Ruby Rose is gone, and it’s just Batwoman who remains.
Following the surprise announcement of actor Ruby Rose’s departure from the CW’s Batwoman, the show will move in a completely new direction with its title character next season. Kate Kane will hang up her cape and cowl altogether, in favour of a new hero: Ryan Wilder.

“Per the casting notice, first reported by Decider, Ryan is ‘likable, messy, a little goofy and untamed’ and ‘nothing like Kate Kane, the woman who wore the batsuit before her.'”
“A former drug-runner, the now-reformed and sober Ryan lives in her van with her plant and is a highly skilled but wildly undisciplined fighter. Like her predecessor, Ryan is an out lesbian, with performers who identify as LGBTQ encouraged to submit for the role.”
