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
Switching to Batgirl would be infinitely more interesting than a recast and would likely increase interest in the series with such a more popular character.
Start the season with a catastrophe, have Commissioner Gordon come back "from Retirement" and have Barbara Gordon back from college.
Or say Barbara was already Oracle working elsewhere who then returns to help Cass Cain Batgirl or Stephanie Brown.

That would essentially just be a completely different show.
I know the trailers for this show made it absolutely terrible and I've never found her to be a good actress either. She was the best in John Wick and she didn't have to speak.
Well for someone who just finished season one this is kind of depressing. I thought she was great and she was good in the cross overs as well
Eh, you could keep it similar but from a different angle.
Also with how Batwoman was hyped as being a Woman in Gotham, you can even add a bit of CW drama in that
Batgirl operated in Gotham mostly in secret for a few years strictly because Batman said so.
Barbara is kinda pissed Batwoman took her recognition.
Whatever happens at the start with Batwoman is what inspires Gordon to return, which then pushes Barbara's return.

... So a different show.
Between this and "have Alice become Batwoman," I'm glad some of you guys don't work in television. :P
Her ability to change her voice alone would make her amazing, haha.
Strike Back casts so many badass women a replacement should be easy to find imo however unfortunate the situation may be.
This would also be an extremely, extremely different show, but in an alternate universe where Batwoman never got made until now, Steph would be a great fit for it.
We'll see.
Just have to cast someone in the same tier of gay as her to keep the ratings
I'm not sure if her leaving and being replaced would have that great an impact on viewership because I don't think she really brought that much to the role that I can't imagine she would have gotten if it weren't for her name value which I don't think translated to anything with this show.
Yeah she was the favorite among LGBTQ+ people who hated Ruby's casting. Though a lot of those people were total assholes about it and were part of why Ruby quit social media for a while and I think quit Twitter?
Honestly it sounds like the shit the gater crowd tried to push, ignoring the viewership numbers, only to be shut up by the early renewal. Aside from Batwoman being one of the most watched shows on CW TV, live TV is pretty much secondary or even lower for WB CW shows.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess the new actress is going to look quite a bit different than Ruby.
TBH, they might have been the top billed but Caity Lotz has pretty much been the lead since the start or at least from season two on. She's the only one IMO whose leaving would signal the end of the show.

Almost any word that put any emphasis on an O sound.
I honestly think Legends COULD survive without Sara, but it's the kind of thing you'd have to build to gradually like they (kinda) did with Ray. If Caity just randomly said "FUCK IT I'M OUT" you know something went extremely, extremely wrong behind the scenes.
Luckily it looks like most of the main cast is making it to next season, if the promo I've seen for S6 is any indication.
It would be kinda messed up if they gave that crowd what they wanted to replace the person they harassed off social media..
I don't agree. If Caity Lotz leaves Legends is done.
There is a specific alt-right comic site that I won't link to here that has been obsessed with tearing down Batwoman, as they were with Captain Marvel, trying to push a narrative that Batwoman was a disaster. When it was renewed, they had to change their narrative, just as they did when Captain Marvel was a massive hit.
It'll need to be the same character. Batwoman is Kate Kane. You can't just write her out and replace her with someone else.
I feel like we've had enough story arcs about Barry making peace with his mother's death that even despite him being a big dumb idiot even he's smart enough to know that won't go well.
Yeah I don't see myself sticking with it if the best captain ever leaves.
She got pushed out for being a nightmare to work with by the looks of it
I think with just how the Arrowverse is, that Batwoman S2 can afford to address any changes directly, with there being several entities capable of rewriting and changing someone's appearance.
Kate waking up and not recognizing herself would be one hell of a season book.

It's comic books. There are seven hundred ways you can swap actresses, if they even bother to acknowledge it.
My bet's on them just recasting with no stated in-universe excuse. Maybe a jokey lampshade or two with someone asking if she did her hair differently or whatever.
- Barry fucked something up.
- The Legends fucked something up.
- "Aftershocks from Crisis".
- Mxyzptlk "changed the artist".

She's a horrible actress so pretty much anyone will be an upgrade. If it turns out to be Beatriz, that would be a ginormous upgrade.
It'll probably be this. Batwoman isn't really keyed in enough with the rest of the Arrowverse yet for an offhand Legends or Barry joke.
I don't think they need to address it in the show at all. I don't even want a "You look different. New haircut?" joke.
There's no chance that they do that nor should they. They don't want viewers to keep being reminded of the change.
They'll just recast and move forward.
Unless she has no interest in another tv roll, so it's whatever to her.
But just read the rest of the thread with hints dropped that she was canned, so eh.
Lmao

This is exactly the kind of thing Barry would do on a whim cause he's bored at home on a Tuesday. Some people knit, some people fuck up time and get people erased from existence.
