Poll of the Day > Batwoman will be an Entirely NEW CHARACTER and will NOT Replace Kate Kane!!!

(+) Yeah! (+)

The CW's Batwoman will be introducing a new character to take over the title role of the series after Ruby Rose shockingly left the series!!

Rather than replace Kate Kane, the show will bring in "Ryan Wilder" to take over

A casting notice for the role was sharedo Reddit beforeit was removed as the casting called the new character "likeable, messy, a little goofy and untamed" as she will also be somewhat younger and will be in her late 20s who is the opposite of Kane.

It says "With no one in her life to keep heron track. Ryan spent years as a drug runner,dodging the GCPD and masking her pain with bad habits. Today, reformed and sober, Ryan lives in a Van with her plant. She's a girl who would steal milk from an alley cata and could also kill you with her bare hands. Ryan is the most dangerous type of fighter, highly skilled and wildly disciplined. An out lesbian. Athletic. Raw. Passionate. Fallible and very much not your stereotypical all-american hero"

The casting is encouraging LGBTQ+ performers to audition that is expected to film in Vancouver (hopefully) later this fall and air in January 2021.

Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter confirmed they want to bring in an LGBTQ member for the role as Rose herself identified as a lesbian in a genderfluid series.

Rose left the series after having trouble adapting to the long series required of her as she said it wasn't an easy decision to exit the series and wanted to thank CW for the opportunity to play an iconic role.

It's not known if the character will be an alter-ego character from the DC universe or if it's an entirely new character..

Rose apparently was UNHAPPY living in Vancouver and had huge backlash when the show aired last fall and for the casting decision to make her for the title role as she had to fight hard to change minds.

Do you think creating a new role is a better option than replacing Kate Kane?

So Batwoman will still be Batwoman just a different character under the cowl? That's fine. As much as I love Batman and his universe I could never get into Batwoman and I doubt this will change. I also wasn't a big fan of Gotham.

Ooh! Shes neat! Im okay with this.

Nobody watches this show. Literally not one person.

I think its lame. This is like if in Smallville they had replaced Clark Kent after the first season with some random other guy and the rest of the series was about him and Superman was forgotten.

As much as it bugs me that that the actress is leaving they should have made the new actress still Kate Kane. Kate Kate is literally Batman's cousin and is a pretty important person. This is also means her story will never be finished. Wasn't she trying to find Bruce or something?
