- DirectorCate ShortlandStarsScarlett JohanssonFlorence PughDavid HarbourNatasha Romanoff confronts the darker parts of her ledger when a dangerous conspiracy with ties to her past arises."Use Natasha as inspiration for Kate - with Nat & Yelena relationship inspiration for Kate & Beth and have this film match the themes & styles of the trilogy. Opening flashback scene has also given me some idea of how I could use my own flashback scenes of what happened to Kate & Beth."
- DirectorPascal LaugierStarsCrystal ReedMylène FarmerAnastasia PhillipsA mother of two who inherits a house is confronted with murderous intruders on the first night in their new home and fights for her daughters' lives. Sixteen years later when the daughters reunite at the house, things get really strange."Key plot points could be used for the third movie (or even season - if I want to make a HBO Max Series)."
- CreatorPhoebe Waller-BridgeStarsJodie ComerSandra OhFiona ShawAfter a series of events, the lives of a security operative and an assassin become inextricably linked."This show could also help me understand what kind of style of dark, thrilling and maybe a bit of comedy and try to make it look cringy. I could also use Villanelle as a slight inspiration of how I could protray Alice."
- DirectorRebecca SugarJoseph D. JohnstonKat MorrisStarsZach CallisonMichaela DietzEstelleSteven thinks his time defending the Earth is over, but when a new threat comes to Beach City, Steven faces his biggest challenge yet."The Spinel character, arc and backstory will DEFINITELY be used for my inspiration of how I want Alice to be protrayed in the second movie & a bit of the third movie for Batwoman."
- DirectorGuillermo del ToroStarsSally HawkinsOctavia SpencerMichael ShannonAt a top secret research facility in the 1960s, a lonely janitor forms a unique relationship with an amphibious creature that is being held in captivity."Could use elements of the Richard Strickland (Michael Shannon's character) as a slight inspiration of how I want Black Mask to be protrayed in the first Batwoman movie. Since I think I want him to be the main villain in the first part and save Alice for later."
- DirectorJay OlivaStarsJason O'MaraYvonne StrahovskiStuart AllanBruce Wayne is missing. Alfred covers for him while Nightwing and Robin patrol Gotham City in his stead. And a new player, Batwoman, investigates Batman's disappearance."Inspiration for what Kate and Jacob are like as characters and see what slight changes I could make in my own interpretation."
- DirectorChristopher NolanStarsChristian BaleMichael CaineKen WatanabeAfter witnessing his parents' death, Bruce learns the art of fighting to confront injustice. When he returns to Gotham as Batman, he must stop a secret society that intends to destroy the city."Inspiration for how I use elements for my own Bruce Wayne and how he acts in the flashback scenes. Also use flashback set-ups in this movie and make them blend into the story for all three Batwoman movies."
- DirectorMatt ReevesStarsRobert PattinsonZoë KravitzJeffrey WrightWhen a sadistic serial killer begins murdering key political figures in Gotham, Batman is forced to investigate the city's hidden corruption and question his family's involvement."Inspiration for the theme and style I want my own Gotham to look like with all of the different criminals and corrupt people. Also make my own Gotham look like a combination with a bunch of others, but try to still make it my own world."
- StarsHailee SteinfeldKevin AlejandroJason SpisakSet in Utopian Piltover and the oppressed underground of Zaun, the story follows the origins of two iconic League Of Legends champions and the power that will tear them apart."Inspiration of the similar world I want my Gotham to look like and even how I want a lot of the characters to be like in my Batwoman trilogy. Specifically Vi and Jinx relationships, personalities and even bits of story-arc - mainly for the Second Batwoman movie."
- DirectorShinsuke TerasawaStarsElizabeth GilliesStephanie BeatrizJonathan BanksFollows Catwoman in an attempt to steal a priceless jewel. This puts her squarely in the crosshairs of both a powerful consortium of villains, Interpol and Batwoman."Possible inspiration of what I could include for the story in the first movie/season, how Batwoman & Black Mask are protrayed (what I could keep and change for my own versions) and even how Catwoman is protrayed (if I want to include her in someway or form in my Batwoman franchise)."
- DirectorDestin Daniel CrettonStarsSimu LiuAwkwafinaTony Leung Chiu-waiShang-Chi, the master of weaponry-based Kung Fu, is forced to confront his past after being drawn into the Ten Rings organization."Inspiration for how to blend flashbacks into the main story."
- StarsJeremy RennerHailee SteinfeldFlorence PughSeries based on the Marvel Comics superhero Hawkeye, centering on the adventures of Young Avenger, Kate Bishop, who took on the role after the original Avenger, Clint Barton."Inspiration for key plot-points I could possibly use - especially having Kate Bishop as inspiration for Kate Kane. Also use bits from other characters as my own characters."
