The CW's Batwoman and Legends of Tomorrow's cancelations are a major loss of LGBTQ+ representation for network television

The Mary Sue

"The cancellation of both series dramatically decreases the representation of queer women, and queer women of color especially, on the network," says Chelsea Steiner. "And it leaves so much unresolved, as both series ended on cliffhangers. There’s a chance we may see these characters pop up in other Arrowverse shows or crossover events, but it’s a bitter pill to lose such impactful series. Ultimately, these cancellations may be due to higher up decisions at WarnerMedia and ViacomCBS, which are currently trying to sell the CW. Depending on the outcome of the potential sale, many more series could wind up on the chopping block."
