Batwomanreturned from a month - long hiatus to at last work out the mystery of who killed Lucius Fox years in the beginning . But while the episode was for the most part about Fox ’s execution , a mystic mad Italian sandwich , and Alice ’s attempt to escape Arkham , there was a critical closure to one ofKate Kane’smost traumatic worked up arcs this time of year .
Though we ’ve been on amini - Arrowverse hiatus , “ A Narrow Escape ” picks up not long after the consequence of last month ’s absolutely volatile “ Off With Her Head ” which saw Kate Kane seem to do somethingBatman never would .
Namely , murder her enemy .

In the show , Batwoman ’s disappeared because Kate ( Ruby Rose ) feels too shamefaced to put on the masquerade party after she remove the guy who tortured and get her sister mad and decollate her mother , aka Cartwright ( John Emmet Tracy ) . A bit of pretenders have donned flimsy black bodysuits and flushed wigs in an exertion to copy Batwoman , but Kate is too busy borrowing from her first cousin ’s playbook and bulk large up a storm at home to care .

When Fox ’s son , Luke ( Camrus Johnson ) , corner his father ’s manslayer and groom to bolt down him , Kate attempts to tattle him out of it — finally confessing to the execution she send . That ’s enough to give Luke pause . But at the end of the episode he asks her why she kept the murder from him and she confesses she feels awesome about violating Batman ’s code of “ NO MURDER . ” You eff the affair that separates him from other ordinary dudes who ply around rooftop in masks . ( think : Oliver Queen was a serial killer ! And described as such for most of the first time of year of Arrow ! )

But Luke asks her if she ever marvel why no one ’s learn from the Joker in five years and coolly says “ He is n’t in Arkham . ” Then , just in case you were wondering whether Batman collapse his own code or if the CW ’s Batverse has a Red Robin Hood or Azrael rather than the original , Luke goes on to say , “ Both you and Bruce stared into the abysm . ”
Presumably , the abyss is a synonym for “ the duskiness that consumes a Bat person when they commit a little vigilante murder . ”
But it ’s just up in the air enough that it could mean something else . We ’ve view no other Bat people in Kate ’s Gotham which is nowthe Gotham . No Batgirls or Robins or Nightwings . CW ’s Arrowverse Batfamily is theoretically humble and by all odds sadder . Considering Kate barely blinked when she met the confirmed serial liquidator Batman of an alternative universe in the bigCrisis on Infinite Earthscrossover , it is not out of the question that her universe ’s Batman is also prostrate to a little murder .

So it take a crap sense that in a universe where Kate Kane ’s mom is DECAPITATED and her DECAPITATED chief IS STORED IN A FREEZER FOR A DECADE that Batman would also get fed up with a jokey serial killer and off him . What do you think ?
