Lats Sunday, The CW aired what will be its last episode of Batwoman for a while until it can figure out how to shoot this series under pandemic conditions. The main plot was archenemy Alice on the trail of a Kryptonite bullet that could penetrate Batwoman’s armor, so she could kill her. …Maybe she succeeded? Lead actress Ruby Rose dropped a bomb this afternoon when she released a public statement announcing her immediate departure from the Batwoman series. The character she plays is…Batwoman. “I have made the very difficult decision to not return to Batwoman next season,” Rose says. “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. 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

CW Officially Orders Batwoman Pilot

This is perhaps the least surprising news so far this year, but The CW just confirmed their interest in a Batwoman TV series today by putting in the order for a pilot. Caroline Dries will write the pilot and David Nutter will direct. We’d mention who the executive producer is, but by now you know already. A Berlantiverse version of Batwoman was test-ran last month in the Elseworlds crossover, a three-night event that saw Green Arrow and The Flash switching…not exactly bodies, but lives (and even wives!) In actuality the whole thing was meant as a teaser for the CW adaption of Crisis On Infinite Earths, which they committed to at the end. But it was also a teaser for Batwoman herself, played by tattoo queen Ruby Rose. In the comics Kate Kane is pretty much Lady Bruce Wayne…she has billions of dollars and she secretly moonlights as a crime-fighting vigilante in a flying-rodent costume. Kane’s exact financial status wasn’t revealed in the preview of her we got in Elseworlds,

Batwoman Looks Like This

Check it out: it’s Ruby Rose as Batwoman, star of this year’s CW superhero crossover special. She looks magnificent. Despite being two months away, there are still several mysteries in the air regarding this crossover, though one big question — “what are they going to do about all of Ruby’s tattoos” — has been definitively answered here. You can’t see any part of her actual body except her mouth, and she hasn’t gotten around to tattooing her tongue yet. One question that’s still up in the air: if the chosen title for the crossover, “Elseworlds,” means the entire story could be non-canonical. This is a brand DC uses for alternate tales that have nothing to do with the current DC Universe narrative. We suppose it depends on how the audience responds to Batwoman here. The CW is considering spinning her off into her own series if she proves popular. In addition to Batwoman, this crossover will also feature the return of Tyler Hoechlin as Superman, accompanied by Bitsie Tuloch as

Ruby Rose Is Batwoman

We now know who The CW is hiring to play Batwoman in this year’s Big DC Berlantiverse Crossover. It’s actress Ruby Rose, who you can currently see in the giant shark movie The Meg. This was an important decision for The CW, as the casting would not only affect the crossover but who would star in the possible Batwoman TV series the network is looking into. The crossover is intended as an introduction, and if it goes well, The CW could wind up with a ridiculous six superhero-themed shows, because too much is never enough. Only announced today, the casting of Rose is already controversial among the fandom — the most common statement in comment threads is “She can’t act.” (This has never been a barrier to employment on The CW before.) A larger question is what exactly they plan to do about Rose’s tattoos. Ruby Rose is heavily tattooed up and down her arms, all the way to the fingers, and several of her designs depict copyrighted characters Warner
