gotham. Criminals like the Penguin, who becomes the main villian for the second half of the season.

So like I really couldn’t tell that that was supposed to be Metamorpho and his son Joey because they look so different and I think they should’ve just made Joey look kinda like he looks in the comics or make him look like a baby with weird vitiligo instead of a knockoff baby yoda

And I don’t really remember if they mentioned how they captured the two but it would be neat if Simon Stagg basically sold the two to Luthor simply because he doesn’t want Metamorpho with his daughter.

And I wish we got to see more of Sapphire Stagg.

February–March 1965. As seen in these panels from Metamorpho's second appearance in THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD #58, Rex Mason's girlfriend Sapphire Stagg made clear almost from the start that she was totally down with his transformation into a bizarre "walking chemistry set."

And Chapter 3 of Through Shuttered Windows is up!! Of course, still warnings for Superman (2025) spoilers, but I'm really really proud of how this chapter came out!! Great plot progression, but also a lot of great character building for Merit and how he and Rex grew up together

Enjoy!
