"Why do we work, Alice? You killed my mom, I replaced you in our family, but... here we are on this crazy adventure together. Hmm? Why? It's because despite all of our baggage, we both found the sister we always wanted. I see who the girl who... just craves her freedom."
—Mary Hamilton to Beth Kane
Elizabeth Marie "Beth" Kane (born January 26, 1990), known under the criminal alias Alice of Wonderland or simply Alice, is one of Gotham's most infamous criminals and the former leader of the Wonderland gang. She is also the estranged daughter of Jacob Kane and the late Gabi Kane, the estranged twin sister of Kate Kane, the step-sister of Mary Hamilton, the maternal cousin of Bruce Wayne, and the former close friend/sister-figure of the late Jonathan Cartwright.
After a family car accident caused by the Joker, Beth disappeared and was declared dead. In reality, she had been rescued from drowning and held captive by August Cartwright to become a companion for his disfigured son, Jonathan. The traumas Beth experienced in the subsequent years drove her insane until she adopted the identity of Alice. After escaping from August, Beth was found by Safiyah Sohail and taken to Coryana, where she joined the Many Arms of Death and fell in love with her trainer, Ocean. Beth and Ocean planned to flee the island with a Desert Rose, but were thwarted and had their memories altered by Enigma.
Eventually, Beth formed the Wonderland gang and began a crusade of revenge in Gotham against her family, becoming an arch-enemy of her twin sister, now known as Batwoman. She was nicknamed the Skin Pirate by the media after stealing faces from corpses. Beth murdered Catherine Hamilton-Kane as revenge for faking her death and framed Jacob. Following the entire Wonderland gang's murder by Tatiana, as well as Kate betraying and locking her up in Arkham Asylum, Beth's psyche crumbled further. Not long after her imprisonment, she managed to completely take over Arkham after having the warden killed and replaced by Jonathan, thus making him and Beth the "King and Queen of Arkham".
Upon learning the secrets of the Batsuit, Beth caused a breakout at Arkham and escaped, bent on revenge, all the while plunging Gotham into chaos alongside Jonathan and Hush. After fatally poisoning Jonathan when he wanted to leave her, she gave Hush a face that resembled her cousin, Bruce, in order to retrieve a weapon that could penetrate the Batsuit and kill Kate.
"Being captive is a way of life for her."
—Kate Kane to Mary Hamilton
•High-level intellect/Master tactician/Manipulator/Leader: Beth was able to attack highly secured places and bypass security measures with ease and swiftly adjusting to changing situations. She also effectively lead the Wonderland gang and was perfectly able to develop and orchestrate complex plots against her enemies. Beth is able to stay ahead of both the GCPD and the crows, predicting their moves and using them to her advantage. Even as she was near death, she cleverly manipulated the crows into hunting her doppelgänger at Wayne Tower. When looking at a file containing details about Ethan Campbell, she quickly deduced that he was really August Cartwright impersonating Campbell. In addition, she succeeded in manipulating her sister into "breaking" her code, when she handed August to her and let him goad her into killing him after learning the full tragic story of Beth's transformation into Alice. Even at her weakest state she still managed to turn the tables, in only one week, after being imprisoned in Arkham, she managed to completely take over the asylum after having the warden killed and replaced by Mouse. A feat not even all the other inmates, who are considered to be Gotham's worst criminals, were able to accomplish. When it was time to escape, she masterfully plunged the city into chaos after releasing all of Arkham's inmates as a distraction. Her own father even began comparing her methods to the legendary psychotic criminal the Joker.
•Medical knowledge: At the age of 14, Beth was taught by her kidnapper and tormenter, August, about the human anatomy so she could easily skin a living or a dead human being and preserve said skin. Alice was able to make Johnny look "normal" at her first try, a feat that August alone couldn't do.
•Expert interrogator/Torturer: Beth is a very effective interrogator and torturer.Sshe also knew many different skinning techniques, most likely taught by August. After getting locked up in Arkham by her sister's betrayal, she became far more merciless than ever before, as she took pleasure in electrocuting two cryptographers to death out of spite, and electrocuting Julia Pennyworth to "motivate" Luke Fox in deciphering his father's journal.
•Toxicology: Beth was very proficient in toxicology and the use of poison.

She also used the specialized railgun that can penetrate Batwoman's suit. During her fight with Ryan Wilder, she used twin pistols, but discarded them after the batsuit protected Ryan from the shots. •Alice in Wonderland: During her eleven years of captivity, Beth would seek comfort in reading Lewis Carroll's Alice in Wonderland book. Though the book was destroyed by August Cartwright, Beth and Johnny repaired the book, using fish wire. By 2018, she memorized each and every word in the book to heart. Beth would use the fish wire that was used to repair her book to escape captivity from Crows Security years later. After escaping Arkham, when Mouse decided he was going to leave Alice and her quest for revenge on her family, Alice gave him a send off party to which they burned the pages of the novel, since that was the item that anchor them to their trauma, and they needed to let it go once and for all. •Journal: During Beth's time ruling Arkham, she learned that the late Lucius Fox's journal has the knowledge on how to pierce the Batsuit from Tommy Elliot, she had Magpie steal the journal from Johnny Sabatino, in exchange for her freedom. After getting Lucius' glasses from her sister Kate, she began to easily read it and learned on how she can kill her sister as Batwoman. •Glasses: After making an exchange with Kate for Beth's prisoners, Luke Fox and Julia Pennyworth, Beth got her hands on Lucius Fox's glasses, and she began to easily read Lucius's journal and learned on how she can kill her sister as Batwoman.

That’s all fine if you want to watch a soap opera, but I personally want something more kinetic out of the show. 🤷🏻♂️. As for the show being a worthwhile exploration of the extend Bat-Family, I suppose it is. Bruce’s uncle and cousins are in the first season. Alice is still around as of season 3.