- DirectorRhys ThomasStarsJeremy RennerHailee SteinfeldVera FarmigaArcher Kate Bishop lands in the middle of a criminal conspiracy, forcing Hawkeye out of retirement."If I decided to go the movie route, I could show a flashback of Kate's tragic story and show a montage of the skills & abilities she will need in the future (but still have more flashbacks of what happened in Kate Kane's life). I could also use the relationship between Kate Bishop and her mother as inspiration for Kate Kane, her Dad (Jacob) and her stepmother (Catherine Hamilton) in the first part in the first story, but eventually come to accept Kate becoming a vigilante and even help her with her journey."

- CreatorStephen TolkinKenneth BillerStarsCraig HornerBridget ReganBruce SpenceAfter the mysterious murder of his father, a son's search for answers begins a momentous fight against tyranny."Some of these characters I believe could be used as interesting for the main villains in the third movie, specifically Safiah and Tatina. It could show how exactly how I want the characters to be protrayed and how they act & sound in 'Batwoman 3'."
- CreatorMatt BosackJan NashChristopher SilberStarsVanessa LacheyAlex TarrantNoah MillsFollow a team of Naval criminal investigators who operate on the Hawaiian islands."This show could be used as inspiration for some of the character dynamics and especially the relation & chemistry between specific characters. For instances, I believe Kate & Lucy's relationship could be used as inspiration for certain parts I might want Kate and Sophie's relationship in the first and second movie."

For the second project (mostly for a TV Show season). Except I'm aiming for a "Father"&"Daughter" relationship, instead of a romantic relationship.
- DirectorAlice WaddingtonStarsEmma RobertsDanielle MacdonaldAwkwafinaUma is a young woman who wakes up in an apparently idyllic reform school for young ladies. But a dark secret lies within its walls.This movie is mainly inspiration for the third project in my Batwoman Saga, for how Coryana looks when Kate and Beth see the island (separate occasions and different original POVs).
...(Watch the movie properly) - DirectorMatthew VaughnStarsRalph FiennesGemma ArtertonRhys IfansIn the early years of the 20th century, the Kingsman agency is formed to stand against a cabal plotting a war to wipe out millions.Orlando and Conrad's relationship throughout the film will be used as inspiration for how I would like Jacob and Kate's relationship to be shown in the first project (maybe a bit during the second one). However, I will make a MAJOR change about how this dynamic ended in the film.
- DirectorAdil El ArbiBilall FallahStarsBrendan FraserJ.K. SimmonsMichael KeatonBased upon the popular DC character, Barbara Gordon dons the guise of Batgirl to fight crime."Cancelled project that I could of used inspiration for Kate and Bruce's dynamic in the first project. Where Kate is the inexperienced vigilante and Bruce being the mentor figure of how to fight against criminals. Similar to what Leslie Grace's Batgirl and Michael Keaton's Batman dynamic would have looked like in this movie."
- CreatorMitchell BurgessRobin GreenStarsDonnie WahlbergBridget MoynahanWill EstesRevolves around a family of New York cops.This show could be inspiration for the Police dynamic at the GCPD and ideas for my own character arcs I want to include. Some episodes that focus on Danny Regan I will use as inspiration for how I could include Harvey Bullock. Especially since Danny will be my main inspiration for Harvey and help show the many sides of the character in Batwoman.
- DirectorMichael CuestaStarsDonnie WahlbergBridget MoynahanWill EstesJamie becomes a New York police officer, like four other men in his family.

- DirectorMary HarronStarsChristian BaleJustin TherouxJosh LucasA wealthy New York City investment banking executive, Patrick Bateman, hides his alternate psychopathic ego from his co-workers and friends as he delves deeper into his violent, hedonistic fantasies."This movie could be used as inspiration for how I want Roman Sionis to be protrayed in the first movie by using Patrick Bateman for elements and traits for Black Mask."
- DirectorNick CassavetesStarsGena RowlandsJames GarnerRachel McAdamsAn elderly man reads to a woman with dementia the story of two young lovers whose romance is threatened by the difference in their respective social classes."I think I could use some specific parts between Allie and Noah for Kate and Sophie.

Danny, hunting for a petty thief, gets a tip which helps resolve one of his unsolved cases.

- DirectorPascal CharrueArnaud DelordStarsKevin AlejandroShohreh AghdashlooJB BlancOrphaned sisters Vi and Powder bring trouble to Zaun's underground streets in the wake of a heist in posh Piltover."Arcane will be one of the main inspiration for my story in this trilogy, but will try to make it it's own story. This episode shows how I could make this world inspiration for my own Gotham and how I can try to make it my own world. This is also inspiration for how I can show what Kate and Beth were like when they were young with how Vi and Powder are like. Kate will be strong & independent (which is what Vi was like) and have Beth be smart & a bit shy (which is EXACTLY what Powder was like). I can also use Vandor a small elements for how I want Jacob to like as a father in the flashback scenes."
