Many know that once the casting decision was made that launched out lesbian actor Ruby Rose into the world of comics and the DC TV Arrowverse, there was a lot of harsh criticism that lead to the actor removing herself from Twitter for an indefinite period of time. Recently, however, The Hollywood Reporter caught up with the father of the Arrowverse, Greg Berlanti and his husband, Robbie Rogers at the L.A. LGBT Center Vanguard Awards where the two echoed and praised the choice to set Rose in the title role. Rogers commented:

Greg would say, ‘What good are those heroes if they don’t look like the world they’re saving?'

Berlanti added:

Whenever you’re bringing change about in any form, there are always conversations that happen. I go all the way back to Dawson’s Creek. Twitter didn’t exist, but we would get boxes of letters expressing opinions in all directions from were we making enough change, should we be making more change, or why did we feel like we needed to do these things? It’s always part of the process, so just focus on the story and make the best episode that you can. [Ruby] is terrific in the role, and we’re excited for people to see the story.

At this stage, the debut of Batwoman is beginning to be filmed in order to be aired this December in the three-night crossover event titled, Elseworlds. The pilot for Batwoman's TV show was ordered and will begin shortly after, but the show has yet to be picked up for a full run on The CW.

It's just about time for the crossover to begin filming and with that we are likely to get our first look at several of the new characters announced for the three-night special event, (beginning on The Flash, on a special night, Sunday, December 9th). Of course, most eyes are wanting to see what Ruby Rose's Batwoman costume will look like but in addition, we have the Arrowverse's first Monitor, first Lois Lane, and because of the "Elseworlds" title, we could even see different versions of the Arrowverse's current heroes (Supergirl, Flash and Arrow). That was even hinted at via Stephen Amell's Instagram.

As we approach the new 2018 - 2019 season of the Arrowverse, here's what we know so far about Batwoman, and the Elseworld's crossover event:

• Batwoman will be a featured character in the crossover and Gotham will be explored.
• Elizabeth Tulloch has been cast as Lois Lane. (She will appear in episodes 1 and 3).
• Cassandra Jean Amell (Stephen Amell's wife) will play Nora Fries (Mr. Freeze's wife).
• Jeremy Davies from Lost has joined as Dr. John Deegan, a troubled doctor who works at Arkham Asylam in Gotham.
• Superman will join the crossover and be in all episodes. The Arrowverse's Superman is played by Tyler Hoechlin.
• LaMonica Garrett has been cast to play The Arrowverse's first Monitor, Mar Novu.
• Legends of Tomorrow will be absent from this year's crossover event.
• Batwoman is suspected to get her own show and a pilot has been ordered by The CW for 2019.

Here are some big questions we are still curious about:

• On which Earth will the crossover take place? Does this include where Batwoman's show will take place?
• How do The Flash and Arrow join up with Superman, Lois Lane, and Supergirl?
• Will Batwoman be joined by any characters that could end up on her show?

Finally, we know a bit more about the crossover but for now, that information needs to be classified as a spoiler! For more on that check out our spoilers page!

Let us know what questions you still have about the crossover and what you are looking forward to the most in the comments below and in our forum!

Batwoman, Lois Lane, Superman...these characters alone bring enough history and excitement that they could carry a crossover event on their own. But The CW and showrunners aren't done with just that, they are bringing the big guns. Announced today, the crossover title is "Elseworlds" and with that brings the whole Multiverse into play. Of course there are only a few characters that can transcend the Multiverse and this time, we guessed right! If you've been keeping an eye on our spoilers page, we guessed that the character of "Lon-El" was just a cover for the real character which we can announce today!

In fact, the villain of the crossover is actually, Mar Novu, a Monitor! For hardcore DC Comics fans, the name Mar Novu sounds very similar to Dax Novu ... perhaps there is something there. For those that don't know, Monitors are a multiversal race charged with the protection of the Multiverse. Mar Novu is described as:

An extraterrestrial being of infinite power known as the Monitor. The Monitor was created by Marv Wolfman and George Pérez as part of DC Comics’ 50th Anniversary. Mr. Pérez will be illustrating a sketch of the Monitor that plays a prominent role in the crossover’s story.

In addition to Mar Novu being revealed, we have casting news as well! LaMonica Garrett of Designated Survivor and The Last Ship will play the part of The Monitor!

This is big news as many of the crisis events in DC Comics history have dealt with the Multiverse and The Monitor(s). Let your speculation engines spin up!

We are inching closer and closer to the premiere of the 2018-2019 season of the Arrowverse and all shows have been filming since July! That means the mega-crossover event is just on the cusp of filming and in some cases has already begun! With that, more and more details about the crossover are being discovered and today we have another glimpse into what the crossover will be about! Actor Jeremy Davies has been cast as Gotham's Arkham Asylum doctor, John Deegan. The doctor certainly doesn't live up to his profession though. He is described as:

Dr. John Deegan is a doctor at Arkham Asylum For the Criminally Insane in Gotham City, but he might just be crazier than the inmates he treats. His machinations will draw Green Arrow, The Flash and Supergirl to Gotham City.

This pretty much sets up the location for the crossover as whatever it is Deegan is up to and it draws the attention of the CW's trinity! Which Earth the crossover will take place on remains a hotly contested topic however. The DC crossover kicks off with “The Flash” on Sunday, December 9 at 8pm ET.
