    One day after the British actress was unraveled to have taken over her role, ‘The Meg’ star turns to social media to make it clear she knew all about the former’s casting beforehand.

    Mar 23, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    Ruby Rose has given British actress Wallis Day a big thumbs up after she took over the “Batwoman” role of Kate Kane on TV on Sunday night, March 21.

    Wallis made her debut as the character on the CW series, which Ruby exited after just one season in 2020, and fans felt sure there was a bat beef between the Australian and the new star after Rose hinted she would be happy to return to the role in a post last week.

    “The Meg” star wrote, “I’m obviously moving on to other roles as I think I’ve done about three films since, but I would totally do it [reprise Kane]… I would absolutely do anything they wanted.”

    But Rose returned to social media on Monday to make it clear she knew all about Day’s casting and was thrilled for the new Batwoman.

    “I’m sorry I didn’t congratulate @wallisday yesterday,” Ruby wrote on Instagram. “I knew about the casting beforehand and didn’t know when it aired so i forgot to.”

    “But I’m stoked for her! I’m seeing all the things I’m tagged in with people sad or wondering how I felt… I feel great I have nothing but good vibes.”

    Ruby Rose congratulated Wallis Day for her ‘Batwoman’ casting.

    Rose’s Kane was seemingly written out of the show following a mysterious plane crash at the beginning of the new season of the show, and Javicia Leslie took over the lead role as new character Ryan Wilder.

    Wallis herself has expressed her excitement over her casting on Instagram. “I’m sure you can imagine how much this means to me and how incredible it’s been working on the show so far,” the 26-year-old declared in the post.

    “It’s a huge responsibility stepping into the shoes of a character that’s already been established and it’s a journey I’m looking forward to being a part of and hoping you guys do too,” she added. “Everyone’s made me feel so welcome and it’s amazing being back home with my DC family.”

      Javicia Leslie Dons Newly-Designed Batsuit in First-Look Images of 'Batwoman' Season 2

      by

      The CW

      The new suit is expected to appear in the third episode of the new season as Ryan Wilder will sport Kate Kane’s (Ruby Rose) suit in the first two episodes until she grows into her newfound role as Batwoman.

      Oct 27, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The CW’s “Batwoman” has revealed two first-look images of Javicia Leslie’s character Ryan Wilder. Released on Monday, October 26 on the show’s official social media accounts, the said pictures see Javicia donning a new Batsuit which is specially designed for her character.
      In the pictures, Javicia’s Ryan can be seen flaunting her natural curly hair which has red streaks. She also sports red gauntlets over the forearms and shorter boots. Other noticeable new additions in the new suit are the new belt with the bat logo and the new material which give stronger silhoutte to the DC superhero.

      “The Batsuit was conceptualized by Batwoman costume designer Maya Mani and created by Ocean Drive Leather, the wig created by Janice Workman and Takisha Sturdivant, and makeup styled by Cory Roberts,” writes Javicia, who is the first black actress to play the role, on her Instagram account.

      In a new statement, Javicia also reveals that the new suit is exactly what she wants for her character. “I love the fact that Ryan is becoming her own Batwoman – it’s her style, her swag, and her moment,” she says. “I felt it was important that viewers could tell by the silhouette that Batwoman was a black girl. With the form-fitting suit and beautiful Afro, we definitely nailed it!”
      “Ryan’s journey starts from a place of ‘What can this Batsuit do for me?’ But it’s not long before she realizes the power of its symbol and what it can do for everyone else in Gotham City,” executive producer Caroline Dries further details Batwoman’s new look. “As Ryan embraces everything that makes her special, she adjusts the suit to fit her physically and figuratively.”
      She goes on to say, “This meant creating a new body design and new cowl that was undeniably a statement that screamed ‘powerful.’ Maya Mani sent me her drawings and I loved it. The wig was something we never perfected in season one, and Janice Workman crushed it with this new take. Javicia and I saw various prototypes of styles and red ombres, and at one point we were trading our own iPad-doodled versions. Janice translated that into what we are looking at now. When I see it, I smile. It makes me feel inspired.”
      The new suit is expected to appear in the third episode of the show’s upcoming season 2. Ryan will sport Kate Kane’s (Ruby Rose) suit in the first two episodes of the season as she grows into her newfound role as Batwoman.
      The sophomore season of “Batwoman” is set to premiere on The CW in January 2021.

      Ruby Rose Cites Covid-19 Pandemic as Reason for Her 'Batwoman' Exit

      by

      The CW

      The ‘Orange Is the New Black’ actress claims the coronavirus lockdown prompted her to decide to give up her superhero role on The CW’s new DC show after just one season.
      Oct 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Ruby Rose decided to leave “Batwoman” after just one season because the Covid-19 lockdown gave her time to “think and reflect” about the programme.
      The 34-year-old’s decision to leave the show came as a shock to fans, considering she’d only starred in the title role for one season.
      Addressing her exit on SiriusXM’s “The Jess Cagle Show”, however, Ruby denied that a back injury was her main reason for her departure, insisting having time to think about her acting career during lockdown influenced her decision.
      “I think what played a bigger part was more, we got shut down early. We didn’t get to finish the first season, which is such a shame, especially for a first season show,” she explained.
      “Then we went into lockdown with Covid and thinking of in quarantine and locked down, there was a lot of thought and reflection and everyone did it. You know, we all kind of thought about where we’re at. We were discussing the show and we had a conversation.”

