"I am extremely proud to be the first Black actress to play the iconic role of Batwoman on television, and as a bisexual woman, I am honored to join this groundbreaking show which has been such a trailblazer for the LGBTQ+ community," she said in a press release.
According to the network, the character of Ryan Wilder is"likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed" and"nothing" like Rose's character Kate Kane. "With no one in her life to keep her on track, Ryan spent years as a drug-runner, dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits," the character breakdown adds."Today Ryan lives in her van with her plant. A girl who would steal milk for an alley cat and could also kill you with her bare hands, Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter: highly skilled and wildly undisciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic. Raw. Passionate. Fallible.
"I am beyond appreciative to Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created," she continued."Thank you Peter Roth and Mark Pedowitz and the teams at Warner Bros. and The CW who put so much into the show and always believed in me. Thank you to everyone who made season one a success — I am truly grateful.
While the reasons behind her exit remain unclear, Rose said in a follow-up post that she has"stayed silent" about the exit"because that's my choice for now."
TooFab So instead of recasting, they are just going to do a total erasure of an LGBT character and replace her with a Black chick. This is gonna suck, Batwoman has never been Black, if they were gonna do that they should have had Kate's love interest Sophie take over.
TooFab This is a racist post, why should her color have to be mentioned? You making it sound like her color got her her role and not her talent....
TooFab All the DC shows eventually turn into soap operas. I'm sure shes a good actress but I cant even watch CW shows anymore lol

TooFab Ruby Rose was the first white actress to play the superhero in live-action TV, and that was just last year. It’s not like this is Batman or James Bond where this character has a long history of white people in the role.