- DirectorPascal CharrueArnaud DelordStarsShohreh AghdashlooKevin AlejandroKrizia BajosIdealistic inventor Jayce attempts to harness magic through science --- despite his mentor's warning. Criminal kingpin Silco tests a powerful substance."This episode of Arcane has given me some more ideas how I want a couple more characters I want to use and how they could be protrayed. Specifically have Caitlin as inspiration for Sophie, Jayce as abit of inspiration for the friendly side of Luke Fox and Bolbok will be used as inspiration for the caring & father side of Jacob Kane (Kate's Dad), but has a dark past he doesn't like to talk about."
- DirectorPascal CharrueArnaud DelordStarsKevin AlejandroJB BlancRobin Atkin DownesWith Piltover prospering from their tech, Jayce and Viktor weigh their next move. A familiar face re-emerges from Zaun to wreak havoc."Jinx is DEFINITELY going to be one of the main inspiration for how I want to present Alice in the second movie. I also believe Jinx and Silco's relationship could also be used to inspire Alice and Mad-Hatters father-daughter relationship, since it shows hiw much these 2 people care about each other."
- DirectorPascal CharrueArnaud DelordStarsShohreh AghdashlooKevin AlejandroKimberly BrooksRogue enforcer Caitlyn tours the undercity alongside Vi to track down Silco. Jayce puts a target on his back trying to root out Piltover corruption."Inspiration for how I could do Kate and Sophie's relationship while slowly building up the chemistry and showing how well they work as a team."
- DirectorPascal CharrueArnaud DelordStarsKevin AlejandroJB BlancEdan HayhurstAn eager protege undermines his mentor on the council as a magical tech rapidly evolves. With authorities in pursuit, Jinx must face her past."Inspiration for how I could do the shift between Kate and Alice with what happens between Vi and Jinx."
- DirectorPascal CharrueArnaud DelordStarsKevin AlejandroRemy HiiMia Sinclair JennessCaitlyn and Vi meet an ally in Zaun's streets and head into a frenzied battle with a common foe. Viktor makes a dire decision."Inspiration for how I could do dynamic between Kate and Luke, similar to the friendly relationship between Vi and Ekko. Both Jayce and Ekko have clear motivation and are both smart and strong characters. So both of them could used as inspiration for how I could do Luke and how he eventually becomes Batwing."
- DirectorPascal CharrueArnaud DelordStarsKevin AlejandroJB BlancKimberly BrooksPerilously close to war, the leaders of Piltover and Zaun reach an ultimatum. But a fateful standoff changes both cities forever."Inspiration from Silco about how I could show how Black Mask controls Gotham City and how the other criminals fear him. Jinx's breakdown in the 'Tea Party' scene, I could use to show the struggle between Beth and Alice, but try for her to go the other direction."
- CreatorChris PrynoskiCritical RoleStarsLaura BaileyTaliesin JaffeAshley JohnsonAfter saving the realm from evil and destruction at the hands of the most terrifying power couple in Exandria, Vox Machina is faced with saving the world once again-this time, from a sinister group of dragons known as the Chroma Conclave.*Forgot to add to original list, definitely had ideas what I could do for certain parts in my Batwoman story.
- DirectorSung Jin AhnYoung HellerStarsLaura BaileyTaliesin JaffeAshley JohnsonScanlan volunteers to infiltrate Duke Vedmire's mansion as a distraction while Vox Machina attempts to rescue Percy's sister Cassandra."Inspiration for how Percy is a little bit like Kate for how they both are protective for thir sisters (Cassandra and Beth). It also showed I could so much in one flashback scene and then have a shocking revelation by the end of the episode. For instances, Cassandra represents the innocent side of Beth and if she gets badly injured with a life-threatening situation for Kate."
- DirectorSung Jin AhnAlicia ChanStarsLaura BaileyTaliesin JaffeAshley JohnsonVox Machina battles the vicious Professor Anders and his unique magical abilities, while Delilah Briarwood uses magic to summon a demonic army to rise against our heroes. Meanwhile, Pike searches for a way to reconnect with her deity, even if it means risking her life."Inspiration for I could show the connection with Kate and Beth similar to Percy and Cassandra. How Kate feels guilty for not saving Beth, but able to try to save her from her Alice split-personality in the second film (or season)."
- 2022– 24mTV-MA9.2 (1.9K)TV EpisodeDirectorAlicia ChanSung Jin AhnStarsLaura BaileyTaliesin JaffeAshley JohnsonVex and Percy try to save their siblings, but their best efforts may not be enough as the Briarwoods near completion of their secret ritual."Inspiration for another way I could protray Beth/Alice by having her being controlled by Mad Hatter - like what happened to Cassandra being controlled and manipulated by the Briarwoods. Then as Cassandra fight during this battle, she starts to realise what is going on and remembers the happy moments with her & Percy. Which something I could DEFINITELY do for Beth in the third movie/season in my Batwoman story."
