Ruby Rose is being recast apparently, no reason given.

Ruby Rose is being recast apparently, no reason given.

She made a statement and so did the studio, but no one provides a reason.

I hope her injury hasn't permanently scarred her physically or mentally. I really loved the first season, even if I didn't like some of the choices either she or the director made.

She may not have the ability to wait to resume work and couldn't due anything (or what she wanted) with the current contract restrictions.

I wish her love and the best in her life and career.

That's too bad. She was good in this role. I hope they can recast this without killing the series.

[Falcon Horus]

Definitely gonna miss Ruby Rose as Batwoman.

Plenty to love without her, but it's fantastic to see someone like me reflected back on the television screen.
She's cool.

I never knew you had so many tattoos FH.

This is one of the stranger moves I've seen. I'm not sure the series can successfully continue with recasting the lead

If I wasn't so damn afraid of needles, I might have had.

It's what I have been thinking but we'll just have to wait and see, I guess.

Seems like it was more of a "mutual breakup"..

What I found interesting was the comment that she wasn't fun to work with. Whatever it was, she did seem to have good chemistry with characters like Julia, Mary, Beth, Alice, and Luke.

What I find most believable was dealing with the transition of being a lead on a TV show. Many long hours.

David Boreanaz even commented on how he felt a loot of pressure being the leading character on Angel. Once the show became more of an ensemble it was better for him.

[Annoyed]

She / They have not stated a reason, but I have to wonder if her injury doing the series earlier has made her re-think it. That Batsuit doesn't really make her invincible.

If by "like me", you mean LGBT, think they've already stated that they're intending on casting another LGBT person in the role.

I almost never believe CBR's articles. They like to stir the pot

[Gatefan1976]

It will be interesting to see where they go from here. Ruby certainly did an awesome job as Kate Kane/Batwoman, it's the most intense "fight scene" story since Arrow in the CW "DCEU" so it does not suprise me she got injured doing it
Perhaps that is why they

Spoiler:

killed mouse off to give Alice an out as well

I liked Ruby Rose in this, sad to see her go, I hope they can find someone to replace her that at least bares a pretty strong resemblance to her and can act like the character that's been established. It would be too jarring if she was replaced with somene who looks completely different with an entirely different attitude/personality. It's annoying when they recast minor characters in shows, this is going to be even more annoying and difficult to get used to because Kate/Batwoman is the lead character, it will be especially difficult if the new actress looks too different and decides or is asked to play the character differently. At that point they may as well have Kate die and have someone else pick up the mantle of Batwoman instead of recasting an established character.
