Ruby Rose Cast as The CW’s Batwoman

According to Deadline, Ruby Rose has been cast as the CW’s Batwoman. The character will make her first appearance as part of The CW’s annual DC Arrowverse crossover event in December; Rose also is set to play the role in the Batwoman series the CW has in development for next season. If the project goes to series, Batwoman will become the first gay lead character, male or female, of a live-action superhero series. Batwoman is considered a trailblazer for LGBTQ+ representation in comics. She was reintroduced to the DC comic universe in 2006 when she was established as a Jewish lesbian, becoming the first-ever lesbian superhero title DC character.
