executive producer Sarah Schechter and showrunner Caroline Dries met with their eventual star, Ruby Rose, the Australian model-turned-actress wasn't sure about committing to a television show. But Rose said Sunday at the Television Critics Association's summer press tour that she knew she wanted to sign on for the role after hearing the duo's impassioned story pitches.
The character of Batwoman, aka Batman's cousin, Kate Kane, is the first lesbian superhero to headline her own series, and out actress Rose sees herself in the character. There is a big difference, however: "I don't brood as much. I really don't! I smile more," she joked, having mentioned that she was finally able to smile a lot more in an episode she recently filmed. While the character's sexuality won't be her biggest character trait, it is integral to the series' storyline — particularly flashback scenes to her days in a military school with a Don't Ask, Don't Tell policy.
Another fundamental aspect to the character: That Batwoman is a character who has existed since 2006, and that her version of Kate Kane is hopefully the first of many to eventually air on television.

Hopefully the Bat Signal won’t be in the sky on a Friday night.
Any other boxes need ticking?
That's clutch no good on the bat mobile 🤣🤣🤣
such a groundbreaking character deserved hell of a lot better writing and an actor that didnt' study at the university for over acting.
She looks totally pathetic in that picture. Thought she said the suit would be perfect on a woman. Sounds like bullshit to me.
I saw it and well, I was not impressed.
Oh, I really wasn't already sick of the insanity that is gripping the stupid people of the Western world. A gay, Jewish Batwoman. Just what we needed! Thank you :) /sarcasm
A Jewish Lesbian Australian.
Gross, I'll pass, of course. None of these inclusive garbage will ever see a penny from my pocket.
Contrived tickbox telly that's where we're at now.
Looks horrible 😂
So why didn’t you get a Jewish actress?
Yeah! That’s awesome! I can’t wait to see BatwomanCW dive into her Judaism!
Hollywood needs to stop making movies and shows where the gay characters being gay is “an integral part of the storyline.” Just let them exist normally.