      She continued, “I had a great time on Batwoman. I am so proud of what we achieved. We set out to achieve something pretty significant, the first-ever live-action Batwoman and the first-ever out gay superhero, her and Kate Kane.”
      “I love that character and the whole experience, but we did have a discussion and we sort of mutually agreed that probably what was best for the show at the time was they go in a different direction and I go in a different direction.”
      Ruby also insisted that she doesn’t have any bad feelings about her exit and will be watching the second season, which will star Javicia Leslie in the title role.
      “It was tough cause it was sad cause we will love each other, but also it made sense for so many different reasons. And I think at the end of the day, I’m really excited to watch season two. I think the show is great. I love the cast,” she smiled.
      “I’m still in contact with everyone, but it was a decision that we talked about, we discussed, we slept on. But at the time with all that reflection, it just seemed like the right thing to do.”

      'Riverdale' and 'Batwoman' Shut Down Production Due to Covid-19 Testing Delays

      by

      The CW

      The productions on the two comic book TV series have been halted along with several other shows like ‘DC’s Legends of Tomorrow’, ‘Supergirl’, and ‘Chicago Med’.
      Oct 1, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Production has reportedly shut down on U.S. TV shows “Riverdale” and “Batwoman” due to coronavirus testing delays in Vancouver, where the programmes are filmed.
      According to Variety, there’s just a single lab company approved to oversee Covid-19 testing in British Columbia – where production opened in June (20) due to the Canadian province’s proficient handling of the containment of the virus – and they are prioritising schools and local businesses. Sources told the industry outlet that the shut downs are “assumed to be temporary”, and are likely to get up and running again once the testing backlog has cleared.
      Production has also been delayed on “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” and “Supergirl”, both of which were scheduled to start filming this week, the outlet added.

      Meanwhile, production on medical drama “Chicago Med” has also been suspended for the next fortnight, due to a positive Covid-19 test.
      An NBC spokesperson told Entertainment Tonight that an individual on the set tested positive through a rapid test as part of the production’s regular coronavirus protocol, and immediately went home.
      The representative added that the protocols and systems in place meant they were able to act quickly and that the pause in production won’t affect the delivery of the show on NBC.
      Film and TV industries have been struggling to adapt to post-coronavirus world since lockdown was first imposed earlier this year. Many projects were either pushed back or called off as the industry was brought to a standstill due to the worldwide pandemic.

      'Batwoman' Has No Intention of Abandoning LGBTQ Justice Despite Ruby Rose's Exit

      by

      The CW

      Executive producer Caroline Dries promises fans that Kate Kane will not be killed off in the series as she offers clarification on earlier statement about the replacing of the character with a new one.
      Jun 11, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Batwoman” executive producer Caroline Dries has assured fans of the show there will still be a lesbian dynamic following the exit of Ruby Rose – because that’s why she signed on to be part of the series
      Rose made history when she was cast as the first openly-gay TV superhero in 2018, but after shooting one season of the drama the Australian actress stepped down, announcing her decision last month.
      Dries recently confirmed a new character will replace Ruby’s Kate Kane as Batwoman, prompting some fans to voice concerns about the gay theme of the series.
      Dries took to social media on Wednesday to make sure gay viewers get the right information about the show going forward, insisting the writers will not be killing off Kate Kane.
      “My comments about recasting Batwoman have launched a storm of rumours and misinformation and I wanted to clarify something,” Dries said. “Like you, I love Kate Kane – she’s the reason I wanted to do the show. We’ll never erase her.”
      “As a lesbian who’s been working as a writer for the past 15 years, I’m well aware of the ‘Bury Your Gays’ trope and I have no interest in participating in it.”
      She reveals Kane’s disappearance will be “one of the mysteries of season two”, adding, “I don’t want to give away any of our surprises, but to all our devoted fans, please know that LGBTQ+ justice is at the very core of what Batwoman is and we have no intention of abandoning that.”

      Rose announced she would be stepping down as Kane and her crime fighting alter ego two days after the first season finale aired in the U.S., telling fans it was a “very difficult decision”.
      “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,” Rose said in a statement. “I am beyond appreciative to (executive producers) Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Caroline Dries for not only giving me this incredible opportunity, but for welcoming me into the DC universe they have so beautifully created… Thank you to everyone who made season one a success – I am truly grateful.”
      A week later she addressed her departure on Instagram and added: “It wasn’t an easy decision but those who know, know… I didn’t want to not acknowledge everyone involved and how big this was for TV and for our community.”
      Her replacement will take on the new character Ryan Wilder, who becomes an unlikely superheroine inspired by Batwoman.

      'Batwoman' Showrunner Claims Introduction of New Lead Was a Way to Respect Ruby Rose

      by

      The CW

      When confirming that Ryan Wilder will take over the crimefighter title in place of Kate Kane, Caroline Dries admits executive producer Greg Berlanti helped her make the call.
      Jun 9, 2020
      AceShowbiz – “Batwoman” showrunner Caroline Dries has confirmed reports the crimefighter will return to TV with a new identity following Ruby Rose’s shock exit.
      “The Meg” star quit the TV series after just one season last month and last week it was rumoured that her character would not be recast.
      Instead, the show’s creators and writers plan to retire Kate Kane and introduce a new character as Batwoman, Ryan Wilder, when the show returns to TV.
      “To be honest with you, I did consider the soap opera version for a hot minute, because selfishly we already had a couple episodes written, and transition-wise it would be seamless,” Dries explained to TV Line. “But upon further reflection, and I think (executive producer) Greg (Berlanti) helped me make this call – he’s like, ‘I think we should just reboot Batwoman as a different character’.”
      “We want to respect to everything that Ruby put into the Kate Kane character… and this way also helps the audience, because we’re not asking them to address the elephant in the room by accepting a new face as the same person (sic).”
      Dries revealed Wilder is a misfit character who was inspired by Batwoman.
