I mean the article says it's not due to the injury she sustained but that had to have been incredibly traumatic and then maybe thr personal realities or just the stress of doing a show like this you know.

Ruby Rose Exits the CW’s ‘Batwoman’, DC Series To Recast Iconic Lead Role For Season 2 (UP: Javicia Leslie cast as new lead)
- Thread starter Spectromixer
- Start date
For real. The genre shows generally have a fanbase that keeps it going.
I mean, Supernatural is only ending after 15 years because the two leads decided it was time. That thing would keep going otherwise.
Pretty sure Eva Green did something similar with Penny Dreadful so she could star in Ms Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, which should have been a multi-movie franchise. It didn't exactly pan out. You'd think sticking with a TV show would be the smart move since it's reliable income.
She is a bad actress but this is still pretty weird for the show.
That was always the plan, not just because of the delay into next year.
It is completely strange that she is leaving so suddenly.
I haven't watched this show, and I'm aware that Ruby Rose isn't a good actor, but.... neither was Stephen Amell. And yet, people didn't complain that much, and he actually grew into the role a bit, especially in Season 2. (I didn't watch the show pass season 3 though, so forgive me for not being up to date with how he fared in later seasons.)
I don't get this at all. What the hell is going on behind the scenes?

I was just starting to come around to her after disliking her performances in the first crossover and earlier in the season. Alice is really the big star of the show anyway, but it's a bummer Ruby's leaving and Batwoman needs to be recast. Unless the new lead is completely nondescript, it shouldn't be a horrible result.
Spartacus? They had no choice (Andy was the GOAT :(. ) But still show was great after and I think still did well?
Yeah really. The Supernatural brothers have the right idea. Just chill out in Vancouver half the year, have fun on set, and enjoy life on easy street. Why throw away a golden ticket that 98% of working actors would kill for.
Well I don't wanna assume too much, also this is actually the first time I even learned of her injury tbh
As for these CW shows, especially the superhero side of things, I always figured anyone getting into them, much less the lead, understood that they're probably in it for the long haul
They should 100% have Rachel Skarsten in the role, taking Batwoman down with the kryptonite, cutting her face off and making her look like herself is so totally Alice. The plastic surgery stuff is so perfect instead of them just replacing the actor and never acknowledging it.
Yeah, I was thinking more of recasts where a new actor played the same character that had already been established. I think NYPD Blue and 2 and a Half Men brought in a new character to replace one that they wrote off the show. Same with Criminal Minds after Mandy Patinkin's abrupt departure.
The only shows I can really think of are Valerie's Family/The Hogan Family and Bewtiched. And that's kinda stretching the definition of the "modern era" of television.
They are getting a new lead actress to play Queen Elizabeth on The Crown, though that is necessitated because the show is doing a huge time-skip.
Aren't Kate and Beth technically (at least in the comics) identical twins?
Sounds like a good idea to me.
Wow what a crazy situation out of no where. I'm sure we'll hear more later as time goes on, we usually do.
Not paying attention to the Batwoman television series apparently.
People wanting Rachel to play Batwoman, not realizing that Rachel isn't gay, right? That would be quite a disservice to the character and representation.
The show was not on the fence. It got an early renewal.
Why do people just keep making stuff up?
It is a weekly show on HBO in Europe. I followed it in there.
Kinda hard to complain about her acting in a CW show of all things but I only watched first episode and Crisis. She can't be that bad?
Surprising as people have said, it's one steady pay check, better offers elsewhere seems unlikely for her talents but who knows, maybe she asked for too much money and CW didn't budge or something else entirely.
Casting is no problem if you get the right person.

It was the CW's third highest rated show this year, and one of the two shows that beat it was the shortened final season of Arrow which is gone now. So yes, its one of the CW's top shows. A lot of people in this thread talking like the show was on the verge of dying. Its done VERY well from a ratings perspective.
The ratings plummeted mid-season. I don't think that the show has great footing at this point. I'd be happy to be wrong but I don't think the show makes it to season 3.
yeah, i had to triple take. just finished the season today and now this. total mental whiplash.
