Batwomanis about to go down the rabbit hole and into Alices past.
Given the woman Alice is in the present, its definitely fair to say her backstory dark and creepy.
[The audience] can expect to be horrified, Skarsten tells EW.

I know it was a surprise to me as well.
[Showrunner] Caroline [Dries] didnt really go into it much [beforehand].
The trauma that occurs is that which even I, who enjoy crime podcasts, could not have imagined.
I think I was actually like, Yes!
which sounds messed up, but Ill explain, she says.
Wanting to reunite with her sister is one of Alices more sympathetic characteristics.
Obviously, thats not as easy as it sounds because Kate is, well, Batwoman.
I dont think that she actually views Kate herself as an enemy in any regard.
She has this deep and unbridled love for Kate.
Seeing as howBatwomanwas recently picked up for a full season, this is probably just the beginning.