- DirectorStanley Von MedveySung Jin AhnStarsLaura BaileyTaliesin JaffeAshley JohnsonVox Machina has stopped the Briarwoods evil ritual but at a heavy cost. As they flee the Ziggurat to save one of their own, Percy is eager to take revenge on their prisoner, Delilah Briarwood."Inspiration for ideas I already had about how unstable Alice is - which is similar to what happens to Percy in this episode. Even had an idea with Jacob standing in front of Alice as she hesitates to kill someone (most likely Kate in her torn Batwoman suit or Catherine believing she covered up her "death"). Only for her to struggle with her weapons and tries to kill herself while her dark persona tell Beth to kill them. Thankfully, like with what happens to Percy, she manages to overcome her dark self and lets go of the temptation."
- DirectorLiesl TommyStarsJennifer HudsonForest WhitakerMarlon WayansFollowing the rise of Aretha Franklin's career from a child singing in her father's church's choir to her international superstardom, RESPECT is the remarkable true story of the music icon's journey to find her voice."Inspiration for how I could represent how I might represents Kate's inner struggles - which are similar to Aretha's. In the film (specifcally the Third Act), Aretha is still struggling with her deep depression and copes with constant alcohol drinking. However, by the end she gets better by letting go of her demons and finally accepting herself into a better person. This is definitely something I can use elements for in Kate's arc for both the first and second parts in my story. To her struggles with her losing her mother and not protecting her sister. Then by the third part she fully overcomes her demons in order to become a better person to her family and her friends."
- CreatorMike FlanaganStarsMichiel HuismanCarla GuginoHenry ThomasFlashing between past and present, a fractured family confronts haunting memories of their old home and the terrifying events that drove them from it.*Forgot to add to original list, definitely had ideas what I could do for certain parts in my Batwoman story.
- DirectorMike FlanaganStarsMichiel HuismanCarla GuginoHenry ThomasKeenly perceptive Theo sees shades of herself in a troubled young patient, a girl who's haunted by the menacing grin of "Mr. Smiley.""Inspiration for how I make the story flow together with specific points from each scene to make it very natural. Also Theo could be another source of inspiration for Kate by having identical traits that I wanted to use for Kate goes out partying at nightclubs with a rebellious side, while still acting like a responsible adult with a job and how she handles her anger & depression as a grown up. Also helps me understand how younger self acts very sarcastic, calculating and especially caring around her siblings. Also, it can even show me how both Kate and her Mum have deep connection with something similar about each other - just like Theo and Olivia do when she discovers her psychic powers."
- DirectorMegan ParkStarsJenna OrtegaMaddie ZieglerNiles FitchHigh schooler Vada navigates the emotional fallout she experiences in the wake of a school tragedy. Relationships with her family, friends and view of the world are forever altered.Inspiration for how I could do the flashback scenes in my project with Kate grieving over the people she lost (her Mum and Beth (at the time)) and some of the PTSD she is suffering. Even if it's a few short scenes (or even one episode in bith Season 1 & 2) it helps show Kate's backstory and some of the thing she went through in order to cope with her loss - similar to what Vada and Mia go through during the events of the film.
- CreatorCaroline DriesStarsCamrus JohnsonRachel SkarstenMeagan TandyBatwoman seeks justice for Gotham City.*Forgot to add to original list, definitely had ideas what I could do for certain parts in my Batwoman story.
- DirectorEric Dean SeatonStarsJavicia LeslieRachel SkarstenMeagan TandyRyan, Sophie and Jada come together to formulate a plan to stop Marquis; Mary seeks to make amends for the harm she did as Poison Ivy; Alice continues to spiral out of control and contends with her mental demons."(Batwoman 3X12) Alice's subplot of her mental state and hallucinating people she cared that had died. It also shows her not trying to be a psychopath anymore and leaving her upset and depressed for most of the episode. This is something I can use for Beth's arc in the third project (movie or season) where she is constantly seeing people she has killed and how she constantly feels for what she did as Alice. I will also make it unique too by adding my own element of her actual seeing Alice torment Beth and make her feel overwhelmed with all the harm she caused (intentionally or unintentionally)."
- CreatorDick WolfRick EidStarsJerry OrbachJesse L. MartinDennis FarinaNew York's finest police detectives and prosecutors fight to make the city a safer place. With integrity as the guiding force from investigation to verdict, the teams weigh every perspective in their commitment to finding justice.*Forgot to add to original list, definitely had ideas what I could do for certain parts in my Batwoman story.
