Ruby Rose exits Batwoman ahead of season 2: 'This was not a decision I made lightly'

this past Sunday. In light of this decision, the CW superhero drama will recast the role ahead of its second season, which will hopefully premiere in 2021.next season," Rose said in a statement obtained by EW. "This was not a decision I made lightly as I have the utmost respect for the cast, crew and everyone involved with the show in both Vancouver and in Los Angeles."

She continued: "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. 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.

"The fact that she is an outwardly gay superhero, which is something growing up I would've loved to have seen on my TV, was a big deciding factor as to why I was so passionate about the role,".

Following Rose's departure, Warner Bros. TV, the CW, and Berlanti Productions released a statement promising to cast an LGBTQ actress in the titular role for season 2: "Warner Bros. Television, The CW and Berlanti Productions thank Ruby for her contributions to the success of our first season and wish her all the best.

Terrible show anyway. I didn't like it one bit.

finally some good news

Replace her with maddow and no one would probably notice.

You wait your entire career for an amazing role and you wall away Females are clawing to get a role like this...unbelievable

CWBatwoman is one of my fav new shows & Alice/RachieSkarsten is among the very best villains we've seen in any superhero content. RubyRose did well in the Batsuit while she did okay as Kate Kane but it wasn't a standout, it was a bit off at times (I'm not alone at thinking so).

The Ruby Rose thing is not a loss but an opportunity. The show makers should announce now that they'll cast a DIFFERENT woman every season, & if they don't announce it you all may as well abandon the show now 'cos I'm pretty sure this superhero shit has been done to death anyway.

I didn’t like her at first but she grew on me.

THESE COMMENTS ARE TRIFLING LMAOOO

huhh

aveiestweets ☺️👏🏼

Guys. Alice knows how to flay a person's face off and install a new one. How best to torture her sister than to suddenly give her a new face (maybe of a criminal?) And watch her go into Arkham or prison? ..that's what I would do. Idk if carolinedries would go for it though. Lol

Jacks__K thank god😂

I like her, but I couldn’t get into the show, even after several episodes.

Lolol say it isn't so! A shit show that abuses the source material is not going well!? Hahahahaha suck it

.TheCW needs to make the best programme not a programme that ticks political correctness boxes. Stop trying to force issues on the viewers.

Because the series is shit with terrible woke themes that make no sense, and destroy the part of Batman that made it so powerful to begin with. How about a series where it’s just a rainbow flag for 42 minutes so you can still get BuzzFeedNews to praise it as fresh

Well she is an awful actor. A mannequin would bring more to the role.

Natalie Dormer, please. She's so versatile.

She’s a mess. She can never stick to a project

Now since you have more budget bring back arrow and StephenAmell

More like fired.

She was unwatchable to the point I gave up after three episodes.

lol the show is bad

Replacing the main character is a big risk. Holy crap.

Good. Batwoman was a terrible show anyway

Sinking ship she is getting out now smart. It’s a terrible show.

LauraQuinngould

Men!!! That is messed up. It will be awkward watching different person as batwowan.

How will the show go on w/o her? They will have to swap the actress and pretend it’s Ruby Rose?

she is a terrible actress, why she continually gets cast in hollywood projects is ridiculous

I hate to see you leave u are awesome

alegna301 😳

Wasnt she injured and almost died? My guess is that she lost the desire after that or maybe the injury makes being on set as the lead and doing action very painful

GeekVibesNation

Bummed. I really loved her in the character, a favorite of mine from the New 52 comic books.

Probably Ruby left the show because of all the fucking Hate she got because people can’t let Batman go like come on we had a Batman show and that was “GOTHAM” like how many more Batman shows you want? Batwoman was about Bruce’s cousin Kate not him

Thank god she was awful in this role. The only reason I continued to watch was Alice. Get it right this time!

Look just do a Buffy the Vampire styled show, with Batgirl, she attends Gotham high, dad’s Jim Gordon, at night she’s fighting Man-Bat, Killer Croc, Clay-Face, boom hit show.

I find that this is going to be weird. I don't know if i could get use to someone else playing Kate Kane. This isn't like Doctor Who...

but WHY?!

She wasn't great.

Kstew for the new batwoman! Bring it on

Is that a joke?

Can't say that i'm too upset over this. She never nailed this role, IMO.

Can't wait to see her in sasrednotice with SamHeughan rubyrose Batwoman

Here's a crazy idea: instead of specifically looking for a LGBT actor to play a LGBT character, what about blind casting characters in general, so a LGBT actor can play any role and viceversa. After all, acting is supposed to be about playing someone who isn't you 🤷🏽‍♀️

Something is not being said. I want the dirt!

good cancel it altogether get woke go broke

lili reinhart as batwoman please

Yayyyyy

SHE'S BATWOMAN

🤯🤯🤯 bro what

SHE WAS PUSHED....

MckeeveMichelle . Ruby Rose is gone! She won’t be playing Kate Kane anymore. BatwomanCW Batwoman

Why?

Must have been expensive for her....lol

Acting isn't easy. The archenemy (Alice) is a superior actress, and that makes it tough for the lead. Rachel Skarsten needs her own show, or a starring role in the new version of what Batwoman will become.

SHOOK CWBatwoman RubyRose 💔❤️😱🦇🦸‍♀️🏳️‍🌈

So is Batman gonna come back or?

I don't know if I have seen this before. Usually a minor character might be changed but not the main one.

Cha-co-ta
