she looks hot

There is no denying she’s a beautiful woman, it’s the ridiculousness of the hair we are mainly talking about.
In real life it would just get in the way when chasing someone in tight spaces or can get snagged on things easier.
Never mind the fact that it’s easier to grab when in a fight with someone putting her at a disadvantage.
This has nothing to do with hairstyles but more a tactical vantage points.
This just looks like the CW is doubling down on a trash fire. The first iteration of Batwoman uber-sucked, and this version looks ridiculous. Put this crap out of its misery and let HBO take care of the DC shows from now on... And please keep the CW creators far, far away from any new DC productions.

well
thats how historically it is in the comics
Batgirl also lets it hang under the back of her mask
and pretty much every superhero wears a long ass cape that can be caught on things

Most capes serve a dual purpose like gliding/armored protection or just to look bigger and more menacing , the hair style adds nothing and does a bad job hiding here identity/
Your wrong saying pretty much ever superhero does.
Bruh, seriously? Who is going to discover Batman by his jaw?

That's my point! Dude is arguing that the new Batwoman will be easily identified because her mouth and jaw are visible...
As if everyone and their mom in Gotham knows who she is.
I got the impression he was criticizing her hair style

This is a show called "Batwoman"

He kept talking about how she'll be recognized by her hair and the cowl cut out and how her hair further signifies that she's a black woman and that somehow that will expose her identity.

I didn't even see this post... There aren't a lot of black women in Gotham? Really?

So you're telling me black women are considering a majority in Gotham City? Have you seen how Gotham city is portrayed? It's primarily white. It's easier to spot her out than Kate. The cowl is terrible in fact the entire costume is terrible. Even though I will admit the show did a terrible job at hiding Kate's identity as well but that's more on the plot than the actual suit although that looked bad as well. Like I said they're going out of their way to show you who she is.

Ok. I think I see what some were saying about the cowl... The lower part of the nose is exposed. I still wouldn't be able to put two and two together seeing her scowling as Batwoman and then her looking like a total beauty as Ryan Wilder.
Besides, the wig is blowing in the wind... You could tell she's black anyway with her skin. The Kate Kane wig would just look egregious (like it did in the test photos).

Black, white, man, woman, gay, straight...
....you can’t do anything about shitty writing.
This show will continue to be a trash fire.

I think the nose should be covered more and the cowl a little more closed in the sides like Batman's. A little adjustment.

aaand canceled after only 2 seasons with the new lead
This is the first show that The CW has canceled under 4 seasons since The Carrie Diaries (the Sex and the City prequel that no one watched).

I just didn't know who this show was for. Sometimes they try to hard to appeal to some fringe audience they turn off fans who would actually dig it. Oh well it was never a good idea.

It should be noted that this has not been cancelled because it had a black lesbian as the main character.
It was cancelled because the writing and acting were fucking abysmal. See also Doctor Who.

Is 'That Pure Potato'
I'd rather re-read the first several runs of the Batwoman comic, with that striking art style and noir writing. This was a poor show even by CW standards. I checked out after three episodes of season one. Gave s2 a chance but that was even worse from the word go.
